the next stew i want to make is porc au cidre. real great grandma type food
boneysoups.bsky.social
the recipe is sear your beef, take it out, cook up your onions, add a little flour, then a little tomato paste, then your various herbs, then wine and stock to cover, simmer for an hour or two, add a little dijon mustard, last of all add your potatoes and carrots and once they're soft you can eat it

BEYOND BLACK treads on similar ground and it hurt me in a whole different way. I feel a sense of psychic woundedness even looking at the cover design. "but it is horror" no i'm not taking questions

Sure they're gonna be asking questions of interest to fans, bringing out insights that will be relevant to them, yadda yadda
boneysoups.bsky.social
Oop my bad! That's very interesting!

Stew season. Watch the FUCK out

love to hear EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY shouted out on @talkscaredpod.bsky.social, a book which inflicted sincere damage on me (complimentary)

I wonder if the total social ostracism of gay people had anything to do with the fact that these marriages used to be common

For me it’s when they’re getting the tour from Ullman and he asks them a question and Wendy answers it, cutting Jack off, and he gives her this LOOK

Kubrick’s Jack has this absolute shimmering hatred for his family from the jump, it’s amazing

im rewatching The Shining for the millionth time and while i think the book does some things better (getting us into Jack's head) the book is a story about a good man swallowed by ghosts and Kubrick's story is about a family annihilator, and thus much, much scarier

interesting to think about writers “enforcing” the presumption of monogamy rather than responding to it
boneysoups.bsky.social
yeah, it’s not like misogyny originates in sexual desire

When people say things like “I want a lavender marriage” I feel like what they are actually wanting is a marriage explicitly between equals where needs are named and met without the lies and mysticism common to gendered relations. all of which is possible in a straight marriage

and arguably damage to others, considering they held themselves up as an example and urged people to do the same!

he and his wife ended up breaking with their religious community, divorcing, and living in separate homes on the same property so they could raise their family together. they found happiness but the damage this marriage did to both of them was atrocious.

years ago I read a heartfelt and totally harrowing essay by a gay man in a “mixed-orientation marriage” who was suicidal the entire time, even as he was publicly evangelizing his marriage as an example to others

If you follow me on here you will know everything and that’s a promise
boneysoups.bsky.social
oh i never saw this until now and it is INCREDIBLE

they're playing my song (Marx and vampires, Moretti and Dracula)
"Marx, as is well known, was fond of comparing capital to vampires, most famously in the passage in Capital that reads: ‘Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.’ In ‘Dialectic of Fear’, Franco Moretti argues that the figure of Dracula in particular, which Marx did not live to see, refers to a more specific set of anxieties, experienced by the British bourgeoisie at the height of what the Budapest-born social theorist Karl Polanyi called ‘the international system’ – held together by the balance of power, the self-regulating market, the gold standard and the liberal state – and what we might call the ‘first era of globalization’. According to Moretti, the Romanian Count represents the threat of monopoly, and thus of backsliding from market liberalism into ‘feudal’ despotism." "Because Stoker does not recognize that the self-regulating market is a utopian myth, and that unfettered market competition is itself what generates monopoly, it is necessary that he frame the threat to economic liberalism as ‘oriental, tyrannical. It cannot be a part of that very society he wants to defend.’ His solution to the threat of backsliding is to forge an ideological collectivity that is strong enough to fend off the ‘foreign’ vampire without compromising existing individual property relations, represented in the novel by marriage. The panacea he arrives at is nationalism – albeit with a little help from such free-market friends as Dutch academic Abraham Van Helsing and Texan financier Quincy P. Morris. But as Moretti reminds us, Dracula does not end with the death of the Count, it ends with the death of Morris, a pre-emptive narrative strike against the rising American empire that doubles as a bit of wishful thinking on Stoker’s part."

You know what, on ao3, sure
