Book 13 finished! ✅

Book 14,15 & 2 epilogues left to go (my kindle says roughly 400 pages to go). I started reading this 22 months ago.

So far.. I’m a fan of Dain. Am i in trouble?

oh my god this bit about sexual harassment in the Metaverse is triggering a rant for me

i'm a gamer, and i play competitive games. the misogyny on those games is absolutely out of control and unavoidable. i'm soo triggered by Meta saying "she should have used the block feature" as if the block feature does anything to fix the problem. as if just leaving voice chat will prevent you from getting targeted. as if it doesn't happen in every. single. online. space

it's even worse in gaming, because you have to be in voice chat a lot of the time. there is no avoiding it. and why should women (and queer people, they get targeted just as much) have to use the tools in a very specific way just to EXIST in the same way that men get to? and then men use the shit excuse of "well gamers always talk trash, if you can't handle that then you can't be a gamer" as if trash talking your teammate is anywhere NEAR being threatened with rape, misogynistic jokes, or even just the low-level misogyny of having your skill/competence judged based on your identity

fuck youuuuuuu. fuck these people. 💣 the Internet in general is a cesspool of misogyny but gaming (and i would consider the Metaverse tangentially gaming) is a black hole of toxicity

Holy shit.

This was such an unexpected amazing read. I am so grateful to be in a world with writers like this I feel like she took all the things I’d wondered and felt and magnified them and made them pretty and gruesome.

I’m going to need to think more but highly recommend.
