One of the reasons we stopped making History Honeys at the moment we did is my next episode was going to be about the rise of financialization and it was too depressing to write. That was five years ago.

Have heard the job market for Occult Work is miserable, fwiw. At best there’s some psychic detective agencies hiring entry-level, maybe an adjunct gig at Miskatonic.
The @universityofexeter.bsky.social now has a PhD in Magic and Occult Sciences open for applications, check out the website www.exeter.ac.uk/study/pg-res...

i don't have any updates besides how climbing the tower from Only Up led to finding a bunch of wood people partying and calling me cool, and you know what that was a real self-esteem boost, i appreciated that
i'm not a prude (all-time tweet opener), i just want lune to start wearing shoes. We're not traversing gentle terrain here, she's kicking and stomping to summon magical death, and i would just feel a lot more comfortable if she were shod or booted or

There are like entire religions around why this is a bad thing.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

several-story tall faceless horrors? Piece of cake.

Dominique Giant Feet, a tall wooden guy with big feet? Can't parry him. A jock exposed to jazz. A spanner in the works.

ludonarrative dissonance: gustave wants maelle to stay behind because she's young and he was her caretaker and worries, and i want her to stay with the group because she wrecks shop. Just kills motherfuckers. Goes to town. Insane that he thinks she should stay behind. #clairobscur

thinking about how if times were different, our ailing political leaders could be persuaded to sleep with the gilded skeletons of saints as we pumped vapors of mercury into their sleeping tents to cure them of their ailments with the Power of Alchemy

I don't want to engage with Jared Kushner's friend defending the NYT except to say I can't roll my eyes hard enough at calling it "conspiracy theories." Class interests align right before our eyes every single day. They're not even that coy about it, or their Zohran coverage wouldn't be what it is.
