Because I really hate that (it can be done well, but usually requires a less close POV than most books are nowadays/I prefer to read), and I want a way to describe it in fewer words. #booksky

Is there a trope name for the thing where you’re in someone’s POV and they learn, discover, remember, or think of something and it’s all “aha, I had solved the problem” but you as a reader don’t get to find out what the solution is even though by the rules of POV you should? #booksky

I guess the NYT is off my list of potential news sources to support. If anyone has a suggestion for a solid publication with in-depth reporting that acknowledges the humanity of trans people, I’m interested.

"Not Exactly Consequential": NYT Dismisses Trump's War on Trans Americans After years of trans panic coverage, the paper now claims attacks on trans rights barely matter.
