A liberal writer who fears the Lacanian real? Turns out that her mountains of pages of text are just a weak defense against existential horror lmao, liberalism is literally an ideology for frightened delusional children hiding from the dark
I once saw some people say Halloween is reactionary because Zombies and Mummies are African things that white people find scary. Also that the word Spooky is a slur.
I swear we going to be a Halloween/Christmas mode the day after labor day in a year's time. I already saw the "holiday" peppermint flavors of things in my local big-box grocery.
Twitter has been surreal because I grew up thinking Joyce Carol Oates and writers like her were geniuses. I read her novel Zombie like three times. Black Water is good too, and whichever the one was about the kid who becomes a prophet. Yet she is consistently just goofy and condescending on twitter
I used to worship William Gibson too and that's been harder. He's the most lib person imaginable in Twitter and I have no idea how to reconcile it's the same guy who wrote Mona Lisa Overdrive.
For some reason Stephen King being a turbo lib hasn't hit me as hard, possibly because he made fun of himself in his books, so I already thought of him as kinda goofy.
PSA: please remember that plastic is bad for the environment and climate, instead try to use organic skeletons, preferably locally sourced billionaires
