i actually think "books should be difficult and somewhat painful to read and you are Bettering Yourself through Struggle" is a worse attitude for mass literacy than "I have specific preferences and like reading a lot of fun stories" tbh

*sighs forever*

movie is such a great name for them. yeah they do

What in the Mardoll is going on

I fucking hate that stupid song where the guy just yells "SAIL" over and over and I'm glad it went from being on the radio every ten minutes to never being played anywhere ever as soon as 2013 ended.

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

I'm less interested in the 1st vs 3rd argument, more in the entitlement happening for someone to walk up and say this at a signing as if the author messed up the reader's hamburger. Okay? Go away then? There are people in line behind you who want to engage with art, not demand extra pickles.

And I swear to you the Venn diagram of people who don't want gay characters in kids' shows and people who demand that antiblack cartoons from the past remain uncensored and free of warning labels is a single circle.

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

until act three the shark in Jaws doesn't even know people are mad at him. he's just hanging out

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

Maher is an Islamophobe of the highest order. The fact that he has not been run out of town is a measure of how unseriously Islamophobia is treated in this country.

Of course this was in Mount Laurel though lmao

There's a very hyped book coming out next week that I got to read early and thought was Good, But Not *That* Good It's a weird feeling

Paul Tremblay blurbing Public Access Afterworld... yeah gimme the book plz

GenAI can ONLY fundamentally on its core level "hallucinate," an ableist sanist inaccurate word for what is truly just "fucking lie" it can ONLY role play it CANNOT EVER BE TRUSTED TO ACT IN THE SELF INTEREST OF ANYONE WHY DO WE HAVE IT ESPECIALLY IN ELEMENTARY, MEDICAL, AND LAW SCHOOLS

Yknow whenever its gay people saying this shit with “i mightve been transed“ its really just them bargaining that Their Type of queerness is okay actually unlike this other type of queerness thats more dirty and coercive somehow and pls dont hit me im just a little birthday gay u okay with us rite

There's a whole "reading is for girls" mentality engineered by rich men against all other men that is such a wacky turn from back those men considered women incapable of parsing text. But seriously, if you're a man who reads books and stories (not posts, not manifestos), you're the exception today.

Hey how many anti-fat things about trump do you guys have left in you? Aren’t you bored of this yet? Because I sure fucking am

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

As the poet says, “what if the world was made of pudding?”

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top. just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

Rising from the dead to draw the new starters. I really love the dog and the bird, not sure about the gecko, but maybe it'll grow on me

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

It’s not that I don’t have thoughts, just that everyone is saying them better than I can

Welp looks like it's time to start saving for a Switch 2

all anti-trans agitators and hatemongers are lower than worms and will rot in the darkest circles of hell

the thing about trans people is that they're literally just normal. like... hot take. they're regular.

"they'll come for us next" is crazy bc like,,, trans people are part of us. they're part of any version of "us" that's worthwhile. they're coming for us NOW

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE. Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
