i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore

watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort

“meme” is now the generic term for “stuff on the internet” btw. funny comments on Reddit? memes. funny posts on Tumblr? memes. Good tiktoks? oxymoron, but memes. Your great aunt’s anti-vax conspiracy theories on Facebook? memes. The homepage of The New York Times? memes, baby!

I know this is the site where people wind themselves up for nothing trying to problematize their own behavior to the point where they feel like they have to constantly monitor themselves for the sake of not acting problematic. But like. You really should not and do not need to wind yourself up about seeing AI art and accidentally interacting with it. There have been so many posts recently where the throughline has been "I hate that the existence of AI art has made me have to constantly monitor the pictures I see online for the sake of making sure they're not AI so I don't accidentally enjoy it" and I'm here to tell you: you can just chill out about that. Your soul is not going to be tainted through interacting with the creations of the computer program and this pattern of thinking is seriously not healthy for you in the long term. Plus it's actually kinda annoying to keep seeing posts self-righteously flagellating over this shit.

"the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!" actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book

we're 10 days away from the anniversary of this post breaking my blog, so reblogs are back on! maybe I can get a new blocklist out of this

:0 i would LOVE some book recs possible 👀

If you want some YA that has a roughly similar structure and some similar-ish plot elements:

If you want some Adult aimed novellas that are fantasy/sci fi

If you want something longer, deeply thought provoking (even confusing), and cool as hell-

And obligatory Terry Prachett and Le Guin recs:

Having read all of GTN, Priory of the Orange Tree, and Memory Called Empire - GTN (and the locked tomb more broadly) and Memory Called Empire (and Teixcalaan more broadly) deserve better than to be compared to Priory.

Priory was... whatever and those other two books are absolutely incredible

I'm remembering about a year ago when we visited this a-yi who's a family friend from when I was a kid. I was pretty worried because I'm a dude now, but she didn't even mention the trans thing. Actually, older Chinese people can be so misogynistic that she said verbatim, “当男生，学习工程很好啊！” "To be a man and to study engineering is great!" That was the only mention of the whole deal.

At least I can appreciate her directness. Anyway, how about you roll that around in your mind for a bit and imagine how that would go were I a woman instead. That's social conservatism minus Western cultural Christianity. The point is that patriarchy is always the bottom line.

The Macy's windows this year are "Macy's windows themed" like they depict people looking at the original Macy's windows from 100 years ago, in a little diorama inside the windows. I thought this was stupid at first but I decided it's apt. Christmas has been about "Christmas" since at least before the Charlie brown Christmas special like 50 years ago. It's an entirely meta holiday. You're not celebrating anything but the idea of celebrating something. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I saw Giovanni's Room on a "list of the 100 funniest novels" which jumped it to the top of my reading list.

Just finished Giovanni's Room. Whoever wrote that list is insane. I kept thinking wow this book about being gay and in denial in 1950s Paris is incredibly moving and heartfelt. Can't wait for the jokes. This is quite the setup.

someone used the phrase “bits dysphoria” in my notes and I initially misinterpreted it as “feeling like your jokes should be funnier”

said this as part of a larger point in a reblog but I'm gonna make it its own post:

humans have the right to do things that are mildly bad for us sometimes.

dragon-in-a-fez

you have the right to eat way too many pierogi and make yourself a little sick. you have the right to go skydiving. you have the right to pull an all-nighter building the Imperial City of Tamriel in Minecraft. you have the right to get drunk in your living room watching football.

life is not about making the safest most logically correct choice at all times. you're a blob of salty meat piloting a flesh mech and you get to act like it.

This is called dignity of risk and it's a big topic in disability rights spaces. id elaborate but im fuckin wiped

it's always funny how people will advocate for bodily autonomy when it comes to certain things but then shy away from anything they personally wouldn't do to their own body. like yeah, that's why it's your body buddy. i can do what i want with mine.
