Here's a novel I wrote about ten years ago and haven't published until now. It's kind of dark anime science fiction, with a lot of catgirls, gangsters, sex, drugs, and religion. Please boost it. https://shiningpathbook.com/

So, which one of you is the serval and which one is the bag?

The Devil take the women, for they never can be easy

I found some discussion of my book on Tumblr, where one commentator complains that "much about the setting is never satisfactorily explained, such as how a 3d human penis is supposed to go into a 2d plastic catgirl".

It's true. I did not write an interdimensional catgirl sex manual. Sorry.

Make no mistake, any expansion of the social safety net that we get out of this mess will be temporary, but any expansion of surveillance and police powers will be permanent.

I wish https://shiningpathbook.com/ would "go viral" instead of this. I mean, I chose to post it, I understood what I was in for, but I anticipate a lot of grief from posting it and I don't really know if it'll be worth it.

So you say you "cannot" boost important information because your local instance demands the proper ritual words in all such information and others don't obey.

Why do you demand everybody else on the network change their behaviour to address this, instead of the management of your local instance who created the problem changing their local policy?

Because you're a sanctimonious prick. No matter what emergency you can't give up your need to impose speech rules on the whole world. Fuck you.

One reason I decided to put the manuscript of Shining Path online at this time, after keeping it on the shelf for a number of years, is that it's got this in it - a message I think people need to hear right now. https://shiningpathbook.com/

"It matters to this one."

this is probably a deadly sin to ramen purists, but I like to just cut a few strips of bacon into pieces and throw those in instead of doing the proper barbecue pork thing

Wray and Nephew white overproof Jamaican rum. I wanted to try this after watching the "How To Drink" episode reviewing different rums, which describes it as tasting like the smell of a pile of rotting bananas, but "in a good way." And I think that's accurate. It's quite good rum&cola, and I have high hopes for the other things I plan to do with it. However, overproof is no joke. One shot of that stuff is going to be enough alcohol for me for this whole evening.
