Anyone who criticizes progressive candidates for having "radical policies" and says that we just need more deregulation and more unchecked capitalism is deeply unserious person and probably doesn't deserve a say in politics

"You're lying about reading chapter books as a 8-10 year old! No kid does that." - Extremely dumb take from someone who is probably illiterate.

A lot of books that are popular with children are chapter books and 200-300ish pages long. The Percy Jackson series, Little House on the Prairie, Harriet the Spy, Alice in Wonderland, The Rats of NIMH series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Chronicles of Narnia series, Black Beauty, the Redwall series, the Artemis Fowl series, fuckin Animorphs.

Kids who get into the 100-200 page books like Goosebumps, pretty much everything Beverly Cleary has written, and books like Charlotte's Web [184 pages], start looking for longer books because they're entertained and enjoying themselves.

Sorry you were failed by the adults in your life and you never learned how to enjoy reading, but that's no reason to pretend that kids don't read. Maybe take an adult literacy course or something.

Everybody in my elementary schools was reading chapter books. What are these people talking about?

This is true but I'm gonna be controversial for a second and say that I feel bad for jocks who get hit with The Injury™️too. The Injury™️ fucking sucks, man. Having something that everyone praised you for when you were young suddenly betray you and having to both grapple with a sudden loss of ability (whether it's something that can be recovered from or not) and figure out what your future looks like now that the one you had imagined for yourself (whether it was actually realistic or not) feels like it's been snatched away is brutal.

I don't have a good place to share this but I got a new bookshelf (right) to help hold my growing book collection

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s
