the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

I often think about this time I was talking to a friend while she was smoking (politely downwind of me because I have asthma) and she said “I’m not a smoker. I only smoke when I drink.”

And then I, knowing her, asked her “Okay, how often do you drink?”

And she paused for a moment and then went “almost every day.”

Okay. So you’re a smoker then.

Being the only person who doesn’t do drugs or regularly drink in a friend group of writers and artists sure is an experience let me tell you

I’ve witnessed a bunch of drunk creative and well read people decide to smoke weed out of a bell pepper and be disappointed that it didn’t taste spicy.

My friends. My stupid beautiful drunk and wonderful friends. There is no capsaicin in bell peppers.

Being around well educated and kind drunks also leads to situations that include sentences like “Hey I have some of that clean heroin leftover from the harm reduction center. Do you wanna try it?”

No thank you but I’m glad that the heroin that you’re doing is from a safe source. I love you.
