I write, I stress over words, I write some more. I love terrible puns, cats, archaeology, folklore, and dinosaurs. I fan over Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who, good horror, good fantasy, and good villains.

Always love how much folklore especially creature folklore emphasizes that there is a way for you to win. These are the steps to ensure the dead don't rise: take them out through a hole in the wall and give them iron shoes. Vampires cannot abide sunlight. If you hear a dog howl on a churchyard path turn around and get home as fast as you can. Iron and salt and the colour red. None of this doomed idea, the world is incomprehensible but if you're a bit clever you'll survive it just fine, there's always ways out.

Fatness and Intersectionality Books
list by: Pratt Institute Library's
Thickening Fat by May Friedman (Editor); Carla Rice (Editor); Jen Rinaldi (Editor) ISBN: 9780429507540 Publication Date: 2019-08-30 Moving beyond an analysis of fat oppression as singular, this book aims to unpack the volatility of fat—the mutability of fat embodiments as they correlate with other embodied subjectivities, and the threshold where fat begins to be reviled, celebrated, or amended.
Belly of the Beast by Da'Shaun L. Harrison; Kiese Laymon (Foreword by) ISBN: 9781623175979 Publication Date: 2021-08-10 Taking on desirability politics, the limitations of gender, the connection between anti-fatness and carcerality, and the incongruity of “health” and “healthiness” for the Black fat, Harrison viscerally and vividly illustrates the myriad harms of anti-fat anti-Blackness. They offer strategies for dismantling denial, unlearning the cultural programming that tells us “fat is bad,” and destroying the world as we know it, so the Black fat can inhabit a place not built on their subjugation.
Queering Fat Embodiment by Samantha Murray; Cat Pause; Jackie Wykes ISBN: 9781409465430 Publication Date: 2014-05-09 Shedding light on the ways in which fat embodiment is lived, experienced, regulated and (re)produced across a range of cultural sites and contexts, Queering Fat Embodiment destabilizes established ideas about fat bodies, making explicit the intersectionality of fat identities and thereby countering the assertion that fat studies has in recent years reproduced a white, ableist, heteronormative subjectivity in its analyses.
The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies by Amy Farrell (editor) ISBN: 9780367691660 Publication Date: 2023 The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies is a key reference work in contemporary scholarship situated at the intersection between Gender and Fat Studies, charting the connections and tensions between these two fields.
Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsISBN: 9781479886753 Publication Date: 2019-05-07 There is an obesity epidemic in this country and poor black women are particularly stigmatized as "diseased" and a burden on the public health care system. This is only the most recent incarnation of the fear of fat black women, which Sabrina Strings shows took root more than two hundred years ago. Fearing the Black Body argues convincingly that fat phobia isn't about health at all, but rather a means of using the body to validate race, class, and gender prejudice.
Fat Gay Men by Jason WhiteselISBN: 9780814723906 Publication Date: 2014-01-01 Based on ethnographic interviews and in-depth field notes from more than 100 events, Fat Gay Men explores the woundedness that comes from being relegated to an inferior position in gay hierarchies, and yet celebrates how some gay men can reposition the shame of fat stigma through carnival, camp, and play.
Neoliberal Bodies and the Gendered Fat Body by Hannele Harjunen ISBN: 9781317130420 Publication Date: 2016-08-25 Neoliberal bodies and the gendered fat body explores the relationships between fatness, health, and neoliberal discourse and the role of economic policy in the construction of the (gendered) fat body, and examines how neoliberal discourses join patriarchal and biomedical constructions of the fat female body.

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!
15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.
Incredible!
