real-life activism is so much more enjoyable than internet activism btw. if you’ve only ever engaged in political/social activism online, i really recommend trying to find a real organization and getting involved in-person if you can

Y’all are gonna hate me for this

Proud hater of booktok culture and dark romance girlies who perpetuate the normalising of rape and fuck the writers who make money off of it.

You’re looking for something— no, someone, too, aren’t you?

(I can’t comprehend how you understand what’s going on, with your lifeless shell. Craft as you are.)

One thing that frustrates me about critiques leveled at academic writing that denounce it as verbose, opaque, impossible to understand, etc. and thus worthless, is the implicit belief that everything must be simple, and that nothing exists that can’t be explained to you like you’re five while simultaneously granting you perfect understanding of every facet. The problem with that is that 1. Academic writing functions in conversation with other academic writing and thus has very specialized language that has developed over long periods, and 2. This specialized language and these proposed structures, concepts, and theories that are deemed “deliberately obfuscating” or “overly complicated” are necessary to functionally describe the complex processes governing the even more complex world we live in. There are some things that can’t be explained to you like you’re five without massive chunks missing. And this becomes especially fascinating when it morphs into the particular bastardization that claims that these academic fields themselves are easy and intuitive, and so the only legitimate format must be in simplified forms, because anything overcomplicated is suspect. I’m not certain I have a point except that it frustrates me to watch people try and absolve themselves of making the effort to understand the complicated writing by pushing all the responsibility onto the authors, rather than seeking to familiarize themselves with the academic conversation and accepting a complicated truth.

fun fact: did you know the word “politics” is used exactly fourteen (14) times in this whole series post TAR :) and one of those times is directly in the summary of MAF :) the book where Feyre learns to fucking read for the first time in her adult life :)))

i think the craziest part of the percy jackson series—(warning i’m gonna be talking about child abuse)

—is that sally married gabe. “she was using him to hide percy’s demigod scent.” she married a man who physically abused her child. like. i get it’s a very nuanced situation and that demigods literally don’t even exist but yk what does exist? moms who marry men that abuse their children… like girl. there are plenty of bum ass men who smoke weed and eat pizza and looove their ciggies and instead of abusing ur kid they would straight up ignore him and if they were a demigod their scent would STILL be hidden

I gave in and listened to the full soundtrack to the new great gatsby musical after being goaded by my loving friends and I’ve been launched back into my hyperfixation from last year. The vibes are fantastic and I kinda want to see the show now

That being said it’s painfully obviously that the producers just wanted a “roaring 20s” themed show and the writers skimmed the TGG page on sparknotes and tried to cover it up by putting total broadway powerhouses in the main roles

Nevertheless I’m a Myrtle apologist now sorry

reading The Beetle feels like slowly getting eaten from the inside out by a load of beetles.

slow. agonizing. unsure of what’s happening. unsure of when it will end and whether you will be alive when that happens.
