“Cryptovexillologist” served me well, but it was time for a new alias reflecting everything I’ve done since then, and with some nice parallelism to @utilitymonstergirl

New URL (was Cryptovexillologist), I felt it was time for a new era

whoever at fromsoft is writing about how sometimes you bury the part of you that is a girl in a secret garden beneath mountains of rotten corpse slime: its not too late

had a dream about a play that made me think "I gotta hang onto the playbill and such to prove this wasn't just a weird dream I had," it was something like "surreal, very dark comedy about a TV station trying to stage a production of the Iliad in a wacky dystopian future facing huge food and water shortages"

Just rediscovered potentially the funniest thing I’ve written in recent memory

Y'know, it's weird how the Egbert house doesn't have a garage or a carport or anything. Surely a paragon of fatherly responsibility like Mr Egbert would know better than to simply leave his car exposed to the elements at all times.

oh man, just like the original intended audience for MLP:FIM being old enough to join in on the fandom shitposting, it'll be wild to see the same happen with Bluey

The bank across the street has some safety PSAs about One-Time Passcodes, or OTPs, which has produced such gems as

If someone calls to ask you for your OTP, hang up.

Pachinko is one of my favorite novels I’ve read in recent years, it’s gotten plenty of accolades but they’re completely deserved; it’s historical fiction about several generations of a Korean family living in Japan throughout the 20th century, it does not pull punches with its details, and flits from POV to POV in a way that builds a rich web of context for everything

Class, race, religion, gender, empire, etc. are a bundle of spears that lightly prod everyone all the time, except for when they accelerate right through someone’s heart. But within this, everyone still has agency and interiority and a well-realized point of view, where even the most sympathetic characters think and do things that jar a modern audience. Fuckin’ tour-de-force.

I’ve been reading more lately due to audiobooks, so I’ve decided to come here to solicit book recommendations. Some notes:

I’m open to a wide variety of genres.

That being said, no romance. By which I mean it can have romance, but I don’t want anything where the plot is centered around romance, i.e. no Nicolas Sparks or anyone adjacent.

I’m open to YA, but not seeking it out.

Don’t be afraid to recommend something I’ve almost certainly already heard of. Some of my favorite books are ones that most people know the plot of due to cultural osmosis.

a while back I saw a news photo of Psy as the judge of a K-pop competition show, leaning back with the confidence of "I am the reason why any of you have a shot at an international career"

I'm very happy that the first global K-pop smash was a pudgy guy in his 30s with a history of singing stuff like "kill these fucking Yankee pigs" making fun of a very specific neighborhood of Seoul... sometimes the whims of history are beautiful
