@SweatieAngle like a major driver here is massive, still somehow underdiscussed shifts in the platform economy and the entire downstream social and virtual context in which all of this is (presently!) being hashed out

@SweatieAngle tbh I'd suggest an additional complication that post Pivot To Video the total death of "new media" means that a bunch of the people reacting to this are downstream of an irresolvable game of telephone about what Jezebel dot com and its cohort even used to publish to begin with

I get those scoffing at the notion of ‘millennial feminism’ being neatly pigeonholeable w a single checklist of beliefs and characteristics …but (and I’m not thrilled about this either!) I think what people mean when they use this term is ‘Jezebel dot com feminism’, more or less

@madisontayt_ There's definitely something to the idea of popular feminism shifting to something more Immediate (in the Anna Kornbluh sense) with the advent of image/short form video based social media in a way that produces this effect. The work of Dr Jilly Kay touches on this.

don’t be a dirty nasty “feminist” who actually reads theory or thinks critically about gender and sexual politics, be a vague, amorphous, palatable ✨girls girl✨ a girls girl doesn’t have any serious thoughts to back up her views, girls girl is just based on vibes and capitalism

is now an ok time to say that i think the whole “girls girl” rhetoric of the early 2020s was a bit of a psyop to get women and girls to disavow feminism

@oh_tuntun I just read If Only as my first and loved it, if that helps

Arguing w my bandmate about Deafheaven on the subway and a random guy agreeing Sunbather is a great record

@molochofficial Cursed with being self-evidently correct prematurely

it's fun making zoomers read Baudrillard because once they figure out what he's saying they're just like "well, yeah"

@abs_sweetmarie I shan't be doing the same but I understand

God help me I’m gonna see that YouTuber’s movie opening night because the Norwegian wife of all time is in it.

@AmericaSinger29 @aloyxwrites What do you think is more work for a "lazy" person: - hitting the " a few times - getting a not uncommon but nonstandard formal conceit through the publishing system in today's fiction market The answer may surprise you!

@aloyxwrites I bet she only did it because she was lazy and is trying to market it as an artistic choice😭

authors who don't use quotation marks for dialogues should go straight to jail

@RaConchal @DrDavidVernon Ana Paula Maia and Itamar Viera Junior have both been nominated for major translated literature awards in the last few years, Lispector was extremely fashionable a year or so ago and is still widely read. Machado De Assis has been getting quite a bit of attention recently too.

@DrDavidVernon I have a real curiosity to know haw the Anglosphere think about the Brazilian writers

Delighted to reveal the cover for my book on Clarice Lispector’s novels, stories and crônicas. Will be published in the autumn!

@elenasb_ Among people who know what's up, yes, but most people don't know what's up and will never get there

I think the literal opposite is true lol

Two good parapraxes so far at the all day group reading of The Prelude (1805) - "infinity" instead of "infirmity" and "commanded" instead of "communed". Clearly the readers are feeling confident today

@skywsabreadroll Too late now I guess but Onibaba rocks, Revenge rocks, Messiah of Evil rocks

give me a movie off this list to watch tonight i’ve put it off long enough boxd.it/SX8E4

@harriepw This is just the age old phenomenon of someone commissioning a work and then presenting it as their own art, the only difference here is that they're commissioning it from The Machine That Outputs Averages rather than an actualnperson

Sorry, no you're still not 'doing the work'

@SophyRomvari no don't give in to those thoughts. stay strong

I have this weird feeling that if I rewatched Lala Land now I might actually like it

how it feels to approach an artist after the show to tell them you liked their set
