“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)

I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly

I realise it's 100% predictable of me to be enamoured with metatextual wankery, but I really appreciate the textual conceit in Nobilis whereby the game is ostensibly an in-universe document (i.e., the tabletop RPG Nobilis exists in the setting of Nobilis), particularly in light of the 3rd Edition's revelation that author's fictionalised self-insert is a human thrall of the generic Excrucian Deceiver who keeps popping up in the game's examples of play, with its concomitant implication that the game's systems of play are in-universe Excrucian propaganda. Like, forget about unreliable narrators – this one has unreliable rules!

bro i love sports and women. i got to like 8th base with this hot babe “8th base whats that” she took me to the house she grew up in and showed me pictures of her dead relatives. we sat in the living room and she told me the stories of her life that lead to that moment. like quicksand they, and that moment were gone and we left back into the cold world which we’d been spat into. It was raining

My submission to The Tortured Poets Department is this beautiful poem I wrote for my friend. I have redacted his name to protect his bodacious identity.

i love the phase "knock you into next week" because it implies that time travel can in fact be achieved with enough violence
