#no one is talking about this

[galina]

I'm arriving at No One Is Talking About This a little late, and some of it feels dated already, inevitable because of the immediacy and online-ness of the language it uses. Though it's fiction it's clear Patricia Lockwood is a poet, some fragments in this are gut punches that I'll carry with me for a while

Modern womanhood was more about rubbing snail mucus on your face than she had thought it would be. But it had always been something, hadn't it? Taking drops of arsenic. Winding bandages around the feet. Polishing your teeth with lead. It was so easy to believe you freely chose the paints, polishes, and waist-trainers of your own time, while looking back with tremendous pity to women of the past in their whalebones; that you took the longest strides your body was capable of, while women of the past limped forward on broken arches.

I think this is it, y'all. Fanfiction dot net's under maintenance and it may come back. But things don't look good for the old Pit of Voles.

As a reminder, you can download any fic from fanfiction dot net from before 2014-2015 here.

Update- Site is online as of July 14, 2024

What did we have a right to expect from this life? What were the terms of the contract?
