What about if you have the bunions and the claw toes and the crap feet, but have never worn high heels? (except that one time at that shitty wedding, and I'm never doing that again, yo!) I've always worn the unfeminine, practical Liz Lemon shoes, and I STILL ended up with my mom's achy office-lady feet - yay genetic…
Giganta?! On Jeep skates? Fantastic. I would watch the hell out of this show. I like the liberties taken with line style and laws of physics.
Oh gawd, that last one! So haunted by these insidious dreams too... Actually, nope, let's not even talk about it, we must keep them not-existing.
Yes! The crazy world-building really started paying off by that point in the book, where they're in such close quarters and the culture clash is right there in the tent with them. Her works build slowly, but it's worth the effort, (though, full admission, I'm still struggle to find the time and headspace to finish…
The Bammer is a genius. (editing because Apple is ruining the word "genius" for this context. The Bammer performs thought-miracles.)
Wow, amazing work!
Yeah, totally, its general cultural use is "suspicious" or a "hidden rottenness", but that's not so far off from what the misogynistic insult implies, that one's rotten woman bits are spoiling things somehow.
This was my thought too, terrible for guitar. Left hand, don't mess with your finger pads, and right hand, won't it change the phase or polarity of your pickups?
I am SO with you on this interpretation, I'm not feeling any "cunt power" from this. I funnily enough have almost no problem with the word "cunt", but GOD HOW I HATE the word "fishy". "Fishy" is never a fucking compliment, assholes, and my beautiful cunt does not smell like a goddamn fish, no matter what your gross…
I'd also be curious to see whether the ratio is closer to 50:50 in short fiction sci-fi. (I'd suspect it is, just from my own experience reading anthologies, but that could be down to anthology editors mindfully choosing their selection of authors)
Thank you for bring up Ursula Le Guin!! It's mystifying why she is never on any these Top Sci-fi Icons lists. How is it possible she isn't more widely known and celebrated? Her work is aMAZing, so weird, so smart - all her books have haunted my mind for months, sometimes years later. I'm sure she's influencing way…
Umbrella! (my prettiest one, not the shabby black rainforest workhorse) I get some horrified stares, I won't lie, but the old Chinese ladies in my neighbourhood know what they're doing, so I take cues from them. Sunscreen is never enough for me either, I need the portable shade.
I think it's a type of applique/tapestry ribbon sewing notion that you buy for a couple of bucks a yard/metre at the craft shop. It has a fabric backing (black in this case) that may or may not be iron-on adhesive. Also, the "gemstones" are quite possibly furry.
I have now seen the episodes (on youtube under Svlad Cjelli) and I must thank you again for the tip - the show was delightful!
Oh, wow, really? (googling...) Holy cow, how did I miss that?! Thanks so much for that heads-up. Looks like I have some episodes to track down this weekend, what fun!
Shades of Grey was a great book! What weird world-building... I love it. (Though I realized midway through that the title was getting raised eyebrows from fellow bus passengers who thought I was reading that other one)
Douglas Adams' "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and the sequel "The Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul". ("The excerpts for the "Salmon of Doubt" sounded so promising, but were so short... dammit, now I miss him again)
I always marvel at how expensive and commercialized quilting has gotten, too. I'm old and have made dozens of quilts, and I think used clothes are best - they're so sturdy and the colours don't run in the washing machine. I collect handmedowns from whomever I'm making the quilt for and then visit the thrift shop to…
