deepest of deep breaths

feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

My favorite part of rapture tok are the Christians who think they’re superior bc they KNOW it’s not happening tomorrow bc β€œno one knows the day or the hour - not even the son of man,” but like they still believe the magic sky flight for goodies is definitely coming one day. #midnightcry

Oh man I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything from icon Dave Chappelle on the unforgivable, worth everything to stand up against it, crime of cancelling comedy just because you don’t agree with it.

Maybe he’s napping.

Exclusive: Leaked Messages from Charlie Kirk Assassin Accused shooter’s β€œpolitics” is not what government and media say

This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise.

Also side note: can country singers not sing anymore? Both of these performances sound like a bad church potluck sing a long. Go Rest High??!?! Get the evangelical outta here

This double country performance is TELLING

Along with Sidney Sweeney and Nate himself. This is a TELL not a show

I hate this shit Nate is doing with the donation money. As of 100k is not something that everyone in the first 10rows of that theater can’t spare immediately.

Bargatze doing the most conspicuous-consumption iteration of β€œasshole who sets cash tip on the table and pulls a dollar back every time the waitress is slow with a refill” sure does make me feel like I don’t have to care about him or his work ever again

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo

Yall really should be interrogating what you read and not just resting on that you read.

The urge to be first or most viral on a title that might be big is clouding their judgement SO BAD.

Hey book influencers! It’s possible to just NOT talk about that book. You don’t have to weigh in, promote, highlight, feature, or even rate it on Goodreads. Like you can just read it (if that’s what you actually want to do) and move on. Unless what you’re after is the high of promoting it after all.
