I see people are using the word “cunt” on nostr today. Reminds me of this piece: “Aside from the "dick beat," Emre has taken up the project of championing forgotten female writers — "the cunt beat," she joked. She has written about "modernism's forgotten mystic" Mary Butts, the surrealist Leonora Carrington, and Susan Taubes, whose 1969 feminine rage anthem "Divorcing," written from the perspective of the protagonist's severed head, was published just days before Taubes drowned herself.”

I read Taubes this summer— great stuff

A literary take on imagination— used for the purpose of art. Only on nostr— absolutely not— I’m thinking of the first time I read Chaucer—Canterbury Tales— in my Catholic High School English Class.
