Robin Williams saying "poetry. beauty. romance. love. these are what we stay alive for."

Students don’t need chromebooks and AI tutors, they need Shakespeare and Jane Austen and the Greek myths, they need the Arthurian Legends and the Arabian Nights, they need constant exposure to nature, fairytales, folklore, poetry and beauty.

At this rate they’re gonna make washing your hands illegal 😒

Happy birthday!! 🥳🥳🥳

God I hope so

In the club we all fam 🩷

Everyone’s up in arms about the weird Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial but can we please talk about how absolutely mesmerizing the Beyoncé Levi’s commercial is? Whenever it comes on I have to stop what I’m doing and watch it again

Oh and also it will destroy the environment even more

@ninepiecesofcrait.bsky.social Reading a biography on Roberto Clemente and this chapter on the 1960 World Series against the Yankees is reminding me of your Reylo baseball fic 😄 Scrappy underdog vs. legacy powerhouse is truly a time-honored dynamic ❤️

Today’s the day! 🎈🥳

LMAO I’m steadfastly against the AI shit but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day

I don’t even go here bc I’m more reylo-adjacent than part of the actual fandom but like… when I watched TFA my main take was I love Finn and Poe together

That’s so crazy, like I was literally the biggest square in high school but I still drank every weekend the minute I went off to college lmao

Also as an American, like… do kids not have fake IDs or get their older friends to buy them booze anymore? Underage drinking was always kind of standard lol is the puriteen crowd also against this too

And s2 for that matter

I mean I’m sure she’s looking at him like he’s a thic juicy porterhouse

Don’t feel bad, I never watched it until like a year ago. Definitely recommend though!

We have a judicial election in PA this November -- this is why it's important! Go vote, and text 5 more Democrats to go vote.

Vote YES to retain the Democrats on the PA Supreme Court, and Superior & Commonwealth courts. And vote for Stella Tsai & Brandon Neuman!

Bringing back the boomer “children should be seen and not heard” mentality but wokely, I guess?

It feels extremely antisocial, not in the “introvert who doesn’t like meeting new people” way but the “person who is deeply opposed to the concept of society as a whole being something larger than themselves that they should be expected to contribute to even if it’s an inconvenience to them” way

I grew up in Richland. Fuck Colin Dunlap. There are good people in that community. He isn’t one of them.

—drawing conclusions when reading and need every bit of information spoon fed to them like a 6-year-old watching Blues Clues. Whoever popularized that whole “the curtains are just blue” meme did so much damage to literacy istg

Not just the “stuff written in fiction means you endorse it irl” brain worms but also the fact that consent in a fictional sex scene needs to be spelled out verbatim or else the encounter is supposedly not consensual reminds me that these people are incapable of making inferences or—

The struggle of writing a smutty fanfic after a long-ass creative block is that every word has to be exceptionally perfect just to be “good enough”

Then I remember that some people use genAI for writing & I’m like ok I may not be a genius of erotic literature but at least I’m not doing THAT

Eventually that group kind of fell apart due to everyone turning on each other (shocker) and in hindsight it was definitely a toxic environment that brought out the worst in everybody, myself included

The closest I came to having an “anti phase” was when I got back into fandom after like 10-15 years (so I was very unaware that antis were even a thing), a lot of the new friends I made were of the “police other people’s fics if they’re problematic” mindset which I didn’t realize at the time

Normal people: “wow it kind of sucks how many people are dealing with homelessness and also how the city is over-policed instead of actually making people safer, we should do something about that”
Corey O’Connor: “hold my beer”

If you had me brainstorm like “what’s the absolute worst idea that this city could possibly do” I don’t think I could come up with anything this bad

U dropped this btw 👑
