One thing that annoys me about black culture is all the black people that raise a huge stink any time anyone that is not black uses a slang that comes from “AAVE” they always act as if they played a part in coming up with that slang but they are just copying it also, & then reinforcing segregation by saying they can say it but other races can’t.

The fact that Jerry Hsu has not posted as much as a story since Marc Johnson passed speaks volumes more than any body’s RIP hardpost.

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

Everybody is always over thinking everything, just do whatever you want.
