There is like one writer i don't even remember her name but she made pretty good book about space station that was invaded by aliens, pirates, rival organisation, goo hive mind and how 4 people survived.
It is unique that those are not your typical aliens/pirates/rival org and hive mind.
For example Aliens don't want to eat you or kill you if they don't have too but if you are near their source of energy (it is like something like gel fuel that is toxic to crew if touched and it spils because for aliens it is buffet and aliens will attack if you are near pipes not outright kill but serious injure you.
If it comes for pirates they want to steal all digital data every account of crew and only few hardware like guns or ammo so they mostly kill only those who fight and are armed.
Rival org is actually the worst one, they want extract info directly from brain killing few crew and have hit list what worse it is situation both parties crew and rival org are evenly matched but there is traitor in theri ranks same with rival org.
Goo hive mind is interesting one it eats freaking alloys that are inside ship but doesn't eat hull because it is semi space resiliant goo like hibernates in space and shit so it tries to eat via pipes vents and other tight passages, crew is in danger of dying because life suport and shit is destroyed and stuff.
And funniest thing is all of those happen at same time.
Like ship is massive so pirates and rival orgs meet only few where situation starts harash but they team up eventually goo and alien fight each other because goo traps some of gel fuel inside itself as like warming substance.
Eventually half station is ruin where 1/4 is open to space and another 1/4 is with destroyed life suport that works on minial efficiency other 2/4 are livable but shits hit fun in different way too.
it was good book but sill i won't check author, she still included romance stupid bitch, what worse it was forced.

It makes the facial proportions more neotenous, which means that they are more similar to infant proportions. The head-to-body ratio, the flatter and shorter nose, the fatter cheeks and less prominent cheekbones, etc. This all triggers your 'cuteness' instinct, making you feel more protective of her, and attached to her.
This is also the reason a lot of people are more attracted to Oriental women (and, in turn, are less attracted to Oriental men, since women are obviously less attracted to anyone they feel they need to protect).

it read like my internal fantasies of constructing a perfect comeback long after a conversation that didn't go my way took place. the kind i had when i was 14 or so. like someone told this girl to stop watching the 6 o clock news and she seethed about it forever. probably the last time ill read anything by a woman

I've read To the Lighthouse and Atlas Shrugged, I think they're literally the only two foid books I've ever read outside of the mills and boon tier books my mom has.

The first was FREUD FREUD, DO YOU SEE THE FREUD. The second was literally just a libertarian longpost intermixed with mills and boon tier romance.

Wittkop, Shelley, Hooks, Morrison, Babitz, De Beauvoir

There's tons of great shit out there, man. Don't not read good books because they're authored by women.

I’ve got this on my shelf, along with a plethora of other primary source text translations from Sumer, Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece, Rome, China, the Maya Lowlands, etc. that were very possibly authored or otherwise approved/authorized by individual women (Hatshepsut, Lady Six Sky, Sappho and Eritha are some I know have texts/inscriptions directly attested to them in my books).
Wouldn’t expect contemporary blue-haired college dipshits to appreciate or even recognize any of that though, save for maybe Sappho, but only in the context of her being some “super progressive queer lesbian butch-dyke”.
(Conveniently ignoring, of course, the fact that the earliest preserved descriptions and examinations of Sappho’s life/work were taken as entirely heterosexual, with later Alexandrian chroniclers, in possession of her complete works, dismissing the idea of herself and her poems being predominantly homosexual as unlikely and unsubstantiated speculation).
