I’ve had a supremely annoying day, someone come gush over how wonderful a character Edwin John Courcey is with me

#I’m rereading #a marvellous light #and EDWIN BABY #I couldn’t bring myself to relisten to the audiobook bc the narrator for book one was terrible imo #and it’s so much better reading a physical copy god #a bad narrator can really kill a story #wish josh dylan could have done book one as well as book three bc he was excellent #anyway #freya marske #the last binding #books #reading #queer lit #historical fantasy #romantasy #edwin courcey #my beloved gay little edwardian nerd

But I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I’m dancing, I am free.

#as it picks me up and puts me down picks me up and puts me down and picks me up and puts me down a hundred times a day #florence + the machine #this music video makes me kinda nostalgic for a father figure I never had

#Irish #my husband has Irish citizenship #so if I were fluent that would mean #at least theoretically #it would make it a lot easier for us to get naturalized if we scarpered off as a family one day #ie it would make it easier for me to immediately get a job and thus fulfill citizenship requirements #NOT THAT IVE THOUGHT A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THIS #languages #polls

I am not unaware of the negatives of Biden's presidency, and I am not trying to elide or forgive them. I'm reblogging posts about the Biden administration because I think it's really important that potential voters in the US realize that there is, in fact, a very big difference between the two parties, and voting for Biden is not just damage control--it actually does good. It's okay, you can actually feel a little excited about making meaningful progress, and not just hold your nose.

He's been very unflashy. He's not a great leader, he's not charismatic and he knows it, but he's an adroit politician and administrator, and he's been getting things done. Letting Trump win at this point would be tantamount to throwing the entire country on the bonfire. It's not a choice between bad and bad, it's a choice between meaningful, if imperfect, progress and fucking doom.

#I will hold my fucking nose and vote for that shriveled old blowhard a second time #if we get a shot at tipping the scales of SCOTUS back from the conservative shitshow it’s become even just a wee bit in the next four years #it’ll have been worth it #us politics #joe biden

This fuckin movie that my dad made me watch at like age six:

Specifically, the (in-retrospect-comically-goofy) angel of death puppet that came to life from a marble statue and stole the Baron’s soul (??) from out of his mouth—the soul in question looked like a big glowing marble.

For *years* after watching that scene I had vivid nightmares about that skeleton figure sitting outside my bedroom door, waiting to grab my soul out of my mouth if I opened it to scream.
