What? No wait I was looking forward to muskets at dawn

I don't think oppressed/oppressor is the dynamic here though. I took the post and article as referring to the killed civilians being props for Odysseus's personal journey. Priam and Paris aren't the point

They were pretty dead by the end of it though

The movie's handling of war crimes struck me as appalling but near-unanimous glowing reviews made me feel like I was crazy, so it's good to hear Dr. Wilson agree that this movie felt like a 3 hour long adaptation of that one Frankie Boyle joke

Emily Wilson is just like me frfr

Looks good tastes great absolutely not worth the effort

What makes it mexican, you ask? Mole rojo, sofrito in the rice, avocado leaves instead of bay leaves. Why biryani? I'm glad you asked! Layers of par-cooked rice and par-cooked meat about to be steamed under fried onions.

I'm going to piss off everyone involved but BEHOLD my mexican biryani going in to dum

Without saying your age what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18?

I just know 70 makes everyone at work happy in the beginning of calls

Excited to finally share my novel, THIEF OF THE VASTBORN, for #questpit!! THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL-SIRAFI x THE SONG OF ACHILLES: Fate swap. Drowned world. Queer M/M romance. Enemies to lovers. Sea-dragons?! And more! Read the agent’s guide below. Querying soon! #F #A #RF #Q #W

Starfall: a queer space opera heavy on the intimate-stakes character drama, elfy science-fantasy, and swashbuckling starship adventure about a telepathic space elf who joins off-brand Starfleet. He's a stabby cinnamon roll who doesn't want any friends! (This is a lie.) #Questpit #Q #A #SF #SFF

wrapping up edits so here's an updated agent's guide for #questpit! :)) [BREAKING NEWS]: BROKE PHD STUDENT FAKES DEATH AND STEALS IDENTITY OF BILLIONAIRE TECH HEIRESS. TOO BAD HER GENIUS RIVAL IS ONTO HER & IS OBSESSED WITH EXPOSING HER NEW SKIN #A #Litfic #SF #LGBT #OV #Q

This feels like the first movement that can't be dismissed with readily available bigotry (Muslim, Khalistan etc.) and the visuals are striking enough that even my most conservative family members are revisiting their views on CAA/farmers. The hope is faint, but it's there!

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

My short story "New Game Plus" will be in @adventitiouswords.bsky.social soon! Keep an eye out if you like video games, wobbly fourth walls, or knowing why you can't play cards in the jungle

One of the best books I've read in recent years, even if turning the page takes forever seconds of clicking and walking

THE BLESSÈD EVER-CHANGING MAP An autistic demi-girl nun and her golden retriever boyfriend track down God to demand They explain the invisible wall shoving her across their magical shifting world. Two disaster bisexuals, trapped in a sidescroller. Will they kiss? #BluePit #📖 #Q #F #A #LGBT #ND

This meter is a bit too pleased to see @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social
