@blitzlowin​ /cracks knuckles/ i do this for u. there is no order to this list, but here we go -

the jasmine throne - 2021, epic fantasy. fantastic. lesbeans. just gorgeous worldbuilding, and the main characters Priya and Malini are likeable and smart while they’re maneuvering around each other and the other moving pieces in a colonized country under the thumb of an empire that’s rapidly taking a turn towards war. the cover for book 2, the oleander sword, just dropped, and I’m dying.

-

the luminous dead - 2019, scifi/horror. lesbeans, with even more emphasis on the morally grey aspects this time. absolutely fucking terrifying - the threats in this alien caves are very real, stacked with the psychological tension of having someone above control the caving suit that keeps you alive while underground for weeks at a time and the economic pressures of being trapped on a dead-end planet, leaving you no choice but to keep delving deeper…and deeper… 

again, the worldbuilding is insane. I reread it periodically and can never get over how well-paced the beats are. this is the kind of merch you get:

-

iron widow - 2021, scifi/fantasy. the bisexual poly love triangle we’ve all been screaming about. I describe it as an inverse Pacific Rim, but you won’t get why until pretty much the final pages. all three of these have had morally dubious protagonists but in iron widow Zetian GOES OFF AND WE LOVE HER FOR IT. she’s chaotic furious. she’s unhinged in the best way. “May he stay unsettled.” the author herself has described this as accidentally furry Dragonball Z with giant Pacific Rim robots and monsters, essentially. I have absolutely no idea what will happen with book 2 but I know it’ll be balls-to-the-walls insane (complimentary).

-

the outside - 2019, cosmic horror scifi. lesbeans. humanity is ruled by AI gods throughout the stars, the angels are cybernetic post-human cogs in a repressive machine, and Yasira accidentally makes a scientific leap that invites in a disruptive, heretical, reality warping presence that destroys a space station. things spiral out of control from there. the second book didn’t hit as well for me (mostly because mysteriously it was half the length it needed to be? it goes from a novel to a sequel novella almost, so not sure what happened there) but the outside is 9/10.

-

the world gives way - 2021. scifi. you will cry. like that’s it, it’s a short little novel written entirely to gut you. that is all.

-

murderbot - scifi. I feel like everyone by this point has heard about/read murderbot by this point, but the fact is I can’t in good conscious leave it off a rec list. there are six books, now, a mix of novellas and one full length novel about Murderbot, and Martha Wells (bless her for this and for the Books of the Raksura, her series full of bi poly shapeshifters) apparently has a contract to write at least three more murderbot books so we’re set for life basically. Ms Wells has never let me down ever, in her life -

-

the darkangel trilogy - 1982-1990. scifi/fantasy, though you may not realize the scifi at work at first. 

okay. okay listen. listen. hear me out. you read the first book description. it sounds like a traditional dracula hetero set up. Aerial and her mistress are kidnapped by the darkangel. it has an almost fairy-tale kind of logic to the magic system. it ends with Aerial literally exchanging her heart with the darkangel’s to save his life, causing him to fall in love with her. 

meredith ann pierce then spends the next two books deconstructing the consequences of that choice, as Aerial finds herself more and more estranged from the rest of the humanity-adjacent people of her world - including the darkangel himself - and becoming a sorceress whether she wants to be or not, inextricably linked to the sci-fantasy workings that keep their world turning under the light of a [spoilers] COMPLETELY IRRADIATED EARTH. ultimately she has to make a choice to give the darkangel his own choice back, and take up a responsibility that will leave her cut off from her humanity entirely but for one person who stays with her to the very end. meredith ann pierce’s meld of scifi and fantasy is what I aspire to - the worldbuilding is so subtle at first that you don’t even realize what’s happening until it happens. 

(do I like to imagine it ends on a slightly lesbean note because of that last part? maybe so…)

-

tgcf/heaven official’s blessing - 2017, now being published officially in English starting with book 1 in December this year. putting the g in LGBT. before, I could have linked to the free online English translation, but everything has been taken down since it was licensed officially for publication. Xie Lian ascended to godhood 800 years ago, and through a series of catastrophes and extremely traumatic events was banished, ascended again, got banished again in even more disgrace, and spent the rest of that time wandering the world, luckless and alone, until he finally…ascended again. but the evil and mysteries that plagued him 800 years ago haven’t gone away, either. (MXTX also did MDZS/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, the basis of the Untamed show.)

General Strikes are not impossible. They take a lot of work.

Before I argued with a shit ton of landlords and wannabe landlords: I think we should strengthen tenant’s rights and enforce our existing tenant protection laws better, and increase our housing benefits.

After spending too much time arguing with landlords and wannabe landlords: Fuck it. It should be illegal to own homes you don’t live in. If you won’t sell to the people renting from you, people should forcibly take your property. All landlords are parasites.

As a gender nonconforming cis dyke, I’ve received a lot of weird hostility in bathrooms. Like, a lot. The mild but frequent stuff is when people see me, do a visible double take, and go check the sign again. The not entirely common, more aggressive stuff is when people verbally question why I’m there. More than once I’ve had someone call me “it” or confront me about my gender in public settings. I’ve had people try to tell me to leave.

But the only place I’ve had someone physically try to remove me from a bathroom was in London.

Some random middle aged woman thought that she had the right to put her hands on me simply because I don’t match her ideas of what femininity is, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this happened in a place where transphobia is running rampant. Of all the weird stuff that’s happened to me in pretty conservative parts of the US, they simply are not as emboldened here as they currently are in the UK; but don’t think for a moment that they don’t intend to get there.

Trans people are reason enough to fight these bigots. It’s a good enough reason. Trans people deserve respect, dignity, compassion, and protection. But if you think they’ll be satisfied with only pushing trans people back into the closet, you’re utterly deluded. They want absolute conformity, simple as that, and they’re increasing their push here too.

Any lesbian who aligns herself with transphobia is a traitor. Simple as that.

FEELING IS THE SECRET

THE ART OF REALIZING YOUR DESIRES

by neville goddard

CHAPTER 1: the law and its operation

your mind (consciousness) is the cause of your entire world (the product of your thoughts). in order to create (consciously manifest), you have to work with your consciousness. to create, you need to know about the law and the methods of operating the law. this is how you can build an ideal world of yours.

"consciousness is the one and only reality."

the mind is being divided into conscious and subconscious mind (note: equal to the beliefs/studies of joseph murphy).

the conscious mind: personal, selective, realm of effect, generates ideas, impresses these ideas on the subconscious mind, objective

the subconscious mind: impersonal, non-selective, realm of cause, receives ideas, gives form and expression to them, subjective

the law: conceiving an idea, then impressing the idea conceived on the subconscious (-> all things evolve out of consciousness).

the conscious impresses the subconscious, while the subconscious expresses all that it‘s impressed by. the subconscious does not originate ideas, but accepts the ideas that the conscious mind feels to be true and objectifies the accepted ideas (how the subconscious mind does that, will remain a secret).

"through his power to imagine and feel, and his freedom to choose the idea he will entertain, man has control over creation."

control of the subconscious mind is accomplished through control of your ideas and feelings. as we don’t know how the mechanism of creation, it is hidden in the depth of the female aspect/womb of creation. the subconscious does not require to "know" about an assumption and how it will create it. it is independent of knowledge, experience and history. an assumption itself existing is enough for the subconscious to give expression to it.

different from joseph murphy:

-> murphy believed that your subconscious mind will use all the information it has collected about the things you want to manifest in order to objectify it.

"ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feeling."

in order to manifest an idea, it has to be felt. only them it can impress the subconscious.

"feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed to the subconscious."

if you cannot control your feelings, they may easily impress your subconscious with undesirable states. therefore, do not restraint or suppress your feelings but rather discipline yourself to imagine and entertain only feelings that contribute to your happiness.

"control of your feeling is all important to a full and happy life."

never entertain an undesirable feeling, nor think sympathetically about wrong in any shape or form. do not dwell on the imperfection of yourself or others (if you do so, it will only limit yourself and the image you have of others based on your feelings about them).

"what you do not want done onto you, do not feel that it’s done onto you or another."

every feeling makes a subconscious impression and - unless it is counteracted by a more powerful feeling of an opposite nature - must be impressed.

I will be and I am

saying that "you will be" is a confession that you aren‘t. "I am" is stronger than "I am not". what you feel like at any given moment always dominantes what you will feel like. your desire must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not.

"sensation precedes manifestation and is the foundation upon which all manifestation rests."

your body is an emotional filter and bears the unmistakable marks of your prevalent emotions. emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease. feeling intensely about something upsetting without voicing or expressing it, is the beginning of the dis-ease.

"all changes of expression are brought about through a change of feeling.

a change of feeling is a change of destiny. all creation occurs in the domain of the subconscious. what must acquire, then, is a reflective control of the operation of the subconscious, that is, control of your ideas and feelings. your subconscious impressions determine the conditions of your world.

the subconscious isn’t selective. it is impersonal and no respector of persons. it’s not concerned with the truth or falsity of your feelings.

"feeling is the assent of the subconscious to the truth of that which is declared to be true."

there is nothing impossible to man. whatever the mind of man can conceive as true (whatever you can imagine), the subconscious can and must objectify. your feelings create the pattern from which your world is fashioned, and a change of feeling is a change of pattern.

"the subconscious never fails to express which has been impressed upon it."

the moment it receives an impression, it begins to work out the ways of its expression. it accepts the feeling impressed upon it, your feeling, as a fact existing within itself and immediately sets about to procedure in the outer or objective world the exact likeness of that feeling. it creates your impression (thought) as detailed as possible according to your feeling. it out-pictures it to the last detail wether or not it is beneficial/wanted/desired.

to impress the subconscious with the desirable state, you must assume the feeling that would be yours, had you already realized your wish. in defining your objective, you must be concerned only with the objective itself (the manner of expression or the difficulties involved are not to be considered by you). you do not worry about how exactly your wish is supposed to manifest.

"to think feelingly on and state impresses it on the subconscious."

dwelling on difficulties/barriers/delay will make your subconscious proceed to produce them in your outer world.

"the subconscious is the womb of creation."

it receives the idea onto itself through the feelings of man; never changes the idea received but always gives it form.

example: to feel a state as hopeless or impossible is to impress the subconscious with the idea of failure.

by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your objective, the subconscious is moved to build the exact likeness of your assumption.

your desires are not subconsciously accepted until you assume the feeling of their reality, for only through feeling is an idea subconsciously accepted and only through his subconscious acceptance is it ever expressed. it is easier to ascribe your feeling to events in the world than to admit that the conditions of the world reflect your feeling.

"however, it is eternally true that the outside mirrors the inside. as within, so without."

it is impossible to see other than the contents of your subconscious. your world in its every detail is your consciousness objectified.

"YOU ARE THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO BE, AND YOUR REFUSAL TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE ONLY REASON YOU DO NOT SEE IT."

to seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want; we find only which we are.

"you express and have only that which you are conscious of being or possessing."

denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire.

"mastery of self control of your thoughts and feelings is your highest achievement."

when perfect self control is attained, you will feel all you want to feel.

note: this is my summary and adjustment to the first chapter of neville goddard‘s book "feeling is the secret".
