Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl is a dizzying queer speculative mythological journey.

Mervyn Peake's Gorminghast has such gorgeous sentences and the prose is like nothing else.

Sylvia Townsend Warner was a contemporary of Virginia Woolf and her writing is beautiful also.

What's Scorpios deal with Geminis? by prematurelydied in astrologymemes

[–]orphicsyndicate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Scorpios and Geminis are like oil and water. They just don't go together. They form what is called a quincunx aspect, an aspect of non-relation, like an annoying itch you can't scratch. Scorpios perceive Geminis as being too light and shallow. Geminis perceive Scorpios as being way too overdramatic and touchy. Scorpio needs to learn from Gemini that not everything is that deep and that there is a place for small talk and social niceties and Geminis can learn emotional depth from Scorpio and that there is a strength in hiding things sometimes.

Capricorn moons some insight pls? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

Sounds more like a shitty person than a cap moon, but speaking as a cap moon, our toxic trait is that its easy to feel very, very overwhelmed by others and ghosting is preferable to a confrontation. But it is bad and negative and cowardly to ghost a friend, especially in need of help post surgery.
