#The Echo of Old Books

[bookwormbeat]

Women aren’t usually consulted on wars. We send our husbands and brothers and sweethearts to do the dying, hold the pieces together while they’re gone, then pick up what’s left when they come home—if they come home—but we’re seldom asked what we think.

But there was sadness, too, in the spaces between, woven through the ellipses, the desolation of a question unanswered.

Star Wars Chat Pack: What if you had psychometry?

Welcome to Day 23 of my NaBloPoMo Challenge, in which I randomly pick a card from the Star Wars Chat Pack. Today’s question is: Some Jedi can sense the history of an object when they touch it. If you had this ability, what item would you want to pick up and learn about? I think this Force ability–called psychometry–is quite interesting, and seems rare. Jedi like Quinlan Vos and Cal Kestis have…

August Reads

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I ran up against the limitations of my body this August and so the months reviews are a little late (although I’ve back dated the post so it is in the correct order on my blog) and I didn’t read anywhere near as much as I did in July because I have been trying to properly rest when I can rather than “rest” by crocheting and reading at the same time. Of the six,…

[ID: A digital portrait of Jainan and Kiem. Jainan leans back against Kiem, who has a hand in his hair. Jainan has a hand raised in a gesture of explanation, and his expression is one of rapturous delight. Kiem looks down at him adoringly. Jainan is wearing sweeping Thean formals, his long hair held back by a wooden gender marker ornament. Kiem is wearing Iskat formals with a Thean cape. He has a wooden earring gender marker. Around them is a glowing frame. End ID]

#t*rfs can be so willingly obtuse how is it possible to be so stupid #this take was framed in a serious way w tons of reposts but essentially said #if ppl claim gender n sex are different and tht ppl are discriminated against bc of their gender and not their sex but also claim that #gender can be chosen…. then they’re implying women’s suffering is self inflicted 🤔🤯🤬 #it’s like. #as is often w t*rf propaganda: nobody is saying this. #and they don’t see how this line of thinking is something they’ve misinterpreted and formed for themselves #they just feel threatened about a reality that isn’t the case #this is what happens when you live in an echo chamber and scream lalalala when anyone without a transphobic agenda is talking about gender #this is what happens when you invent and assume what trans positive(or even neutral) leftists and academics have been delineating in the #decades long discussion of sex v gender Already #because of course they’re not going to read all that and engage in the discursive process #on a more petty note ​this is what happens when you don’t read books nor have friends #like this isn’t set in their ways conservative jk r*wling stans this is 16-22 year olds beginning their journey into political thought #depressing lol! #saw this under ppl getting mad about the talks of a Carrie reboot with hunter sch*fer as the leas #lead* #which i’ll admit is lab designed to make t*rfs mad lmao #but in their fury it got them saying shit like there’s underrepresentation of cis women in media #inane

on one hand its cool that now the fandom recognizes that the bramble/squirrel conflict wasnt them bickering and was literally power plays and abuse on brambles part, on the other its so sad that it took a popular youtuber making a vid on it to make ppl think bc for a while i had to see takes abt how bitchy and abusive squirrelflight was for asking bramblestar if they wanna have more kids

#not like ‘’ill leave if you dont give me a baby’’ just ‘’hey im old i wanna have another litter soon? no? ah ok’’ #and then he treats her like shit over it the whole book #and somehow the fanbase took it as ‘’doesnt she know bramble HAS children that he LOVES????? this means she doesnt think hes a legit dad!! #somehow!!!’’ #and then they have the gall to say she can’t communicate when she DID and he took it personally for no reason #also characters who are just as if not more abusive than him are still portrayed as if theyre funny himbos #and all the girls they hurt are harpies who wont leave them alone #echoed voice

Entertainment Update For August

Hello friends! I’ve been busy with reading, as usual, and looking forward to a few upcoming shows. Here’s the deets: Rise of the Red Blade. This is the latest Star Wars canon novel, by Delilah S. Dawson, and it is a great read. It chronicles Jedi Padawan Iskat Akaris during her time at the Jedi Temple, and the events that influenced her turn to the dark side and led to her becoming an…

hello this is your book speaking. for your question: basically kafka died before the completion of the manuscript of the trial (& consequentelly there are a handful of unfinished chapters that don't fit in the novel as such) and the order of the existing chapters was determined by his friend/executor max brod (again kafka's wishes as you know). as far as i'm aware there are no major deviations from the 1925 publication order - some editions include the incomplete chapters at the end with indication as to where they could be placed, which should be the only major difference unless the publisher of your ebook took some creative liberties (which could be interesting in my opinion!). for further information i really recommend starting with the foreword of the 1998 english edition, translated by breon mitchell whose introduction is also worth reading (available by asking me for the file). enjoy xx

hello The Trial, it is an honour 🙏 yes i would love to read the foreword/introduction!

so, speaking of creative liberties. german publishers seem to have occasionally strayed a bit further away from the brod version (which, btw, is indeed the version of my archive dot org ebook). there's an indie press version that extremely confidently proposes a different chapter order and thematic interpretation (and whose author also doesn't seem to have shied away from promoting his work on wikipedia. i have some doubts as to whether this book shook the kafka world quite as much as the author promises). there's also a "historical-critical edition" that contains copies of kafka's notes and transcribes everything (including deletions) and makes no claims whatsoever regarding the chapter order (every chapter is its own booklet). curiously enough, the audio book version that i found is based on that latter version -- listeners are encouraged to pick their own chapter order, with no guide given although they had to decide on a linear version for the radio broadcast (the order of the files listed on the website -- which may or may not be the radio order -- is a bit different from brod's version). it also contains the deletions/notes/etc and tries to convey this amalgamation through frequent narrator changes and strange audio effects (it sounds like they made one of the narrators sit in another room while recording). great for fans of disorienting media. anyway here's three reviews: x x x

#not to revive our old house of leaves audio drama adaptation discussion. but. this could be relevant #anyway. the audio book comes with an interview with the director but unfortunately no guide. mr buhlert what does it mean when the narrator #suddenly changes or when there's a weird echo. is this based on vibes or on anything in the actual manuscript of the trial #my earbuds don't work properly and it's sometimes a little hard to tell whether a weird effect was part of the audio drama or if it was jus #just the hardware adding an additional layer of distortion (: #replies #thetrial #also i checked the writing/publication dates again and i suppose it would be fairer to say that torquemada the trialled cain's jawbone #der process

The thing that absolutely delights me about Winter's Orbit is, because it was originally published as an original work on ao3, there is fic from years before the book actually came out. GOOD fic. The blessing a five year old fandom for a year old book.

#Winter's Orbit #everina maxwell #Yes I am going through all that old fic while I wait for my hold on Ocean's Echo to come in at the library #Honestly if it doesn't come in by late December I might just buy both books for myself for winter holiday #But fic can keep me patient for now
