i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests

[louisegluckpdf]

for reference.

[rebellum]

Maybe its just cause I'm not a very skilled writer, but I really dont understand this? And would really appreciate it if someone could explain it to me. What does Gück mean what else? What did Morrison mean by saying she didnt want to hear about the person's "little life"?

[necronatural]

For Toni Morrison, she says this during creative writing classes, so she's talking about teaching new writers to avoid dependence on solipsism and the familiar. If you don't extend yourself to try to imagine total alien ideas, you lose your range. This is really important when you're teaching at an Ivy League university in the imperial core, which will be full of students who think they are the centre of the universe.

Gück is more practical advice; writing does need to have a definitive direction, and relying on the reader to respond to their heartstrings being plucked is not enough. In fact, for a critique like this, I would expect the answer to just be "the point is X, and the prose style I'm using is Y", to which Gück (if he is any good as a teacher) would give direction to help your vision come to life.

These are challenges from teachers who want to help budding writers stretch their legs. You take classes like this in order to get challenged.

I think it's funny world-building how like, so at the center of Life we've got Water. Arguably The most important resource. Colorless transparent substance that molds to any container and we die without it and quickly. And all organic functions of society hinge on its availability. Could fight a ton of wars over this thing.

And well beyond organic life, modern society's great human invention is the Electronic Magic. Our greatest minds invented the Electronic Magic and it sends information around the world instantly. Our infrastructure our economy our modern life, minute by minute by minute, hinges on utilizing the great Lighting Technology.

BUT ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ DO NOT. DO NOT EVER. get the magical Elixir Substance of Life and Living and Healing, Water, IN the Electronic Device. The water keeps you alive critically but it KILLS the Electronic Device instantly and catastrophically. This Says something.

Dumdum may not be my smartest chicken, but she does know that humans can solve all her problems

1 minute old and don’t know how to eat or drink? Scream

Need to lay an egg but you’re crate bound while your leg heals? Try to jump on your human. When you can’t do that? Stare at them.

[seabeck]

Very important chicken

I love you guys but I think a lot of you are the kind of people who are susceptible to falling in with a cult.

[teaboot]

You’re right. We should all band together under a trustworthy and influential leader who can keep us safe from outside threats

[userfish]

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

[userfish]

hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

The rest of the space is going to be pretty pissed when they see this. 

[thesassycat]

did you google how to take a screen shot

[afeelgoodblog]

Fantastic idea

[durnesque-esque]

Article about it here. 

[nougatto-archived]

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

edit: someone’s noted that the current [2022] mayor is backtracking on support for public transportation. so. anyway love undated articles talking about good things from the 2000s
