Joyride: A Memoir-Dissection of David Cronenberg's 'Crash'
Roughly three years after I lost control of my mother’s car and crashed it into a tree in the median of a two-way road, I forced myself to watch David Cronenberg’s Crash for the first time.

reading austen is important for a number of impractical life skills but mostly in how to call someone a wanker to their face in the 18th century — "I send no compliments to your mother" — the recipient would carry that around for 20 years and then kill themselves

charlotte brontë had a tendency to make the daddies in her ddlg fantasies also feel very babygirl in some ways to the point that i would consider it a defining feature of her dynamics vs. other writers of the gothic. like heathcliff or maxim de winter could spit in rochester’s mouth by comparison

I wrote about how the success of the story feels, to me, a little bit like getting some revenge.
“…reminders that the regime’s attempt to use political power to enact cultural power was not equal to the task of keeping this [queer media] from us.“
