I get real "I'm at soup" vibes from some media crit
"All YA books are about vampires" you are looking at the supernatural romance shelf in a WHSmith. "All hip hop is misogynistic" have you considered listening to a female rapper. "All classic books are boring stories about straight white men" you are reading classic books by straight white men. "OFMD was the first time I saw a gay person on television" I don't even know how this happened but it's on you
pride month!!!
Is that a miette?
Pride for you! Pride for a thousand years!!
you COME OUT to miette? you come out to her as queer? oh! oh! pride for mother! pride for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!
Piece of advice to all writers who need a cover but don’t have the money to hire an artist: use the public domain.
Online, you can find quite a lot databases for photography in the public domain that you could use (always check their specific rules regarding commercial use), like Pixabay, Unsplash, or Pexels.
But, even a tad more charming, there are also hundreds of thousands of paintings in the public domain. If the artist has been dead for over 70 years, the image is (typically) in the public domain and can be used however you want it. This is not a new concept, big publishers like Penguin and the Oxford’s World Classics do the same!
When you use such images, always make sure that 1. the painting really is in the public domain (sometimes the art itself may be in the public domain, but the photograph you are using to see it is not!), and 2. that it is an appropriate image. Sometimes, an image may look innocent and fitting, but would actually cause irritation, like accidentally using a painting of siblings for a romance or using a controversial image for different reasons.
Some places you can find art in the public domain (always double check!): National Gallery of Art, Artvee, Public Domain Image Archive, and most websites of bigger museums.

Your cover will look so much more professional and interesting if you use public domain imagery rather than AI.
Your hard work deserves thoughtful presentation.
Also check the Wikimedia Commons. Alot of Public Domain stuff there!
a clarification: if something is in the public domain, that means nobody holds the copyright on that thing anymore. this is not the same thing as the thing being available for anyone to use as long as they follow the rules.
the entire reason photographers put their work on places such as Unsplash and Wikimedia Commons is to make the photos available for anyone to use as long as they follow the rules. each photo being helpfully labeled with what the rules are, which on Unsplash is usually either (a) "pay for a license", or (b) "free with attribution for non-commercial use, but for commercial use, pay for a license". note that non-commercial use of a category b photo is still a licensed use, it's just a different license.
on Wikimedia Commons, many photos are in the public domain, thus available for anyone with no rules to follow. the rules on the rest vary, but Wikimedia Commons requires those rules to include that modified versions of these photos must also be available for anyone to use and modify. again, that's licensed use. that's the copyright holder saying it's available for anyone to use, here's the rules. anything in the public domain, there are no rules because there is no copyright holder.
I would be very surprised to learn any images available on Unsplash are in the public domain.

Whats the problem
how;get down
you can’t call something a crackship if they have multiple scenes together and insane sexual tension. not even if only a few people ship them. that’s just a rarepair. the line must be drawn here.
A crackship is spin-a-random-wheel territory. They have no basis or are jokes, for example Jayfeather x Stick for the warrior cats fandom.
i think its fine to have limited tastes in media if you understand your limitations. like i wont shame someone if they only watch cartoons because thats their choice but i also dont think you can go making hot takes about the horror genre if the scariest thing youve watched this decade was the owl house finale. that seems ill advised.
Like, I don't wanna sound elitist since I also watch a lot of animation, but so many bizarre takes on Tumblr make a lot more sense when you realise how many people here have cartoons made for children and fanfiction of cartoons made for children as their sole points of reference for what media is like
really i think the most insidious part of white supremacy is the way it will convince white people everything is actually About Them. being called out isn’t about you. poc expressing frustration at your behaviour isn’t about you. it’s about how you are affecting others. step one is literally just de-centre yourself from the conversation. anyone who’s not white has already had to learn this lesson the hard way and it gets tiring waiting for the rest of you to catch up
sometimes when I get mad online I have remind myself that the coolest and most reasonable friend I have doesn’t know who dril is and asked me to explain what the acronym “MCU” stands for, because she spends most of her free time watching documentaries about industrial disasters with her girlfriend and going to quarries to collect rocks together. a better world is possible and it’s out there right now
Please stop being nonbinary too. God only created one gender. You must conform to that.
THERES ONLY ONE NOW?????
everyone talks about the ocasional like from the respected mutual that makes you go oh thank god you haven't unfollowed me but no one ever talks about how it will never be on a good post. it's never you at your posting best it's always on some bullshit like: made sanbwich. with loaf (bad pun for love)
Isn't it fucking insane that so many people think that IQs are real. Like people genuinely believe you are born with one set level of intelligence that can be measured on a scale from 1 to ~200. As if intelligence wasn't extremely nuanced and completely subjective. And the fact that the majority of scientists that have advocated for IQ tests in the past have been eugenicists doesn't seem to concern anyone either
Gentle notice that “highbrow” and “lowbrow” are eugenics/race science terms and it may be better to just quietly retire them in casual discussions of art
Sometimes homeless people will be off-putting and rude and demand more of your attention than you're comfortable giving. I promise you, if you had to deal with a fraction of what they do on a daily basis, you'd become off-putting too. Sit with your discomfort and direct your anger at the systems which made them homeless, not at the person in front of you who is struggling.
These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.
All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.
gofundme please donate

Please continue to help my friend Nader. His campaign supports eight people, including his father who suffers from cancer.
No bro I swear they're a bad person, look at this document I've personally compiled about their every waking movement for the last 5 years, they said a few means things that can be really really bad if you squint. 3 years ago. In the middle of a psychotic episode. I'm in the right here btw.
