Whalefall far exceeded my expectations by using one simple trick: if you are going to write a novel about a teenage boy wrestling with the complex legacy of his cruel father, that teenage boy should have gender dysphoria

one more Miasmapost for the road: the one newspaper at the start of the movie that talks about Camp Miasma's "trans twist" is really funny if you don't read Billy's in-movie character as trans, because it implies that the reviewer considered an exposition dump in the first 10 minutes a "twist"
Avery is one of the best, most innovative designers the medium has ever seen, and Quiet Year will work for you even if you have never played a TTRPG before.

I regret to inform you that this too is Infinite Jest (literally though; this is the separatists' strategy after IJ's Trump analogue takes office!)
ℳatt@matttomic.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Parti Québecois, a party whose hold raison-d'être is separatism, recently said they were putting all separation talk on the backburner for the remainder of Trump's term. Do you know how insane that is? Trump healed 200 years of Franco-Anglo tensions purely by being a giant asshole.
