'Sup.

As the Muskpocalypse continues over on the Cursed Birdsite, I figured I'd rev up the turbines on this ancient, disused wreck and leave the flaming wastelands behind. In the past, I've found Tumblr is almost useless for engagement, but it IS a good place to free the stuff that's trying to chew it's way out through my skull.

So, hi everyone. Feel free to say hi back.

What’s the lesson here? It’s hiding in plain sight. Everything the far right touches dies. Collapses. Implodes. That’s currently what’s happening to poor old Twitter, at light speed. And we should all take note, because it’s no different from countries, cities, towns, nations. Britain went far right, in a frenzied Brexit delusion — and now, watching itself implode into poverty and despair, babies dying because there are no ambulances, people living without heat, it bitterly regrets it. America’s Trump years pushed it to the brink. The lesson goes on and on.

Sorry for the dust.

I guess I need to go back to using this.

people I still want to stab over a decade later:

Creative Writing Professor at a former college: Welcome to creative writing! By the way, you will not write fantasy, ghost stories, pranormal, or science fiction in this class, as this is a creative writing course.”

What the ever loving fuck is with “creative” writing professors who think that speculative fiction of any stripe ISN’T CREATIVE?

thebibliosphere

I still remember my own creative writing teacher telling me this because he saw the Terry Pratchett book on my desk and got this smug smirk on his face like “aha, gotcha”. He had the nerve to pick it up and call it “popularist fiction”, like somehow being popular and easily accessible made it less inherent in intellectual value.

I had it in my back pack because I did my final thesis on the evolution of mythology and folk tails into fantasy and sci-fi and the societal importance of telling stories (before anyone asks, no I don’t have it, I lost it when I moved continents), and I used Terry Pratchett because there wasn’t a single humanitarian issue the man did not touch on.

Which I told him. And then he kind of floundered and went “ah, well but, it’s…well I mean it’s not exactly high brow”, like neither the fuck was Shakespeare or Dickens you self-important turnip. Dickens was literally selling his stories by the chapter. He was the popular author of his time. Shakespeare was too, he fucking made up words and phrases all the time because the language he needed to express himself didn’t exist in the way he needed it too.

Intellectual elitism is nothing more than a hold over from class warfare and the belief that only certain people should get to be truly educated. And it needs to be smashed.

Mine was Dr. Peter Korodimas at SUNY Plattsburgh. You've described him perfectly here.
