PURE/HONEY

Thrilled to announce my next book (after THE FRUIT) SURVIVORS OF BELNIJ (working title) and its sequel will be forthcoming from @AmazonPub imprint #47North

Using upper crust British accents to portray the heroes of Roman, Greek & Egyptian mythology for the last 100 yrs of cinema was also a ‘choice’

Am I the only one who feels like Animal Farm has been unleashed on so many babies with no context? Every "adaptation" or "interpretation" of it I've seen in the past 15 years seems to have entirely missed the point.

“Mon livre ne s’appuie pas sur l’hypermoralité du peuple palestinien. Soit l’apartheid est juste, soit il est injuste. Les Palestiniens ne pourraient rien faire pour que cela me soit acceptable.”

@dancingofpens @strugglescreen There was so much vagueness around Emma in general that I might have assumed her job and seeing someone else do the same makes me think there's some hint of books?

@dancingofpens @strugglescreen I really thought that Robert was the museum worker and Zendaya was a bookseller when they met but I was so angered by some of the latter stuff about Zendaya's character and race/gender that I might have blurred it out somehow.

Still haven't seen The Drama but the concept of it being about cancel culture when the controversial character works at a bookstore

@dancingofpens @strugglescreen Wait I'm confused. Isn't Zendaya a bookstore clerk in The Drama? That's what I remember from my veiwing.

@strugglescreen She deosn't work in a bookstore

Half the people on this app melted down when they found out someone can buy a cookie with food stamps

Men: I love Game of Thrones. I love seeing women raped. Fellas, check out Game of Thrones because the rape. Game of Rapes, amirite? Hahaha, I am not a loser. Me: disturbing how men love rape. Men: YOU HATE DRAGONS?! They're not even real!

@ksorbs 7% of the global population means you already are the minority, you weird cuck chud ball

This take is unpopular because it’s real immature, btw. I’ve literally watched white classmates develop real empathy for Black people because of To Kill a Mockingbird. Fiction can expand how folks understand motivation, fear, contradiction. The shit essays and self help books barely touch. Autobiographies always have a spin but good Fiction often doesn't tell you what to think. It drops you into situations where every choice costs something, and you have to sit with ambiguity and imperfect decisions, which builds REASONING. I've learned about West African traditions, Constantinople's politics, and political struggles of the Ottoman Empire from fiction. Malcolm Gladwell is cool, but he didn't improve my vocabulary like Ursula K. Le Guin. Fiction isn’t just entertainment. It’s mental rehearsal for being human. Escaping into a book can be as good for your brain and self regulation as meditation. And yeah, let me add one more chaotic perception I've had: Many “non-fiction only” men I've met are uncreative as hell and tend to treat women like achievements.

He using homophobic slurs while looking like a butch lesbian, is crazy

The totally not racist reason for why the one character who should be here, the LEADER of this group, is absent from this lineup, and didn't get the same on-screen teen superhero "origin story" as the others

I've been a fan of the try guys for a long time but lately they've started to ping my eat the rich radar. HARD.

@SFBARTalert LIES!!!! I'm at Berryessa and have literally been waiting for over 45 minutes already. 10 minutes????

There is a 10-minute delay on the Berryessa Line in the Berryessa, Richmond and Daly City directions due to an equipment problem on a train.

Been at the Berryessa station for literally 45 minutes without a train coming through! How about some kind of update? How can we trust @SFBART more if these delays mean we can't get anywhere on time???

Being tolerant of people's differences is not the same as tolerating bigotry and injustice. Read goddamn book.

2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK. The way they speak about “DEI hires” is how they view Black people in the workplace.

@Gopuff_Support I'd love to but this to bed & go to sleep but it seems despite it being over 2 hours I'm not allowed to cancel the order an get a refund??

So placed an order literally an hour ago through @gopuff and been on a chat through @Gopuff_Support for over 30 minutes with no response from an agent.
