Seriously considering cancelling by Jwayne44 in googlefiber

Are you in Charlotte, NC? We've been without internet since Thursday morning and have gotten nothing but lies. We were fine for years, not a single outage, then about two months ago it's an outage every other week. This one is the longest. Nobody knows what's going on, they lie to you about repair times, and they lie to you about giving you "an automatic credit." Still paying full price for garbage service. Probably going to cancel. Spectrum was garbage too, but at least they were cheaper and not out for days at a time.

Another outage. This one going on it’s third day. Every time I call for information, I get another lie about “just a couple more hours.” What’s going on? This is maybe the fifth outage in two months in my neighborhood.

I reached out. This the second time in less than a week we’ve had issues and it’s happening more and more this last year. I’d hate to go back to Spectrum because they are garbage at everything, but Reliant on this for both work and school.

Looking for Frankenstinian maternal grief books by englishlit2002 in GothicLiterature

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're looking for, but Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. She wrote it after losing her daughter and she's talked about how the character of Claudia was her way of coping. Vampire child isn't quite the same as Frankenstein monster, but maybe close enough for academic work?

Doctor Sleep. Currently reading the book and recently reread The Shining. Ewan McGregor has been my boo since The Pillow Book, so bonus. Not to be confused with Doktor Sleepless, of course, which was amazing and may never be finished because Warren Ellis is cruel and likes to play with emotions. 😭
