They will never die, never tire, always heal... but only ever want what everyone else has. Justified with a weirdly complex magic system. Love that stuff

Because they rely on parasitism to stay alive-after all, they can't really afford to give anything away without threatening their basically dead body-they struggle with real connections, and tend to take more than they need.

To summarize it, in the Craft Sequence novels vampires are *basically* killed, but through magic their bodies are preserved. So their muscles never tire, they never need to eat, they never need to breathe. But the magic keeping them going requires outside life, makes them parasitic.

The left is floundering, insipid, and useless at confronting an ascendant fascism founded upon male supremacy because it is dominated by drooling idiots who have never had a single thought about gender beyond “sex is fun” and “I love mommy.”

None of these people take feminism seriously as an intellectual tradition or women seriously as an oppressed class, and this is not merely a product of personal and societal misogyny, but an obstacle to their understanding. It makes them stupid.

But, relevant to my scholarly interests, there is a constant and cross-political insistence that everyone else’s religious identity is just a hustle to get undeserved benefits or advantages.

It’s not just that Trump is personally a rapist, though there’s lots of credible evidence to suggest that he is. It’s that he is promoting a fundamentally pro-rape ideology, and that the permissiveness for rape and entitlement to rape that are core to his worldview are central to his appeal for men.

those socks are so ugly they make me want to not work for lockheed more. but i see the point
