BUFFY: Kathy's evil. I'm an evil fighter. It's simple... I'm gonna have to kill her.
WILLOW: You have to kill her? Don't you think you could just switch rooms, or something?
BUFFY: Well I would, but it's not just me in danger from Kathy. Look.
WILLOW: Toenails?
BUFFY: Evil toenails. I took them off the floor last night when she was in the bathroom. She thought I was asleep.
WILLOW: Good thinking, 'cause in the middle of the night those toenails could have attacked you and left little half-moon marks all over your body.
BUFFY: Don't be ridiculous. The point is I measured them before I fell asleep and again this morning, and they grew. After they were cut! That's a demon thing, she has to be eliminated.

Sanders' young ladies' reader
Aug. 9th, 2025 02:21 pmmarycatelli posting in booksSanders' young ladies' reader : embracing a comprehensive course of instruction in the principles of rhetorical reading : with a choice collection of exercises in reading, both in prose and poetry, for the use of the higher female seminaries, as also, the higher classes in female schools generally by Charles W. Sanders
A selection of prose and poetry intended for elocution classes. Interesting, nowadays, chiefly for the selections choosing. With an eye to variety, the preface assures us, because they are intended for the young.
This one is, unlike the fourth and fifth readers, aimed specifically at girls. Which means a couple on the education of women and the necessity of its being for their whole lives, and not the flurry of society to win their husbands, and more female characters in the stories. It has a couple of selections that overlap with those readers.

Recent Reading: Annihilation
Aug. 8th, 2025 06:33 pmrocky41_7 posting in booksToday I wrapped up Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, a horror/sci-fi novel with fantastical (?) elements about a biologist exploring a very unsettling landscape.
There are no names given in this book—the narrator and protagonist is simply "the Biologist," and she refers to her other three teammates by their job titles as well. Locations outside of the place they're exploring—Area X—are not given either, but the world is implied to be much the same as our own, with Area X a troubling and relatively recent anomaly. A private company hires the Biologist and her colleagues to venture into this strange place and take notes. They are the 12th such expedition.
I appreciate that much of the horror in Annihilation isn't in-your-face: it's the slow build of things that are just off. This quiet and subtle approach means that when something extreme happens, it feels extreme. The Biologist and her colleagues know that Area X is dangerous before they venture in, but even so, they are unprepared for how and to what degree. VanderMeer's portrayal of how trust frays among relative strangers under these conditions felt realistic.

[#270 | Pride] Challenge Post
Aug. 6th, 2025 10:40 pmfanweeklymod posting in fandomweekly| Challenge 270: PRIDE |
...goes before a fall? Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence. Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise? Write a story about pride. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, August 11 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 270 – pride • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
Recent Reading: The Dispossessed
Aug. 6th, 2025 05:06 pmrocky41_7 posting in books"There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, the idea of a boundary. But the idea was real. It was important. For seven generations there had been nothing more important than that wall."
I knew this book was going to hit hard from the opening paragraph above, and it did not disappoint. I've enjoyed Ursula Le Guin's work before--The Left Hand of Darkness is one of my favorite books—and I absolutely see why The Dispossessed is considered one of her crowning pieces. The setting for this book is a planet and its moon—Urras, the planet, is a lush world not dissimilar from Earth, which is home to several capitalist countries and at least one socialist country; and Anarres, the moon, which is a dusty, resource-scanty place home to a society of anarchists who fled from Urras just under two hundred years ago. The core of the novel concerns Shevek, a theoretical physicist from Anarres who chooses to relocate to Urras.

Le Guin captures truly great sci-fi because this work is so imbued with curiosity. Le Guin is asking questions at the heart of any great sci-fi work: What defines humanity? What can we achieve, and how is it done, and what does that mean for society? What is society? What does it mean to be alone? What does it mean to be part of a whole? To me, sci-fi can't be truly sci-fi without a measure of philosophy, and The Dispossessed has this in droves.

Willow: By the way, are we hoping to find a body, or no body?
Xander: Call me an optimist, but I'm hoping to find a fortune in gold doubloons.
Giles: Um, body would mean flesh-eating demon, no body would point towards the, uh, army of zombies thing. Take your pick, really. Right, then, uh... Go on.
Xander: You're closer.
Buffy: Pathetic much? Move over.
