Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear

Today's sapphic book of the day is Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear!

Summary: "'You ain't gonna like what I have to tell you, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. See, my name is Karen Memery, like memory only spelt with an e, and I'm one of the girls what works in the Hôtel Mon Cherie on Amity Street. Hôtel has a little hat over the o like that. It's French, so Beatrice tells me.'

Set in the late 19th century—when the city we now call Seattle Underground was the whole town (and still on the surface), when airships plied the trade routes, would-be gold miners were heading to the gold fields of Alaska, and steam-powered mechanicals stalked the waterfront, Karen is a young woman on her own, is making the best of her orphaned state by working in Madame Damnable's high-quality bordello. Through Karen's eyes we get to know the other girls in the house—a resourceful group—and the poor and the powerful of the town. Trouble erupts one night when a badly injured girl arrives at their door, begging sanctuary, followed by the man who holds her indenture, and who has a machine that can take over anyone's mind and control their actions. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the next night brings a body dumped in their rubbish heap—a streetwalker who has been brutally murdered.

Bear brings alive this Jack-the-Ripper yarn of the old west with a light touch in Karen's own memorable voice, and a mesmerizing evocation of classic steam-powered science."

Rereading Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear

It's not The Locked Tomb.... but it understands that sometimes a reader wants a big queer adventure with a teenage girl narrator who is clearly trying her best and and is funny and informal in a strange world with crazy astetic and a cast of BAMF

It's been 2 years since I've seen this and today I'm returning back to my comfort superhero series or maybe I have to clarify that (daredevil) is one of the greatest superhero show in that Marvel had ever created... And today Iam here beginning the journey again tbh the aesthetics of this show are out of the world .. and I really miss this trio ..

Thankyou

And human beings cleave to the existing state of things. All their lives they are striving to hold the moment fast….Their art itself is nothing but the attempt to catch by all means the one particular moment, one light, the momentary beauty of one woman or one flower, and make it everlasting.

― Karen Blixen, Seven Gothic Tales (Vintage, April 13, 2011) (via Wait! What?)

#dartain is just a good lil fella who had his memories wiped so he is really naive #because like no one has ever dont anything wrong to him ever (that he can remember) so everyone is a friend #milo and eli are twins and they hate each other but also work together #they are bodyguards protecting the same guy #anemone my beloved is from CHESS BABIES and is just super kind and super weird #paul and karen are coworkers and i know you have seen them a lot so yeah #he said something to her idk probably about being the spiders georg of karens and should not be counted #and shes like why do i trust you with my actual life again

for people to say that young Jewish people breaking down out of fear (even fear that's not justified) is the same thing as white tears is despicable. did you all fucking forget about the Holocaust? why do you think a young Jewish person who's been told Zionism is the answer to antisemitism their whole life and that Hamas wants to kill them might react with fear? just use your fucking brains for One Singular Minute.

the answer to Zionism in Jewish communities is not the same as the answer to racism. telling Jewish Zionist people, who have been raised around people who suffered a genocide, who have this severe intergenerational trauma within living memory, that they are the same as a random white Christian American when they have a trauma response to something they've been told is an existential threat is not fucking helpful. in fact, it's only going to cement their Zionism.

do you actually want to eradicate Zionism in Jewish communities? start by acknowledging that antisemitism is real, still happening, and deadly. until you can do that, most Jewish Zionists are not going to be receptive to you. if you can't do that, I suggest leaving that work to Jewish antizionists and devoting your energy to political actions that will help Palestine, like calling your reps, protesting, and continuing to raise awareness about the situation on the ground there.

#it's the most callous shit to see stitches of that Jewish girl in a breakdown calling it white tears #and the tears of someone who isn't genuine/doesn’t experience oppression #why do you think someone whose community has still not recovered from a genocide within living memory might react that way to something they #see as an existential threat?? #yes they are wrong. palestinian liberation is not a threat to Jewish communities #but you're seriously going to watch a Jewish person sobbing about their fear of a genocide #and say that that's the same as random karens crying after being called racist? fucking seriously?? #it's pure antisemitism #and it's completely counterintuitive to breaking down the hold Zionism has on our communities #tzipi talks

cannot believe that in 2007 the eighth doctor adventures writers just decided to put toxic yuri in their show. they did that for me

#not me going insane over 2 minor recurring villains #but literally what the fuck is going on with the headhunter and karen #what if an amoral assassin and a normal office worker decided to become partners on a whim & now they time travel and commit crimes together #like what????? #the headhunter could not give less of a shit about other people and doesn't think karen is useful at all and yet just keeps her around #and karen's like yeah she hates my guts and also she makes me kill people. it's a laugh though can't complain #and i'm just meant to be normal about that?????? huh??????? #also the way they both just flirt with lucie every time they see her is so funny #karen's like hey babe!!!! how are you!!!! do you want to join us!!!! while holding a knife to lucie's neck shdjshs #while the headhunter's like ah lucie miller the thorn in my side [saves her life] this means nothing [saves her life] you disgust me [saves- #doctor who #big finish #i've finished s3!!!! whoop!!!! #my thoughts are why does lucie miller keep getting turned evil and can it keep happening bc it's hot. who said that #my only issue with this format is that it's very adventure based. which yeah it's called the 8th doctor adventures #but i wish there was more breathing room for lucie. the doctor keeps being all sad (fair his life is awful) but lucie's going Through It #and never gets a chance to really process anything #also the retroactive continuity errors make me laugh #'i'm 900 years old' no the fuck you're not! you still have the time war yet buddy! #i like to think they're just signs of 8's swiss cheese memory #i hope there's books set in this era. i'm sure nobody will be able to tell me bc they gave up 20 tags ago agdkhsjshsjs

Actually ted is blonde in tfs because it was a body snatch situation re s3 billy but with edward shenanigans i csnt explain how or why excecpt that it would make tedkaren insane. I have not watched tfs. You agree.

#anyways karens hs bf got body snatched and even after everyones memories got fucked she ended up marrying thr guy who snatched #her bfs body pretending 2 be him. isnt that batshit insane. wouldnt that be more horrifying than any of the horrors..... #misc

Finally got a design for Shiversverse Karen "Doomed By The Narrative" Keeny

#i know year one had jonathan look more like his father but consider this #jonathan crane being haunted by his resemblance to his mother no matter how hard he tries to erase her memory #ngl I feel really bad about how awful her life is in the Headverse #teen mother abandoned by the father of her child has her son taken away from her at birth and told he died #finally gets a second chance at raising a kid later in life only to be murdered on mother's day and once again has her child taken away #shiversverse #jonathan crane #karen keeny #my art
