Any recommendations for fucked up stories?

it depends on what kind of fucked up you mean! i haven’t read as much this year as i would like, but some authors/books that come to mind—

t. kingfisher has been a fave for horror of late…

leech by hiron ennes was also Extremely fun! i read it earlier this year, and imo it’s the most fun if you go into it not knowing anything about it, aside from the fact that it’s a somewhat sci-fi gothic horror novel.

house of hunger by alexis henderson is another gothic horror novel that i found pretty fun! it veers more fantasy than sci-fi imo? it could kind of be classified as a romance, in some ways, but uh. i would not personally label it as such. (i do wish the end had been different, but that’s just a personal taste thing! it was not an unenjoyable read or anything.)

THE LUMINOUS DEAD BY CAITLIN STARLING. VERY INTENSELY CREEPY BOOK. WOULD RECOMMEND IT IF YOU LIKE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR AND UNRELIABLE NARRATORS AND UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS BROUGHT IN BY HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE. AND IF YOU LIKE WOMEN WHO ARE SO FUCKED UP.

a darker shade of magic is a series i really desperately need to reread. it’s not a horror series but there is some pretty fucked up shit in it, and i enjoy v. e. schwab’s writing a lot…

i fucking. need to finish sister, maiden, monster by lucy a. snyder. it is eldrich and strange and horrifying and queer and i should read the rest of it, but just from the first part alone i think it deserves to be on this list.

edit: NINTH HOUSE BY LEIGH BARDUGO. I GOTTA REREAD IT AND READ THE SECOND BOOK.

i could definitely list more, and also none of these veer too heavily into like. erotica? if that is what you are looking for, kushiel’s dart by jacqueline carey is enjoyable, as is the sleeping beauty series by a. n. roquelaure*, and then for something even more graphically pornographic, various titles by daniel may are very fun… princess has forcefemming and crazy levels of coersive dubcon/noncon, and his “taste of ink” series is pretty fantastic if you like very poor decisions (cheating) that resolve into surprisingly healthy polyamory**. (he’s also got a lot of other books out, and i should really read more of them! it’s been a while since i last something he released.)

(*pen-name of anne rice.)

(**this is not what would happen in reality, but the mc is such an endearing idiot who only thinks with his dick that it turns out okay. i love him. i love all three of them, honestly. i should reread this series soon…)

Nolan's little hand was in your hand while Chris held Nora's. You four were on your way to to get Nolan and Nora a haircut which they very much needed. You and Chris were really bad at hair cutting, it was never both your greatest moment, so it was only smart to go to the haircutters for this one so you didn't mess this up.

Stopping at the door, you opened it letting nolan and Nora walking in first before you did. Chris was right behind you.

"mommy, we get a haircut now?" Nora asked turning to you and Chris. You softly nodded, "yes."

Nora eyes widened In happiness, she has always been excited to get a haircut ever since she was 2. It was weird in a way but it made the process easy for the hairstylist. Nolan on the other hand was the opposite. He hated haircuts; lots of crying and whining until it was over. He was only 2 so it was very understandable.

"you go with me Nora and nolan will go with mommy." Chris said taking her hand with a smile. Nora nodded, muttering okay before happily going with Chris.

You looked down at Nolan, "you ready buddy?" Nolan looked up at you, fear in those little eyes. "No." He whined before hidding behind your legs. Nolan peeped over your legs looking at the barber; he was genuinely terrified.

You took his little arm, pulling him from behind you. "It's okay. Mommy's here." You picked him up and sat down in the chair with him on your lap.

For the first few minutes, nolan cooperated, but after a while he stared have a fit. He wasn't a fan of sitting in the same spot for so long, it showed too.

He whined, starting to wiggle in your grip. "No." He mumbled pushing away the barbers hand. You quickly lowered it, "hey, it's okay."

You placed his hands in his lap before talking to him. "You're not a fan of haircuts are you bub?"

You looked at Nolan through the mirror seeing his death stare; deep frown, eyebrows just like a V. He was seriously not a fan at all.

You snickered holding in your laugh. "Do you want to get ice cream after?" You asked. Nolan turned to you, he was no longer angry. "Ice scream?" He said sweetly. Laughing, you nodded, "yes, ice cream."

Nolan clapped his hands together. "Otay."

Throughout the rest of the haircut Nolan stayed nice and quiet. The trick to keep him quiet was mentioning ice cream, you were going to remember that one.

When it was over, you took nolan off your lap. He waved goodbye to the barber before taking your hand. The both of you walked over to Chris and Nora who were also done.

"should we go now?" You asked looking between Nora and Chris. Nora smiled, "yes, let's get goldfish."

"no, Ice scream." Nolan said in defense as you walked out of the building. Nora eyebrows knitted together before her eyes widen. "Goldfish ice cream."

Nolan squealed. "Ok, goldfish ice scream." You and Chris shook your heads, grinning at them as you walked behind them a few steps.

Goldfish Ice cream after a haircut sounds lovely.

The Supreme Court just wrapped up its first full term with two of Trump’s nominees on the bench. But the court’s much-anticipated conservative revolution didn’t really happen this year. To be sure, the last few weeks of the term were full of consequential decisions that hinged on just one vote. But even though there were some fierce disagreements among the justices, the court’s final rulings were actually not very controversial at all — at least from the perspective of most Americans.

According to a recent survey by a group of researchers at Stanford, Harvard and the University of Texas, Austin, which asked Americans about central issues facing the court, the justices’ rulings were in line with public opinion in 8 out of 10 major cases.1

There were just two exceptions. One was in a case that questioned the constitutionality of the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; the Supreme Court ruled, contrary to a majority of Americans’ views, that the director of the CFPB was too insulated from executive branch oversight. The second was in one of the two rulings involving subpoenas seeking President Trump’s financial records. A majority of Americans said that the president should not be able to stop his financial documents from being turned over to Congress, but the Supreme Court stopped short of fully siding with the public. They didn’t entirely rule out Congress’s ability to subpoena these documents, but they did suggest there are serious limits on what Congress can demand from the president — suggesting he could block people from turning them over in some instances — and punted it back to the lower courts.

Maya Sen, a political science professor at Harvard University who helped develop the survey, said she was a little surprised to see that Americans leaned to the left on so many of the cases. “It seemed to set the stage for some potential dissonance between public opinion and how the court’s conservative majority might rule,” she said. And it certainly wasn’t hard to imagine that this term’s Supreme Court decisions would cut against the prevailing public view on issues like abortion or gay rights.

But that’s not what happened. So what does it mean that so many of the court’s high-profile rulings were also pretty mainstream? The justices are notoriously tight-lipped about how their decisions are made (and they probably aren’t using this or any other poll to guide their decisions), but several of the experts I talked with saw this term as evidence that the Supreme Court isn’t immune to the winds of public opinion — particularly in an election year when the possibility of court-packing and term limits for judges came up more than once.

For one thing, there’s evidence that it’s pretty rare for the Supreme Court to lurch too far from the mainstream. Several studies have found that the court’s ideological tilt generally matches the public’s over time. Of course, that isn’t because the justices are trying to tailor their opinions to match Americans’ views. These findings could simply indicate that the court is influenced by the same forces that shape public opinion overall.2

But it’s also possible that the demands of public opinion — and concerns about institutional legitimacy — were weighing particularly heavily on Chief Justice John Roberts this year. After all, the partisan gap in approval of the Supreme Court has widened significantly in recent years. And research by Peter K. Enns, a political science professor at Cornell University, suggests that nonideological considerations — like public opinion — have more of an impact on the justice who casts the decisive vote in close cases, which was a position Roberts occupied several times this year.

One explanation that came up multiple times in interviews is that Roberts may have wanted to bolster the image of the court as nonpartisan this term so it would have more freedom to release unpopular opinions in the future. “I think Roberts in particular is probably concerned about tarnishing the court with the reputation of being a wildly political branch that makes decisions the public doesn’t like,” said Tom Clark, a political scientist at Emory University who studies the Supreme Court’s relationship with public opinion. “He perhaps wants to preserve the court’s legitimacy and build up a reservoir of goodwill so they can make unpopular decisions in the future without having it blow up in their face.”

Trump’s penchant for publicly asserting that judges are mere political actors may not have helped, either. “The fact that Trump is president and he is really explicit about characterizing the courts as political institutions could be a factor for Roberts,” Enns said. “You have to wonder — would he feel more flexibility in his decisions if there wasn’t so much active politicization of the courts?”

But another way to look at this term is that the court came very close to releasing some pretty unpopular opinions. For instance, Roberts joined the liberal justices to cast the deciding vote in two of the most high-profile cases this term, which dealt with abortion rights and Trump’s ability to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. This was significant because in both of those cases, the other conservative justices made it clear that they would have been happy to go the other way. And Roberts’s rulings in both of those cases were very narrow, which suggests he might be open to other challenges to abortion rights or another attempt by the Trump administration to end DACA.

So this wasn’t the year that the court’s new conservative majority took a swing to the right. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. But this term suggests that as long as Roberts is the deciding vote, we could be in for more terms like this one, where we don’t see a slew of opinions that run counter to the country’s general mood.
