I need readers!

Hi, I'm back in my bullshit (scifi novel i wrote 10 years ago originally) and just got through the third draft edits. It's about 300 pages of standard book formatting i think but right now it's 600 pages of 12 point extra line spaced paperback margins.

So maybe 2 books.

If you'd like to read a book or two about space colonialism and resistance in 2300, let me know (via ask, a message, or emailing me at [email protected]}, the only cost is feedback. You can even figure out what the original fanfiction origin point was and who my authoriisl self-insert is while making the book extra woke.

basically my position is that landlords should die until my siblings aren't forced into soliciting donations online for basic necessities like food and shelter and medicine. i do not consider this any more extreme than the popular position that poor people should suffer and die en masse so landlords can keep getting paid for doing fucking nothing.

[dumbpuppyfag]

if the only difference between an economic regime and the literal mafia is a legal document and some uniforms then i don't think there's much of a difference at all. if they can send muscle to your door to intimidate you, to harass and assault you, to take your belongings and to throw you out onto the street then you are being extorted. they provide nothing. they exist as parasites on the working class, leveraging the threat of homelessness to pay off their mortgages with your wages. you are absolutely correct to interpret this as a system of state-regulated violence against you. you can and should hate them for this.

[dumbpuppyfag]

you can tell the economy's going great lmao. all these notes and so far not a whisper of disagreement with my "kill all landlords" policy. one person correctly pointed out that my demands actually don't go far enough

Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.

I don't even want to see critiques of it. I don't want to see hatewatch reviews about how bad or dumb or racist or transphobic parts of it are like people did for the fantastic beasts movies of the hogwarts video game. You are part of the problem. Do not feed the machine. Let it die. You do not need to consume media you don't like just to show off to everyone else how much you don't like it. It's especially heinous if you say something like "I'm donating the cost of a movie ticket or a month's streaming subscription to a trans charity," because that doesn't balance the scales, it doesn't negate the evil, it just shows you are willing to support both sides, making you a spineless coward.

Just fucking ignore it and understand that it's going to be recationary on purpose. It's going to be full of bait. Warner Bros is counting on there being a ton of controversy to boost the numbers because there's no such thing as bad publicity.

DO NOT ENGAGE. Let it come and go, and maybe the numbers will be bad enough that it gets canceled before it gets to book 7. Probably not, though. This is a tentpole for WB, they're putting all their eggs in this basket, it's not gonna bomb like Morbius. They're gonna push it through to the end no matter what, so just do your part by not playing along.

[goddamnlethamlet]

don’t even pirate it. let it die in obscurity.

Death of the author only applies when the author is actually dead and not actively still out there using all the money she gets from royalties to do some of the most evil shit you've ever heard of

Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction. You Should, Too

What does it mean that religion, not porn use, predicts porn-related problems?

Now, researchers have put a nail in the coffin of porn addiction. Josh Grubbs, Samuel Perry and Joshua Wilt are some of the leading researchers on America’s struggles with porn, having published numerous studies examining the impact of porn use, belief in porn addiction, and the effect of porn on marriages. And Rory Reid is a UCLA researcher who was a leading proponent gathering information about the concept of hypersexual disorder for the DSM-5. These four researchers, all of whom have history of neutrality, if not outright support of the concepts of porn addiction, have conducted a meta-analysis of research on pornography and concluded that porn use does not predict problems with porn, but that religiosity does

[ms-demeanor]

If the concept of pornography addiction were true, then porn-related problems would go up, regardless of morality, as porn use goes up. But the researchers didn’t find that. In fact, they cite numerous studies showing that even feeling like you struggle to control your porn use doesn’t actually predict more porn use. What that means is that the people who report great anguish over controlling their porn use aren’t actually using more porn; they just feel worse about it.

Having moral conflict over your porn use (PPMI) does turn out to be bad for you. But that's not because of the porn. Instead, higher levels of moral conflict over porn use predict higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and diminished sexual well-being, as well as religious and spiritual struggles. In one study by Perry and Whitehead, pornography use predicted depression over a period of six years, but only in men who disapproved of porn use. Continuing to use porn when you believe that it is bad is harmful. Believing that you are addicted to porn and telling yourself that you're unable to control your porn use hurts your well-being. It's not the porn, but the unresolved, unexamined moral conflict.

This is a really good writeup.
