I'm looking for articles, books, essays about self-harm and the recovery from it. I'm not interested in the clinical, sterile medical approach, more personal experience and guidance.

Why are some people so infatuated with Lovecraft? He is probably the most overrated horror writer ever.

He is basically emulating Hindu mythology and name drops 40 000 different gods while building some pseudo-imaginative netherworld where everything boils down to madness and hurr nothing makes sense durr. Pretty much every neckbeards wet dream besides watching anime.

If you dislike negroes you should read The Turner Diaries instead. William Pierce has more depth than Lovecraft in terms of writing stories that aren't masturbatory fever hallucinations.

1. he was one of if not the first to do what he did and record it

2. It is very recontextualizable.

3. It is fun.

he's like one of those musicians who was interesting but where covers of his work are always better.

Feminist wrote a book about boys.

It's pro-pedophilia and also writes about genital mutilation, admires the body of dead boys, lusts after martyrs dying.

In that book she heavily implies that page boys commonly were raped by royalty and clergy (raped by Mistresses too) and that this was a common practice.

>So the problem isn't what we see on the surface such as women falsely accusing men of rape. It is that men are fucking pussies and have allowed the "vibes in the air" or "consensus opinions" to rule the civilization which is the feminine way of government (they are not supposed to govern, only to receive the luxury and benefits, they cannot handle actual power)...

This kind of thinking reinforces lack of female moral accountability
By reducing women to being eternal wards, they will never mature

Happy Anniversary — A Drabble/Short Story The Most Devious 26/05/09(Sat)16:02 No. 19178 [Reply]

File 177833535419.jpg - (1.07MB , 4032x3024 , IMG_1003.jpg )

A massive oak tree stands alone in a vast field that spans as far as the eye can see, its roots spreading out like talons digging into the ground. A single mark of an X lies near its base, cut by a pocket knife or some similar utensil.

“Happy Anniversary, honey. Oh, I know it’s been a long time. There wasn’t much of you for me to visit, and I wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around anyhow.”

“… But I got you some flowers!”

..

The same. Out of the corner of one’s eye, a bustling town can be seen encroaching from the horizon. Some chrysanthemums are seen sprouting along the roots, having crawled away from their original bushel over time.

“Happy Anniversary, honey. The neighbors over there seem to be alright, though you always enjoyed a little solitude. That’s too bad. I wasn’t exactly able to get the closest look at them, but they seem to know what they’re doing.”

.-.. --- ...- .

The city has now wrapped around the oak tree, a circle of standing stones garrisoned around the patch of green that houses the old oak. It looks as if the chrysanthemums had never been there at all.

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

>Curiously—or maybe not—all the old ideologies are conservative because they believe in work.
Daoism doesn't. In Buddhism too, a householder life is pretty much incompatible with enlightenment, and hermits have it best.
But, ultimately, this plane was designed to enable murder and theft and make working necessary. And it belongs to those who crave this kind of existence, and those who reject it are outsiders destined to leave soon.

Any religion is like a fruit tree that always grows some fruit of ideology, at least one.
And Buddhist ideology is like, let us strive to make everyone happy, not in utilitarian style but for real, both in this life and the next.
And Taoist ideology is like, fuck common sense.

What do you think of José Saramago? I read 'The Elephant's Journey' and thought it was good. His style really drew me in and was very clever. Curious to know if anyone has read any of his other works and what they thought of them.

I'm probably about to start writing a thesis on his work in the next few months, I've read most of his work and over the next 9 months, I'll probably have read all of it. I think from that it's pretty obvious what I think of him. What do you wanna know? I'll try to answer as best I can

1. Invincible

Synopsis:
A college freshman suddenly manifests powers on par with Superman—flight, invulnerability, strength beyond measure. Within weeks, fear and paranoia twist him into something far worse than a savior. In a single catastrophic day, he wipes out a third of the world’s population.

As humanity reels, an alien civilization arrives. Not conquerors. Not exterminators. Investors.

Earth, they announce, is now prime real estate—ripe for acquisition and resale on the galactic market.

The young superhuman, drowning in guilt and hunted as the greatest mass murderer in history, is the only being powerful enough to stop them. To save a planet he nearly destroyed, he must confront the terrifying truth:

He may not deserve to be its hero.
