rereading the entire hunger games trilogy and just reached the part where Peeta and Katniss watch Haymitch's games and idk if this has already been talked about but the exact lines are

"We watch from the point of view of one of the tributes as she rises up through the tube from the launch room to the arena."

first person pov. of a female tribute. someone capitol had put a camera on. as in, someone who has been bugged by the capitol.

AS IN, FUCKING LOU LOU!

the scariest thing about the generative AI thing is how quickly people have accepted it as an indefinite, irrevocable part of their reality. people have genuinely convinced themselves that ChatGPT is the only solution to most tasks - tasks they did with their own brain without any large effort two years ago. like you know damn well all of us used to write emails ourselves why are we pretending like this is an impossible task to do with your own two hands. what's with the fucking. AI revisionism. i feel like i am going insane.

kids these days are like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself.

isn't it crazy that a woman being gender nonconforming literally just requires her to exist in her own body without making any changes whatsoever. why does the fact that i don't wear makeup and i don't shave and i don't wear a bra have to be some political act. why can't i just fucking exist

Crazy how bullying is not really acknowledged as a real trauma like you really have to endure years and years of lord of the flies and then just move on like it never happened

im pro choice and i think there are a lot of good pro choice arguments but my bad evil (speaking facetiously) argument is that i kind of dont care and i dont think it matters for anyone but the specific person whose body it concerns. im not religious so i dont believe in souls. if a lady finds out she’s pregnant and doesn’t want it and aborts it without telling anyone then like so what? i dont feel bad for the fetus. i don’t remember being a fetus. nobody does. it might’ve become a person, but so might every sperm and egg that goes unused. I might’ve become a world class ballerina if i didnt stop taking lessons when i was 6, so i expect all ballet enthusiasts to now start crying for the talent stolen from them. And the situation in which i *do* feel bad is if the woman has her life derailed suffering through an unwanted pregnancy. See, then i feel bad because there’s a woman in physical and emotional pain. I also feel terrible for women who suffer miscarriages during wanted pregnancies. but also because those women are going through physical and emotional pain. i dont feel bad for the fetus itself. isn’t this a normal way for empathy to work or am i somehow evil in some way i haven’t considered

Abuse thrives in a culture that asks, “Why did she wait?” instead of “Why did he do it?”

Katniss describing her two Husband Options:

Ah yes, Gale. The One I have Chosen. My best friend. My hunting partner. He is mine and I am his. We're always together, except all the times we're not. No, his absence doesn't really bother me. He always has my back. Unless he's mad at me, in which case he says very mean things and shoves me. I don't crave his kisses or give him mine without immediately wanting to take them back. We never touch and that's fine with me. I absolutely would not marry him under any circumstances.

Peeta? No, we're strictly friends. Actually, we're engaged, but that's Snow's agenda. No, I don't hate the idea of marrying him. In fact, I could do so much worse. I mean, he's kind and strong and smart and generous. He bakes my favorite breads for me. He makes me laugh. He gives me hope. Sometimes when we kiss, I feel this strange sensation in my chest and I want more. It's probably nothing. Anyway, we spend hours alone together and I never get tired of looking at him. I actually feel safer with him than anyone else. I just wish things weren't so complicated and he could sleep in my bed every night...

Do you get it now? Without due process, everyone is at risk. How are you going to prove your citizenship otherwise?

hey just a reminder that the news is actively not reporting on the massive protests against the current administration happening across the country. If you're freaking out because "we're really just letting this happen?" No, we aren't, and you're not alone. Don't be complacent and don't give up.

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you
