this kind of negative self-talk isn't helping anyone.

Text of a social media post. Carys-the-ninth: "Was this book good or was I deeply 19 when I read it" an investigative journalism series. not-your-lawyer: "was this book bad or was I simply lacking enough life experience to appreciate the narrative when I read it" : an award winning followup

Hah yes this.

Some of the books I loved as a teen have really not held up, while others did and are clearly excellent.

But there were books I was also just not ready to read, and my opinions on them were a waste of space.

Me: yeah people thought Miyazaki's decision to portray a war in the animated version of Howl's Moving Castle in disgust of the Iraq invasion made people think HSM was less meaningful bc it ruined the Vibes

Dianna Wynne Jones, famously antiauthorititarian resurrected: (sobbing so hard she throws up)

Our world is cruel - so I'm inventing a kinder one. 🌱

I fear we’re losing our whimsy as a society if ppl are turning their nose up at these things….

i do find it fascinating that Zorhan's whole run was "hey what if we made the city a better place for the residents" and Cuomo's whole run was "wanna see how racist i can get against this guy". like i dont know a single one of Cuomo's policy, how is anyone supposed to vote for him

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Having a victorian era woman autumn (becoming isolated and weird)

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

Time to listen to this mash up again. 🔥🔥🔥

I'm going to say it: This is fucking vile, eugenicist shit, but it's also not too far off from how the unhoused get treated already. Yes, even in blue states.

Love Island USA casting women is like “what if we scoured the country for some of the most attractive people you’ve ever seen” and male casting is like “what if we went to your local bar at 1:35am and picked up the first few guys we could find” #LoveIslandUSA

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

It's like I turned 30 and suddenly I pass out from one glass of red wine...

Nerdy doesn’t keep women away. Being “nerdy” isn’t a negative.

I AM A NERD. One of the biggest.

They got other flaws they’re unwilling to address.

no it’s actually because of the slavery

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

amazing

And then this “cousin” of hers is such a fucking creep. Acting like she’s going to be his without even asking if that’s what she wants. He just sees her as his property. This part just pisses me off, I can wait until my Kudo comes back.

But Kudo cared so deeply for her even thinking she had no powers. And yet she’s still so unsure about how much he loves her. I hate it so much. It’s just really hard to watch.

It’s so annoying how they keep acting like they’re the ones who care the most about her when the reality is that they only care about her power. Only now they’re like, “we must possess her because you’re not treating her well. You’re so cold hearted.” Such bullshit.

I’m trying to get caught up on Mu Happy Marriage and I’m once again so annoyed by this whole storyline with the Usuba family.
They only finally decided to take Miyo in once she starting showing power ability but didn’t give a shit about her being mistreated before that. I just wish she’d see that 😩

Listen……one of my favorite songs
