can I be so real with you. can I be honest. totally aside from the moral panic about women on booktok being """porn addicts""" because they're reading erotica, I think it's so fucking goofy when people act as if there needs to be some kind of societal reckoning with how tiktok books "aren't very good." like, okay? they're commercial products mass produced for entertainment. tiktok didn't invent that; you're going to have to take it up with pulp magazines and dime novels and comic books. you guys would throw up if you found out about Fanny Hill.

a year or so ago I was lucky enough to attend s talk by Dr. Emily Knox, a brilliant researcher and author with degree in both library science and religious studies, and she had this theory that both leftists and the right in America have this baked in reverence for books that's a holdover of ye olden days when very few Europeans could read and most people primarily interacted with the written word in a religious context, as a means of learning about the Christian God and means of salvation.

the subject of Knox's talk was mainly how, on the right, this deep belief in the innate power of the written word is a large part of what drives efforts to have books removed or banned from public libraries, as if good "normal" white children are going to instantly become polyamorous atheist antifa supersoldiers if they're exposed to degenerate filth like And Tango Makes Three.

meanwhile on the left we're broadly ideologically opposed to book banning but still have this weird reverence for something that is, ultimately, a mass produced consumer good. which is why you get people developing beef with books that don't pass the vibe check re: being intellectually and morally improving literature and acting like it's a societal ill that women on tiktok are ready dorky erotica. sure, you're not saying out loud that these books should be banned, because you know it sounds fashy, but if you're arguing that they'll have a deleterious effect on women too dumb to know better then the subtext is still pretty readily apparent.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I guess my point being if you've allowed yourself to develop a superiority complex because you think you're reading "better" books than Those Other People maybe uuuuh calm the fuck down and kill the book cop in your brain, it literally doesn't matter.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

some people in the notes are like halfway getting this by saying something along the lines of "at least they're reading something! all reading is good reading!" and like. sure. but what if I also told you that reading is not an innately virtuous act and that reading for fun is morally neutral.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

people whose takeaway from this post is "all popular things are objectively bad" please see me after class

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

people whose response to this post is "yeah the only thing that's bad about booktok is that it markets erotica to teens" seem to be forgetting teens were already reading the most depraved poorly edited smut imaginable on wattpad and ao3 and what have you. before the internet they were just passing around fucking Flowers in the Attic.

the problem is that I want to know everything in the world but also I can't seem to do my laundry when I'm supposed to, rendering me absolutely useless

Heavenstruck! by me ❤ (Harry/Draco, eventually ~80k)

One and a half years after the war, Draco Malfoy shows up to the Burrow for Christmas.

I am feeling so emo about finally publishing this wip—it's what I got back into writing to write & what a way to celebrate two whole years writing Harry/Draco. I truly am so grateful for this community and feeling so tender putting something a bit raw & a bit unfinished up.

As always, it takes a village. @mallstars and @queermccoy looked at an early draft of this over a year ago, and provided invaluable and gentle feedback about what needed to change—and they were fucking right & I deleted 30k of this monster, and it's immeasurably better for it. @sleepstxtic, @thecouchsofa, @hoko-onchi-writes, and @elskanellis betaed this fic so thoroughly and kindly, and it's tighter and cleaner and funnier and punchier for them! thank you thank you thank you to everyone who helped with this one.

.・。.・゜✭・a . snippet・✫・゜・。.

Harry thought about how fucking unfair it was that Malfoy—Malfoy, who stomped on his nose while he was petrified; Malfoy, who called Hermione a Mudblood and the Weasleys poor blood-traitors; Malfoy, who averted his gaze from Lucius and said, “I can’t be sure”—could get to have the warmth of Molly and Arthur.

Traitorously, Harry’s brain also interjected how awful Malfoy looked, how he didn’t have anyone else in the world right now. How awful Harry must have looked to Molly and Arthur and the rest of the Weasleys when they met him on Platform Nine and Three Quarters, or rescued him from his barred bedroom at the Dursleys. How fucking awful it would have been if Harry had been welcomed into their warmth, only to be thrown out again, back to starving, back to no one.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.
