Hot take on hot takes themselves

genuinely I think the fucking panopticon pressure that social media places on people with even the most miniscule possible platforms to offer opinions of Everything, no matter how unqualified or generally uninformed they may be, is a plague

something i am utterly obsessed with is the physical copy of dracula that i recently purchased that has , as part of its foreword , some of the original idea notes that bram stoker had about what dracula’s vampiric powers/traits would be.

one of these is that dracula’s likeness cannot be captured in a painting , he always looks like someone else.

which only leads me to imagine a scenario in which the count lines many of his castle hallways with paintings of himself throughout the centuries but none of them look the same and none of them look like him but jonathan can’t help but notice they all somehow look eerily similar.

he brushes it off , assuming they are simply counts of generations past.

I'm volunteering for a literary journal right now and there's two things I think you all should know.

1. Most people that submit to literary journals are cis white men. We know this because our journal has an anonymous survey about demographics for people that submit.

2. Most things that get submitted to the creative non fiction section are on the level of middle school "What I did over the summer" essays.

I cannot see the demographics of the people whose essays I'm reading, but guys, if you are wondering if you should submit your work to a literary journal or not, I promise you that just in terms of statistics there are a lot of mediocre cis white men and people in general confidently submitting weird crap that isn't literature to literature magazines. Do it. Submit your work. Please. If you want there to be more diversity in literature, be the diversity. Do it. Do it do it do it.

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

Double child prodigy whose spy work was so secretive his cover story was that he was working in the nuclear program and quit music to teach undergraduate math classes on the strength of a bachelor's degree from Harvard and refused interviews for the last 20 years of his life including when he without explanation put all of his music in the public domain is such a delightful mid-century American character. Plus he invented the Jello shot. They just don't make them like that anymore. They probably can't.

Also as we are already talking about it - virtual photography is a form of art. A lot of work goes into it and virtual photography artists, in my not so humble opinion, often don't get the credit they deserve.

The positioning, the colors, the focus, the light, the emotion, the storytelling - all of this and more is accounted for when they make the shots and it takes hard work. It is NOT just a couple of clicks and you are done.

To all the virtual photography artists out there , you are incredible and you inspire a lot of people!
