But it's important to note that you can have VASTLY different experiences of these works based on how they were taught.

You've likely seen the image of 1984 on a banned book table with a sign explaining that it was banned in the US for being pro-communist and in Russia for being anti-communist. If you're 16 and have no idea what Orwell is on about, you're going to believe what your English teacher says about it. If the curriculum states that 1984 must be taught as a critique of communism, then that's what they're going to have to do. If your English teacher really believes that it's a "commies bad" book, then hoo boy you are having a Different Experience than Orwell intended.

So yeah, just remember that death of the author applies to propagandizing, too, and the people writing the public school curricula ain't dead.

very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

Ngl, comparing pictures of the military parade crowd with the No Kings crowds is VERY funny.

Vote for me for president, I'll make it so that any country with an active US military base gets to vote in our elections. Not only would it involve people directly affected by our imperialism, but also I think it would be funny bc it would make A LOT of Americans so fucking mad.

i’d say “sorry for swinging a bat at the hornet’s nest,” but i’m not, actually! it’s been almost five years since harrow the ninth was released, and i STILL see people insist that harrow isn’t schizophrenic; she’s just being haunted. fandom takes representation of an intensely stigmatized mental illness (that the author candidly says she has!) and ignores it!!!

I went clothes shopping and put a bunch of hangers on my arm a good two and a half hours ago. Tell me why my dramatic-ass EDS skin still has me looking like I got bit by an accordion.

I think instead of giving the current babies the frankly rude name "Generation Beta," we should just rewind to the beginning and start going backwards up the alphabet. They should be Gen W.

Anyways a lot of the convo I had yesterday was about romantic relationships and attachment styles (verdict: it's relationship astrology but can be useful for introspection) and I should probably just come out to these folks (it seems our little section is like 75% queer) but boy did I spend a lot of time skirting the topic of my romantic relationships (of which there have been zero) while thanking my lucky stars I'm aroace because good stars above how do allos deal with this shit.
