Reblog This To Let A Curious Kitten Explore Your Dash

no storys are about anything btw. you cant expect someone who makes up fake people to tell you anyything about real life. kurt vonnegut? cormac mccarthy? ursula k le guin? those were just some fucked up people who had psychic links to alternate worlds. you can go to those worlds if you take my hand but you probably dont want to. just goes to show i guess

tundras are soooo pretty aand beautiful to look at smears of best ever colors on flat and muted greens and yellows.... hard agree with los campesinos like yes take a body to tundra for real......

if there's one thing ive learned from my math education it's the ability to judge a textbook by it's cover:

fancy cover with actual picture, fewer than 15 years old, $300: absolute dogshit. time wasting exercises, poor exposition, that weird gloss they put on the pages probably makes it too toxic to use as kindling

title is just name of subject, referred to by author, 50 years old with like 3 editions: excellent. compact proofs, exercises good enough people refer to them by number in conversation. available for free by foraging somewhere they grow naturally

title is some shit like paul's notes, "cover" is just default latex titlepage, distributed as pdf to grad classes or by advisor: best coverage of whatever (usually niche) topic it's about in the world. crystal clear exposition. solutions to exercises available by emailing grad students working under author

Simone Weil, from The Iliad, or The Poem Of Force

from impossible to difficult to unfamiliar to familiar to easy to automatic

you can find some of Yefremov's sci-fi in English - at least Andromeda. there is also a fan translation of The Bull's Hour by what looks to me like some sort of esoteric red-brown cult, which means it probably sucks

Are there any actual communist fiction writers from the Soviet Union whose works are accessible in English today?

hey don’t cry. the Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite ok?
