"Dressing well is resistance, revenge, pride, a form of control over forces that try to control us. That’s why, when taken prisoner, the first thing your enemy takes is that outer layer of your identity and independence: your clothes. That is why prisoners are put in identical uniforms. They no longer exist as individuals."The Last Collection, Jeanne Mackin #fashion #reading #books #GarmentMaking

I've also been tracking my library reads so I can see how much money the library saved me, as well as my regular purchases.

It's an old manuscript I've finally polished and formatted.A Goblin's Plight is a fun romp through the classic tropes of fantasy, with a band of adventurers going on a quest, battling monsters and eradicating evil.My first LitRPG story and series (two more books written).Coming soon!#Reading #Fantasy #LitRPG

@Firlefanz One legitimate use for it that I can see is storytelling and writing practice. It's probably more motivating than comparing adverbs or whatever the cool kids do all day these days. But from there to publishing…

Only bad books are too long. Good ones always end too soon.#book #books #reading #amreading #fantasy #scifi

I feel like I want to read some good ghost stories and/or folk horror. Any recommendations? #tbr #reading

‘One Day All This Will Be Yours’ by Adrian Tchaikovsky is the story about a soldier camped out at the end of time because where better to hunt time travelers.I kept thinking that this novella felt a lot like the type of short story that ends with a punchline, the first chapter where the friendly farmer his time traveling visitors his pet velociraptor totally would have shown up in an EC comic, but it just kept going. There are at least four punchlines, and a lot of dark comedy along the way, yet I can’t remember what it ends on.#Books #Reading #ScienceFiction
