What is your Hogwarts house?
Actually I've already processed all five stages of grief in regards to a beloved author from my childhood very publicly making the jump from "milquetoast liberal with unexamined biases" to "actively dangerous bigot who will double down into perpetuity" and will no longer be basing any part of my identity on her intellectual property! Thanks for asking!

I don’t think welfare fraud is a problem period I genuinely don’t. I don’t care when it happens and it means nothing to me. I’m glad. As if the government doesn’t steal from you every day lmao… I don’t give a damn

Damn! I did love The Girl With All The Gifts, I’ll check out the other you recommended. Thanks!
Hey Seanan, I’ve cleared out most of your Mira Grant back catalog and I’m so sad to be running out of them! Any recommendations for books that feel similar to your Mira books? Like good medical sci-fi horror type books?
Sadly, I started writing the books I wanted to see but couldn't find, so I don't have a lot of recommendations.
Try The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey, and Fragment, by Warren Fahey.

Oh, I just meant the persistent themes of doors you can’t come back from opening, rather than 1:1 inspiration, but fair enough 😂
I thought I was so smart making the connection, too 🤦🏻♀️😂
Hey Seanan! I’m finally getting around to reading the Parasitology series and the focus on broken doors from the Don’t Go Out Alone book got me thinking… was this early or partial inspiration for the Wayward Children series? 👀
Nope, unless you view Silent Hill as a portal fantasy.

Alright that’s it! It’s December 20th! You have to stop sending emails now! Those are the rules! Emails are toast until January!
If you really need me to do something for you, send a pigeon. I’d be happy to receive a pigeon.

Middlegame is insane because it is first and foremost about two siblings. It’s about a brother and a sister who should have grown up together but didn’t and that is the first tragedy. After there’ll be other pains but the separation is what hurts them so deeply from the start. Sure, they are Language and Math incarnate but that pales in comparison to the fact that they genuinely love each other and that they should have had those years of growing up together. Every scene where they’re actually together is coloured by the what ifs superimposed on their synchrony and fondness for each other. Above the alchemy and the laws of nature and all it’s just platonic love, because Roger and Dodger —rhyming names and all— can’t do this shit without the other. It starts and ends this way: “I can’t do this without you. Don’t die. This is an order. This is a command. This is an adjuration. Do whatever you have to do, break whatever you have to break, but don’t you die.”

You keep posting about the genocide of Palestinians but... so what? What do you want me to do about it? What do you want anyone to do about it? You're not helping, you're not being productive, you're just making people feel bad about something they can't control or effect in any way.
there's an ongoing genocide in gaza but i guess you're the real victim here for having to hear about it
