Okay real talk the reason anti-intellectual memes/sentiments like this have been gaining popularity in the US in the last few years is because conservatives have been making an active, concerted effort to defund public schools entirely and recreate a world where any education is only accessible to the rich through private schooling being the only option. Poor kids will learn maybe basic reading and writing until they're old enough to work. And then they'll work. Billionaires don't want citizens. They don't even want people. They want compliant workers and consumers. They don't want us to do anything BUT work and consume.
People who read critically into art and literature are people who read critically into news articles and political speeches.
Thinking critically and deeply makes you difficult to control.
Critically engaging with art is some of the most rebellious shit you can do and I'm not kidding

Book: Gallant by V. E. Schwab
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Review below the cut!
This book promises a spooky family legacy, and it DELIVERS. Gallant follows Olivia, a young orphan who has spent her whole life at a dreary school for girls, perpetually othered and picked on for her inability to speak. But Olivia is also keeping a secret: she can see strange spectres. Shadowy, half-formed, and very clearly dead. Her only real companion is her mother's old journal, full of odd drawings and notes that seem to spiral into madness and ending with a warning to Olivia to stay away from something called Gallant. One day, Olivia receives a letter from her uncle and is suddenly shipped off to live with a family she never knew existed at a manor house that bears a familiar name: Gallant.
Gallant is The Secret Garden meets Shirley Jackson. That combination of strange, whimsical, and a little disturbing that makes you shiver (and of which V is an absolute master). Imo, it also falls somewhere between YA and middle grade, with serious Addie LaRue and The Near Witch vibes. I absolutely devoured this book and any minute not spent reading felt like a waste.
