Love the Craft

Posted on July 27, 2025 by Nathan

The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, edited by S.T. Joshi – I’d read a little bit of Lovecraft before. There’s definitely something about his weird style that I find appealing, but his writing is also kind of dense. A recurring theme is … Continue reading →

Women in the Pictures

Posted on July 24, 2025 by Nathan

I had an idea of writing about pictures I’ve seen misidentified online, and I’m going to do that, but also go off on some tangents. To begin with, this was a meme I saw online. It’s a sentiment I agree … Continue reading →

Please Bury Me in Eddington

Two very different movies this time, SPOILERS for both. Chompy & the Girls – Beth found this movie on the same list of films with stupid names that were actually pretty good as Terror at Blood Fart Lake. This one was … Continue reading →

Identifying Impurities

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Nathan

I was thinking recently about how bizarre the view on sex is in some religious communities. When I saw John Waters, he made a joke about how asexuals are just Catholics. It was funny, but from what I’ve gathered, asexuals … Continue reading →

A Floating Island Was His Home

Posted on July 1, 2025 by Nathan
