So I got around to watching San Junipero

and

I'M GAY.

It's really nice when I ask for book recommendations and among the suggestions are two of my favorite series and a third book that I really enjoyed. Makes me believe more in the other stuff suggested alongside :)

@emanate that's the second or third time I've had Bone Dance recommended to me! Will check it out.

@mawr :D I've read the first and third of those, and will check out the others!

@LexYeen oh shit this just reminded me that I still need to finish Dresden Files!

Anyone have random book recommendations for something fun to read?

@HTHR@cybre.space fuckin' please. Time and I have never gotten along.

@Eve@witches.town best metaphor I've heard for body dysphoria compares it to seeing one of those broken bones that leaves a limb crooked and just /wrong/. That deep, instinctive sense that it's just not how a body ought to look.

That feeling when watching a show and being so confused at being unable to understand the dialogue for the five minutes it takes to realize that subs aren't on.

Turning it on makes the overhead room light start to strobe.

Apparently yr electrician gf didn't notice that it wasn't plugged in.

The cord was not actually long enough to reach any plugs at the appliance's placed location.

I think a good test of media savviness is "can you detect a piece's bullshit even when it's bullshit you agree with?"

@starkatt By showing people epic-length fanfics that are better than the original published work.

Like the one I found on Tumblr once where Harry is a Squib, but because McGonagall refuses to go easy on him he becomes good enough at theoretical magic to lead Dumbledore's Army anyway

and an inspiring enough leader that he can mobilize his classmates to kill Voldemort in the end

and afterward he and Hermione become advocates for Squib rights

@Aradia@mastodon.social I wasn't around then so I don't know if it's the same?

The microwave in this hotel room has a dial and no buttons and I have no idea how to operate it.
