    you lot are completely thick

    Verbal sparring, as described upthread, is also pretty homosexual. Ooh, get her, etc.

    you lot are completely thick

    Who was the most heterosexual mathematician? I'm guessing Galois, who actually managed to get himself killed in a duel over a woman. Then again, duelling is pretty homosexual, so who's to say.

    Everyone else's less wonderful poetry thread

    Make it a snow-globe, shakeable from stasis into a gelid flurry settling on alpine starkness, moulded plastic firs deep-set in dandruff, pert within their sphere. Wobble detection trips a jingle, one of those old-time tunes you’re just supposed to know - The Cuckoo Waltz, for sake of argument...

    Everyone else's less wonderful poetry thread

    Grateful for this autumn rain, suffusing dampness, the season's gathering itself lately in; wet grass unmowed, tufting around a plastic children's slide, a garish rocker. I put the bins out last thing before bed. Nature gets on with things, its secret ministries as Coleridge said a slow work of...

    Magick!

    Grim (I mean serious content warning-level grim) in places, but well worth your time is Emma Seaber's thesis on anorexic life-writing as occult practice - tl;dr how do you externalise and manage chaotic and "ugly" (socially unavowable) emotional and physical extremity? How can writing itself...

    RISE by EXTREME

    Never liked the band particularly, but Nuno is widely acknowledged as a Top Stunt Guitarist and that commands my admiration. The same is true of Van Halen really - I watched a live show of theirs on VHS some time in the late 80s and was completely wowed, but never got into the music as such to...

    prynne, leary & thinking in stages

    I did not know of the existence of the Prynne Oliver letters. Douglas Oliver doesn’t get talked about so much at the moment but he’s an unusual figure, less fractally oblique than Prynne but often surprising.
