So pleased to see this article out in the world! Anne-Mette Hermans and I explore how aesthetic practitioners function as cosmetic gatekeepers when administering non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers, and the frequent tensions between medicine, aesthetics and commercialism. Itβs π!

Oh theyβre just the best π₯° LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE WINGS AND BEAKS. Fortunately the geese nearby are pretty friendly and get quite closeβ¦

YES! So good!!
Ooooo! With the red pages? I was getting very impatient with the delayed UK publication. I absolutely love everything I've read by him. I cried at points during the Indian Lake trilogy - HOW DOES HE DO THAT WHEN I'M MADE OF STONE AND ICE?!
Itβs a brilliant read!
Cover of Stephen Graham Jonesβs latest book The Buffalo Hunter Hunter.
I swear, there are no authors who make me FEEL such a complex range of emotions as @sgj.bsky.social does. His latest, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is just stunning. So, so good.

If thereβs one thing I can reliably find on any trip, itβs questionable taxidermy.
That is FILTH
Henceforth, I will only answer to βBarbie nine jobsβ.
Thank you Silke :)
Thank youuuuuu :)
Every track a banger.
