God I’m still so fuckinf salty over Neil Gaiman being an absolute perverted fuckstick. But damn his short stories really informed my personality.
One of my favourites is called Changes, about a man who develops a pill that can just cure cancer. The side effect is it changes the person sex overnight. The short story explores how people start to use it recreationally, discrimination that arises from its use, and how society evolves over the inventors life to incorporate this new way of existing. It’s so well written, and I think about it often.
There’s so many of his short stories I adore. Why’d he have to go and be such a fucking freak?
I still won’t throw them out though, they informed too much of my childhood and I’m too sentimental.

maybe the ability to question our social norms in radical ways comes from the same place where his empathy should be
tho he has a close relationship with his partner and they do evil stuff together, maybe some of the ideas are hers

I wouldn’t be surprised, I haven’t really ever liked her tbh. She comes across as a little sadist imo

Right?! Absolutely fuck him. And her, for knowing and still sending girls to him. It absolutely pisses me off. He was so revered and his work is amazing. I’m down with separating the art from the artist for work you grew up and loved, keeping them, but I sure as shit wouldn’t spend any $ on his works now.

Yep! Amanda Palmer is NOT a girl’s girl. She’s a trafficker like Maxwell, as far as I care. Never liked her music anyway 😂

Burnt out today. Too much stuff happening the last week or so.
Having a chill the fuck out at home day.

I think you deserve a good chill out day. I’m sure Gibson will like having you around to hang out with too.

I’m very glad to have an indoor day planned today. Grocery delivery is being dropped off this morning, so I’ll be doing some packing of things for the freezer and making another batch of breakfast muffins.
The top temp here (Ballarat) is only expected to be 10 degrees. The whole week ahead looks pretty miserable - the highest expected temp is 13 on Friday, and tomorrow is only expected to get to 9. Plus rain and possible hail.

I’ll be in the Rat for a wedding in a couple of weeks, not looking forward to how bloody cold it’ll be.
Enjoy your baking sesh!
