some of the replies are baffling, in what world are George Eliot and Cusk (love both) avant garde prose stylists? I’d agree with the better answers, (Angela Carter, Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein) and add Clarice Lispector to the list. Among contemporary writers, Claire…

Besides Virginia Woolf, which female novelists are the queens of stylistically avant-garde English-language literature?



counterpoint: I met my husband in NYC, and I doubt either of us would have paired up successfully had we lived somewhere else. honestly my time there made me appreciate what I have now. And it was a stimulating place to live when I was younger- I have no regrets.

Do not let your daughter fall in love with NYC. DRASTICALLY increases the chances she ends up 35 and single and makes grandkids for you basically a lost cause. Southern culture is amazing when it comes to family values, having a lot of kids, and less emphasis on a high powered…



even when i was very earnestly trying to accept the ideology, their calling themselves “lesbians” hit me on some visceral level & made me deeply uncomfortable for reasons i didn’t want to unpack.

"Trans lesbians" are men. Men who attempt to get lesbians (who are women) to have sex with them are vile, predatory scum.



some old friends were in town a few days ago. we have a tradition of playing a pictionary/telephone drawing game when they visit. when they learned of Minotaur Book the drawings turned unspeakably obscene. might get banned if i post details.🐄a good (bad?) time was had by all.

if AI UBI becomes reality, eliminates email jobs, & gives rise to informal local economies where we’d barter/sell crafts, goods, odd job services, etc for extra $, wouldn’t this cause support for tariffs, immigration restriction, and radical domestic deregulation to explode?

All the Jane Goodall discourse is good. She wanted to kill 7.5bn humans, she was a great beauty, she believed in Bigfoot, she started the chimpanzee wars by giving them bananas and/or fucking them. This is the kind of legacy to strive for: insane, illegible, larger-than-life.


X has thoroughly trained me to assume accounts like this are pakistani and should be blocked on sight.

what’s amusing is that everyone makes assumptions about my politics right out of the gate because of how i look, all kinds of comments about “white people,” etc.

My sense is Asians are one of the key reasons wokeness became what it became, especially its signature illiberalism. Also cultural appropriation was all Asian girls as far as I could tell



the most tradwife thing i do is bake bread every week. saves money, quick meal, better than store bought.
