2026 booktok discourse: sad books are a cognitohazard (they make you sad)

unfortunately some people on twitter are very literally already there

[ID: A MDZS meme redraw. Wei Wuxian looks sad and says, "guys... I have something I need to confess. I gave my golden core to Jiang Cheng." The view cuts to Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng looking horrified, respectively holding a gay flag and holding a cake with a trans heart on it. Behind them is rainbow confetti and a banner that says "Gay is Okay!" End ID]

A 14 year old girl flushing her miscarriage down the toilet can be charged with mutilating a corpse, but keeping a dead woman on life support for 120 days then cutting her open to extract a 2 pound fetus because her dead body was decaying too fast to sustain the pregnancy any longer is not only legal but compelled by law. America/the world/men hate women so much.

@userautumn adding your tags because they’re important:

Another important piece of context I haven’t seen enough people mentioning (because news stories are leaving it out): Adriana Smith’s family was forced to pay for this.

Adriana Smith’s family, while dealing with the grief of suddenly losing her and watching her body linger and knowing she would never wake up, watching her body being used as an incubator after being given no choice in the matter (and worth noting for so-called “pro-life” folks, Smith’s mother April Newkirk has said “I’m not saying that we would have chose to terminate her pregnancy. What I’m saying is, we should have had a choice.”), is also BEING BILLED for this indignity, this cruelty, this undoubtedly racially motivated miscarriage of justice.

And much of this at THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKED AT AS A NURSE - her coworkers, by choice or by “just following orders,” were the ones to perpetrate this disgusting removal of personhood and agency — after she went in (to another hospital) complaining of a headache and was dismissed with pain medication, with NO TESTS ORDERED BY HER DOCTOR. She was declared brain dead from blood clots the next day, and that’s also 100% the racism, sexism, and ESPECIALLY misogynoir of the American medical field at work.

This article from Ms. Magazine is very good. Here is Adriana’s family’s GoFundMe if you are able to help. Here’s a 2024 article from Georgetown on medical misogynoir. If anyone has other reading suggestions, please add them.

Thiiiiiis is what journalism is supposed to be. The media shrugs at GOP hypocrisy every fucking day, good for this reporter for calling it out instead.

Watching The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is so like girl leave him*!!!

*Your man, god, Joseph Smith

Me @ the women of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives:

[fresh-bag-of-ham]

the clique breakdown of "sinners" vs "saints" actually being women who've been divorced and have a low tolerance for bullshit versus women staying in relationships with serial cheaters/groomers/losers and have to sneer at the women who chose not to put up with that shit, plus one girl's girl holding it all together who seems to genuinely like everyone but turns into an attack dog when one divorcee's new boyfriend doesn't pass muster

wow chain gang all-stars really just ends like that. i knew it was going to happen but it's the abruptness and the lack of follow up or closure that really gets me. the thing you knew would happen happens and then it's over and you're left with it so the feeling has to just sit there and fester. many of adjei-brenyahs short stories from friday black ended in a similar fashion so i don't know why id expect differently, because really what else is there to say. i feel hollow and angry and mournful and something else i don't have a word for. 10/10 amazing book instant favorite. i need to stare at a wall for 5 hours.

psychiatrists: You can’t stop this medication cold turkey. You need to stay on your meds no matter what. If you don’t stay on your meds I won’t treat you as my patient anymore

psychiatrists when you need your meds refilled: yeah I can do that in about 10 business days. oh you need it right now? or you’re going to end up hospitalized? meh I don’t care. good luck idiot
