TC Mangan: A Feast of Tongues

when i write a story i try to have something at least a little odd or formally surprising in it. current story's conceit is that i am attempting to imagine what it is like to be cishet

travelling back in time and telling myself not to agree to dogsit in the west country the same week the prince charles is premiering THE SHROUDS

gundam on tuesdays. poker face on thursdays. doctor who on saturdays. weekly tv is back baybeee

inventing a special kind of soap for trans women on patches called Gunk-B-Gone

honey don't! trailer dropped and she's keeping her terrible southern accent. we won

tori.doc 🍉@forgetfulsurf.bsky.social · last yr.

in conclusion, 2024 was a great year for film lovers. and by 'film lovers' i mean people who are really, to an almost regrettable degree, attracted to margaret qualley

had enough of the apps i'm gonna start going to readings and telling people they have a strong authorial voice

one thing about doctor who is that it loves the liberal world order

"i'm so hot" feminism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

trying to improve my writing and get some of it published while also trying not to write like i have an MFA

had a dream last night of such obvious symbolism that i’m actually annoyed at my subconscious for its lack of creativity

it turns out the real ‘shape of punk to come’ was ‘sixty quid tickets to definitely our last shows ever we mean it this time for real’

Really pleased to share this podcast I recorded with Sophie (@reproutopia.bsky.social) about a month ago. I think our conversation was fairly interesting but the idea of listening back to it gives me the horrors so you'll have to find out for yourself! thinkpieces-review.co.uk/podcast/epis...

outing myself as a bad literary critic and a bad anarchist because i still get bakunin and bakhtin mixed up on the regular

stagediving at the sunn O))) show but the crowd parts and i hit the cold hard concrete, bleeding out slowly to the crushingly slow riffs. attaining nirvana in that moment

i'm not like other trans girls (colin the caterpillar plush instead of a blåhaj)

finished deep space nine last night. they simply do not make em like that any more!!

just leveraged the full resources of my university to print one (1) copy of a zine i found on the wayback machine. the high is unbelievable

i met maddie in passing about ten years ago and since then she's become such an important presence in my life, more than i think she knows. probably i'm not the only one who feels this way! perhaps you'll join me on her birthday by giving what you can to her fundraiser for gender affirming care?

Donate to Maddie's Gender Affirming Healthcare Fundraiser, organized by Blake Harrison

This fundraiser exists to make facial feminisation surgery (FFS), laser… Blake Harrison needs your support for Maddie's Gender Affirming Healthcare Fundraiser

gofund.me

writing a literature thesis is probably one of the top ten stupidest things to be doing in this historical moment. and yet

in the future of "everything for everyone" there's no more academia. the narrators include a footnote explaining what it was because they live in a society where knowledge production is decentralised and free to all. that's been on my mind a lot the last few days

it probably says nothing good about me but i'm kind of fascinated by this stuff. feels like a william gibson novel leaking into the real world www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Trans Cult Who Believes AI Will Either Save Us—or Kill Us All

What the Zizians, a trans vegan cult allegedly behind multiple murders, can teach us about radicalization and our tech-addled politics.

my teen years were for staying alive. my twenties are for getting degrees. excited to find out what stultifying process i spend my thirties on

i love going to an event run by some local organisers and the guest speaker taking time out to get a quick dig in on anarchists for some reason. i love solidarity <3

in conclusion, 2024 was a great year for film lovers. and by 'film lovers' i mean people who are really, to an almost regrettable degree, attracted to margaret qualley

this weather... it's finish your novel time. it's life is worth living time. it's time to slough off your dead outer skin. it's iced coffee in the park. but most importantly it's going to last two days and then go back to being winter

last night i dreamed that fitzcarraldo published a 700 page tome simply called EMMA GOLDMAN but i couldn’t find it anywhere because every time i went into a bookshop i forgot who wrote it

every time i shake someone's hand i feel like i've gotten back in the closet a little bit, but i'll die before i curtsey to someone. abolish the lot i say, bring back the socialist fraternal kiss
