listened to a book on plains indian mythology n folklore n in lakota lore if you die n don't have a wrist tattoo you don't get to heaven. your ghost gets pushed off your cloud n have to wander the land aimlessly. gatekeeping the afterlife from smoothskins is insanely based
The mythology for chugs has changed. If they don’t die with a bottle of firewater in their grubby paws, their spirits are cursed to forever walk a Trail of Tears without ever getting a sip of hooch. Terrifying!
Oh great, you’re telling me that the Negroes have upped their game to include scalping? But isn’t that cultural appropriation?

had to DNF Mrs Shim is a Killer. It was very promising to start off, with our main POV character doing a great job of settling the atmosphere but I did not give a single fuck about any of the other characters except maybe Mrs Lee, and the prose also kinda derailed. It's a big shame, because it had such a huge amount of promise. My working memory is pretty good when reading, but this book was so disorienting that I still can't remember half of the characters but mrs shim herself. Great concept, bad execution.
