Some people dive into books, others hungrily sink their teeth into them. I nibble through the pages and savor each bite.

Just a reminder that it was never in all seven books or eight movies stated that Snapes love for Lily was romantic.
Never. Not once. People just assume so because it is unthinkable to them that a man might love a woman as a friend.
I think, that even if he did like her romantically he dind‘t do all he did because of it but because of the much much stronger platonic feelings he had for her because she literally was his best fucking friend, dude.
It‘s so bizarre that people argue that he was just lusting after her and obsessed with her.
They were best friends for literal years.
Did you guys never have a best friend?
Have you never experienced the love of a friend?
People are so weird i swear.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.
It's not that kind of library.
In other words...
You are being lied to

#literacy#education#this this this#as OP lays out there are so many levels to this#there's the bare bones practical of: can you understand the directions to pay your taxes?#navigate the paperwork to rent an apartment?#communicate effectively via email for your job?#but it goes so much deeper than that#do you have the self-articulation to communicate your emotional state beyond a shrug and 'I don't know'?#or as we see with dysregulation: screaming and crying and physically lashing out?#that's vocabulary and basic comprehension and practice making connections#to say nothing of the experience of reading others' accounts of events (fictional or otherwise)#and being able to pull from that pool of information to convey/realize that you feel/think similar things#can you follow an argument and spot when there are contradictions?#(basic We're Living Among Fascists 101)#can you interact with the world beyond repeating what you've heard without understanding that context/meaning?#literacy means SO MANY THINGS#which is why we're hearing about so many Americans now who are 'functionally illiterate'#that doesn't mean if you put the word 'Dog' in front of them they have no idea what it says#it means they're not reading at a level expected for their age and as a result face serious hurdles navigating everyday life

Guys, Elon released his stupid AI on Twitter and the first thing his idiot devotees did was ask it if trans women are really women and they are losing it over getting the correct answer back.

Now it’s recounting Elon’s lies for people too

This may be the only AI bot I’ve ever liked.

to be fair to Cain if nobody had ever died before and I didn't know it was possible I would probably also hit my brother over the head with a rock if he was being really annoying

harry was like james: with his messy black hair, his predominant face features, his rule breaking, his quidditch passion, his loyalty to his friends, his "trusting to a fault", his mischievous nature, his impulsiveness, his recklessness
harry was like lily: with her green eyes, her nose, her lips, her sassiness, her compassion, her kindness, her explosive temper, her empathy, her strong sense of justice
harry was like both: with their bravery, their acceptance of minorities and their ability to perform well under pressure

it's lazy in a different way but sometimes you aren't killing off that character's parents for an easy tragic backstory. sometimes you kill off the parents just so you don't have to write more characters.

I envy writers.
As an artist I can give you a snapshot into a world.
But a writer.
A writer can take you there.
They can weave together words and create a portal to anywhere. You can visit those places instead of looking out a window and wishing to be a part of it.
I envy writers.
