A diptych of two illustrations depicting Griffith and Guts from the manga / anime Berserk. On the left, Griffith is riding a white horse into a thick wall of leaves, holding up his sword. Red hands reach out of the ground and are grabbing at him and the horse. Large red text above him reads: "Long ago..." On the right, Guts is riding a horse that has its legs up in the air, surrounded by three white flags. His face is depicted as a black silhouette with red slits for eyes. He swings his sword upward and it's covered in blood. Below him, large red text reads, "There was a longing"

FLESH WITHOUT BLOOD #BERSERK

one of the great joys of reading rare books on archivedotorg is getting to see shit like this preserved <3

there really is something for EVERYONE in here. obviously I'm excited to put on the Godspeed You! Black Emperor live shows at some point but I'm also beside myself at there being a recorded Pram gig. and CIBO MATTO!!!!!!!

I mean also. help why am I being called out I wasn't even born yet

and/or insane; a part of a chapter from this book (THE LIZARD CLUB) was printed in the last issue of the 80s-early 90s zine HOMOCORE, which I read scans of in an obsessive fit around this time last year

oh my god I'm reading Steve Abbott for the first time and I feel so fucking seen

update on this is that two separate women in their seventies asked me if I knew I had an incredible voice, like "a radio person's" today. which honestly is really nice bc usually I am like oh my god my voice sounds like a rusted-shut gate everyone is going to think I am ELEVEN and HORRIBLE

is the "Richard Shindell has tboy swag" contingent even on this website. there are dozens of us. well, maybe three.

f I do in fact make it to the Carsie Blanton, Rent Strike, and William Basinski shows in the next several months as well this will be one goddamn fucking year for live music in Crowe Territory!!!!!

Richard Shindell is playing Southgate House, an all-time fave venue, in October, & while I'm excited to see a songwriter I've loved for 20yrs in a converted punk church it's also like. try telling 15yrold me "Richard Shindell is playing at a location where you've had gay sex in the bathroom"

[albinoblacksheep voice] Hokay. So.

that's the shape that those guys are!!!!!

today I learned Warhol did this art of a Westie named Lenny Bruce and you must forgive me because I am going to display this in my home immediately

I used my deadname for you, you genocidal fucking freak who can't even record an away message for your voicemail that sounds invested

screamed at Gr*g L*ndsman's voicemail. I do not feel better.

okay tdov is over but I worked a closing shift so you're just going to have to admire your local luddite cyberpunk anarchist corvid now instead. also I'm very tired but I am sustained by egg and cheese bagel and Arab funk and disco 💫

DOC! TOR! REEEEEEEEED! 💫

I have also felt so much happier and more confident in my genderfluidity since starting t! hell yeah high five. I look forward to getting hairier and bulkier and wearing more silk and lace 🖤

sorry you have: THOSE??????? 👀 (though I'm also unbelievably happy with my full run that Corey bought as they came out at Borders and Barnes & Noble in the 2000s and are still in gently worn in but perfect condition)

despite it all u can still read a book your friend loves and come to understand something new about them

"Eagle of the Ninth" is gripping, isn't it?

Interesting how the NYT soft peddles this by saying "critics say".

No, Ben Gvir who wrote the law, says that.

outsourcing my executive dysfunction: what movie should I watch. be prepared that this could remind me of a different movie I might watch instead.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

breaking: little transgender freak bleaches and cuts hair; suddenly sheds 60% of accumulated dysphoria for "mystery reasons"
