Comparing and contrasting I Saw The TV Glow and The Substance is really interesting to me.
One is the horror of not changing. Keeping yourself trapped in the wrong body, because it’s what the world tells you you should do.
One is the horror of changing everything. Forcing the wrong version of you out of yourself, building a literal closet to hide your true self in, because it’s what the world tells you you should do.
And I think, because both do such a viscerally good job of articulating their lived experiences, both together shed light on how these two groups are pitted against each other.
What one needs in this world to exist as themselves is the opposite of what the other needs, and transphobes feed off of that. They encourage cis people to project their personal horror story onto someone else’s life and decide they are destroying their bodies, not learning to love themselves enough, instead of stepping back to see the throughline.
Killing yourself to be something for someone else instead of yourself is the horror story, always.
What that means and looks like for each of us is different. Polar opposite sometimes. And that’s okay.

Edit: my ebook reader displays 493 pages, but the edition on Storygraph has 448, but if you multiply each date by 448/493, you should get the correct page number.

"Growing Around Grief"
Lois Tonkin, 1996
There are "complicated relationships" in media and there is writing a letter for the person who tried tried to mind wipe you several times, who you will kill in your next life, and starting said letter with a dramatic "My enemy. My friend." for said person to read while they die of radiation poisoning.
Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.
This is the recipe I’ve been using for years for Paprikash. (a.k.a. Paprikás Csirke / paprika hendl) In respose to the current hype, I figured I’d share it with you all. Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients
Oil, butter or lard – 2 tablespoons
Chicken thighs, deboned & skin-on – 2 ½ to 3 pounds
Onions, thinly sliced – 2 (or 3 if small)
Hungarian sweet paprika – ¼ cup
Korean chili flakes – 2 teaspoons
Pastry flour – 2 tablespoons
Poultry stock, unsalted – 1 ½ cups
Red bell peppers, diced – 2
Salt and pepper – to taste
Sour cream – 1 cup
Lemon juice (optional) – 1 tablespoon
Directions
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large cast iron skillet. Add the chicken skin-side down and brown until skin is crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a board, and cut into bite-size pieces.
Remove any excess oil leaving about 2 tablespoons and add the onions. Sauté the onions until wilted and beginning to brown. Stir in the paprika and flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in the stock in portions, breaking up any lumps. Add the browned chicken pieces, bell peppers. and the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice if using. Adjust seasoning and reheat over low flame. Serve hot with noodles or gnocchi.
Variations
Mushrooms can be added with the stock.
Kosher version: Instead of sour cream, use 50% more flour and 33% more lemon juice. For passover use potato starch instead of flour.
I might be colorblind! Hope this helps
