Thereโs got to be a term to describe that like. Extremely specific era of childrenโs literature where all the books were novellas printed on low quality paper, pumped out on a near monthly basis, and made for series that sometimes stretched into hundreds of books
Animorphs. Goosebumps. Bailey School Kids. Babysitterโs Club. Magic Treehouse. Series that plague public libraries and second hand book stores to this day. A genre that was nearly wiped out overnight by the success of Harry Potter, and the newfound desire for kids to read long form literature
It was like pulp fiction for kids

AFRICAN & BLACK PHILOSOPHY: Getting Started
Hello everyone! As many of us who study philosophy in some form are likely aware, people of color, especially black philosophers, are radically underrepresented in the field (composingย only 1.32% of all philosophers in the US). In order to combat such marginalization, and in attempt to help amplify black voices within the field of philosophy, I have complied a series of links & information here for learning more about African/black philosophy, especially within the US. Please feel free to add to this post if you feel that anything is missing, esp if ur a black person!
Overview:
According to Wikipedia.org:ย โAfrican philosophy is the philosophical discourse produced by indigenous Africans and their descendants, including African Americans. African philosophers may be found in the various academic fields of philosophy, such as metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and political philosophy. One particular subject that many African philosophers have written about is that on the subject of freedom and what it means to be free or to experience wholeness.โ
Articles to start with:ย
โWhat African Philosophy Can Teach You About the Good Life.โ
โA truly African philosophy.โ
โAfrican Philosophy.โ
โDescartes was wrong: โa person is a person through other persons.โโย

Yall ever heard white church music? Christian rock is one of the most gratingly generic and repetitive genres of music out there by a mile. It sucks so fucking bad. I am talking about this now because someone is sitting in front of the hospital and blaring โhow great? Is our god?โ As loud as the speakers in his truck can handle
too many people see evolution as just animals becoming better animals when the truth is that theres a species of boar that evolved to die because its tusks grow into its skull because the males with long tusks fuck the most

That said, just because most westerns have the idea you shouldnโt eat cat or dog, doesnโt make it any โweirderโ than eating other mammals like pigs and cows. So cut the orientalist bullshit.
Capitalism is an absurdist death cult where we ritually sacrifice human dignity and human life in order to appease The Stonks
