Just A Basic Bish

I think the future of zombie fiction is covid allegories.

Gone are the days of shooting zombies in the street. Now are the days of your employer making you come in while you still have occasional fits of arm biting.

Gently pushing your zombie coworker into the supply closet with a broom, teens doing school from home and watching their next door neighbor undead stumbling around in his back garden, the delivery guy going zombie in your front yard.

One of the things I love about Buffy is that it presents knowledge and research as an absolutely vital part of the process of world saveage. So much of the show is dedicated to the characters sitting around doing research. And that’s pretty rare. Usually if research is a plot device in these kind of shows, it happens off screen. Which does kind of make sense on a storytelling level - it’s not usually that interesting to watch people look stuff up. But I really like that BtVS finds a way to make it interesting, not only because it leads to a lot of great group scenes, but also because it foregrounds the value of educating oneself about something before engaging with it. Which, you know, is an excellent value to foreground.

everyday it blows my mind that landlords get mad at home improvements … things that literally make the place more livable. they really want their tenants living like rats in a shoebox.

landlords will be like “what the fuck you redid the caulking on the bathtub so it stops leaking?????? even though you asked me to get someone to do it for years and i never did??? this is gross misconduct and violates our rent agreement”

my hatred for jk rowling grows stronger every day
