Not concerned with blog consistency or a curated online presence so posting is sporadic and uncoordinated. Current interests: literature, especially Brideshead Revisited and the Secret History + gothic fiction in general, The Beatles, postwar British history, Twin Peaks, Severance, postpunk, and writing (this was meant to be a writeblr once upon a time).

i do think every single "sexuality is so complex and fluid" person is just bisexual. bisexuality is chic and you should be proud!

I have this library book and the end pages are a picture of Piccadilly Circus in the 70s and there’s just a bus that has CIS written on the side? The foremother, or perhaps the enemy

What’s been done to cannibalism in fiction on this site is so sad…

That said a brief foray into tiktok led me to something like “when men make art about cannibalism it’s about capitalism when women make art about cannibalism it’s about sex” which is just so frustratingly reductive and honestly misogynistic imo…the really fantastic thing about incorporating anything ever into fiction is that its meaning is not universal but fluid depending on the context

If you're in the UK and you're worried about benefit cuts, I know how you feel. I'm anxious, upset, and desperately angry. I'm sure a lot of you are too.

Scope, a UK based disability charity, outline the cuts and explain them here. This is kept up to date as things are discussed and changed by the government. They have a petition here.

Scope also offer advice and support for disabled people, and have a helpline for this. More information here.

Sense, another UK based disability charity, have a template to email your local MP. This is available here, and can be customised to add your personal story and why you're worried about the cuts. They email it on your behalf, so you don't need to worry about finding their email address and emailing it yourself, you just fill in the form! If you can, please share this with friends and family! The more people email their MPs, the more impact it will have. Support from Sense is available on their website.
