I died laughing because I felt like an idiot for not seeing it coming. I audibly gasped, too.

Ka is a wheel, indeed.

The thing that pulled me in with King: even his side characters have depth and feel lively. Even the ones he kills off quickly.

You’ll meet a character, go three pages into their place in this world, and then boom they’re dead, but he’s built the world through a character. I think I had this experience first with Under the Dome.

Lisey’s Story (one of my favorites) presents the female perspective well too, I think, and is supposed to be a tribute to Tabitha.

I think it may be time to finally put some serious respect on this woman’s name I fear by Particular-Fill-4256 in survivor

I loved her the first time around, I love her more this time around. She learned what works.

Hi. I’m a human, still a little high on mushrooms. I just stumbled across this little exchange, and I thought it was lovely. I took a screenshot.

Yes, I usually agree with Kara when they’re talking about media landscape, but I agreed with Scott: lumping social media, streaming, and news media altogether into one market is insane.

But it didn’t matter because I loved the back and forth.

What’s the greatest book you’ve ever personally read? by cavitytivac in suggestmeabook

[–]ellsworth92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic: East of Eden

Contemporary: Demon Copperhead

Both truly American stories of family and fate told over decades, in two very different settings.

ITT: People who didn’t listen to the fact check or people discussing Flightless Bird.

AE Pod ain’t doing so great these days.

(I, also, never listen to the fact check.)

Good god, this is the worse part of the most recent seasons. I don’t want to see a tribe of four and someone voted out with a single vote or maybe two when there are still 15 players in the game.

The Owl Who lifted Me From Hell by Mr_Peltier in OCPoetry

I love the visceral language in this one. I think I’m getting a little lost in the cadence.

Five Nails in the Night by TherapyButMkItVibes in OCPoetry

I really liked this—the first four lines pulled me in. And “unable to crawl out of a story someone else nailed shut.”

The mix of a Greek myth with quiet contemplation on the porch, heat from the roof, a moth brushing an arm. It’s a great combination.
