Dhalgren by Samuel Delany

(Close race with House of Leaves, but ultimately House of Leaves was telling a specific story, whereas Dhalgren is a semi-incoherent drug trip. Loved both books, though.)

He’s certainly got grit.

I came for the alas, stayed for the atlas.

I’m surprised it only took $17.50 to get the groundhog out.

Better vehicle, same people. 🤷🙂

…is this loss?

I’d flip your mom’s position in bed.

I usually point to Sandman (Neil Gaiman) as best-in-genre, personally. But it’s like any genre – some people prefer Don Quixote, others prefer East of Eden.

You do the food crime, you do the food time.

Exercise helped me, but didn’t work by itself.

Adding therapy helped more, but didn’t work by itself.

Adding meds helped more, but I don’t lean on them alone.

Which is just to say, it’s not either/or. :-)

That said, I started going on long nature hikes, usually 4-5 miles but up to 17 sometimes. Download podcasts and music for offline access. Later, my therapist suggested taking notes after my walks, about how I felt / what was on my mind – now I do it more often than not, and it’s been helpful too.

“One of the things that makes people dislike religious folk is the tendency of believers to destroy entire relationships over violating dogma, breaking families and refusing to support children.”

…which is to say, let’s not clutch our pearls over jokes, especially those made by communities that are often very scarred by religious abuse. “Punching up” isn’t the problem here.

I think the plural is Margots Robbie.

Yikes! Stripes. :'(

I agree with the sentiment, but acktshually… https://blog.chromium.org/2021/01/limiting-private-api-availability-in.html

Being raised christian really soured me to anything christian. ;-)

Tanking Janet Jackson’s career and slut-shaming Britney. Both were accepted behaviors at the time, but IMO that just makes it worse, he never even had to really account for it.

I think you have the vaccine part backwards?

In this case, the sweeping 64-page bill also dealt with city and county governance and banned COVID-19 vaccine requirements for public workers in Missouri.

The court struck down the law that banned mandates.

I mean, strictly speaking, are not all abbreviations unnecessary? Sticking-my-tongue-out ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange symbol face.
