“I laugh along, but inside I know that it's true: Being in love is totally punk rock. Quiet kisses are so hardcore.”

🔹 La troga - Rugarli
🔹 Le venti giorante di Torino - De Maria (un bel horror, molto ansiolitico)
🔹 Rabbits - Terry Miles (molto particolare; non mi è piaciuto moltissimo, ma mi ha dato certi incubi D:)
🔹 Trilogia della città di K. - Agota Kristof
🔹 L'etá inquieta - Starobinec (super weird, bellissimo!)

"I tell him that a virus need not do harm. That not all self-propagating code is malicious. Our father's virus would never delete files. Would never steal passwords or spy on the intimate moments of strangers. Would not spread like cancer, but like a story. Would slip through fibre optic cables to cross oceans, would pass like radio waves through the walls of houses that nobody even knows are haunted. A ghost story that computers tell one another in the dark."
—from Malagash, by Joey Comeau

I remembered Lockpick Pornography by Joey Comeau today and went to search for it, still available for free and an excellent read.

I wish being in love was enough. I wish it counted for anything at all.

Was scrolling through your theme “of course we will hurt each other” and was wondering if you have/might make a post something like “love is still here and will be here probably forever but I have to leave for my own good” if it makes sense

SET FIFTEEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE
"i've wasted a lifetime pretending to be me" (2013 - Emily Horne and Joey Comeau) / "da oracle" (2020 - Anatola Howard (maroonracoon))
I'VE WASTED A LIFETIME PRETENDING TO BE ME: a softer world is one of those things that i felt like i was seeing imitators around every corner for years. what are we in the dark? maybe we're a christmas tree glowing softly. maybe not. (@kaerran)
DA ORACLE: this comic by maroonracoon messes me up but in such a pleasant way. i think this comic speaks for itself. i have my atoms reworked and reconfigured every time i see this comic. (@godsbride)
("i've wasted a lifetime pretending to be me" is comic #1010 of the webcomic a softer world by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau. It ran from 2003 to 2015.
"da oracle" is a comic by Anatola Howard (maroonracoon on twitter) and the artist's self-proclaimed favourite.)
