I'm reading Wuthering Heights for the first time. Is Ellen/Nelly meant to be the baddie? Her narrative is filled with instances of her not passing on messages or misrepresenting what was said.

In some casual research I came across an article called "How are women sicker than men? An overview of psychosomatic problems in women."
I found it on JSTOR, it's an actual article. Written in 1982.
I hate it. I hate the accusing tone, I hate that it was accepted, I hate it all.

A modern version of "clearly it was The Aliens who helped this group of not white folks build their impressive stuff"
R F Kuang is hands down one of the best writers alive at the moment. It’s insane that people are even suggesting AI is the reason. Why can’t people just let her be a best selling author without this veiled jealousy? If she was a white man, no one would be making these accusations.

It's occurred to me that the #GSFWC Gallus anthology came out over a year ago, so:
1) I should probably freshen up my bio a bit, and
2) I should probably submit somewhere else one of these days

Yes.
I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.
Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
