So many politics discussions boil down to one person saying “that’s very racist” and the other person replying “but I like being very racist”

@philvischer His low opinion of Black people is acceptable. Your low opinion of White people is treason.

lorde using a photo of her bush as an album cover created less of an uproar than this please be fucking serious. conservatives and terfs are using this to keep pushing their "trans women are sexual deviants" narrative and you are all so happy to feed into it
mira@sedhora

i don’t agree with this mindset but it is the mindset that i want my public intellectuals to have. that’s what they’re here for. they spout some overly educated take that is slightly too extreme so that we can say, “that’s a little much… but i get your point.”

ShinyMcShine: Simpsons Quotes
"Kids, let me tell you about another so-called "wicked" guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas, and he didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was--I forget. But the point is--I forget that too. Marge, you know who I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car."

Writing gurus : "Write short sentences and don't use big words" Charles Dickens in the first sentence of Oliver Twist: "Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born - on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events - the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.

I’m sorry but if you don’t know William Faulkner lived to see electricity then you know essentially nothing about William Faulkner. This is not some abstract failure of aesthetic instruction; his books are largely set in the early 20th century. He feuded with Hemingway?
Kolchak the Daywalker 😇 🐊 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦🍌@ArthurKolchak

It’s weird how historicized, canonical figures in the arts are all flattened in the popular imagination as having lived in some strange, undifferentiated 19th century. Even the great modernists, who definitionally dwelled within a thoroughly industrialized technological paradigm, are all conceived of as some vague Victorian types who wrote by candlelight.

@alyraejepsen @datadriven_tdoc Something like 4 % of adolescent girls were calling themselves "trans" at one point. No way do 4 % of adolescent girls have medical dysphoria. The medical community should have known it's normal for girls to go through a phase where they hate being female and want to opt out.

Everyone QTing/commenting like “so true king” as if your faves were spared from his ire. This professional hater hated on David Foster Wallace, Sylvia Plath, Ray Bradbury, Shirley Jackson, Maya Angelou, Stephen King, JRR Tolkien. Man loved and lived to hate.
