The Paige-Turner

I'm Paige. My last name isn't Turner. Book lover. Bacon eater. She/Her.

since ai companies are now scanning and shredding any literature they can seize, our collective 'hoard all the books even if you don't have enough space for them' instinct has paid off

i feel like a big part of the appeal of dungeon crawler carl is that it is fundamentally a story where a man is told "through complex legal and technological processes we have completely fucked over the lives of you and everyone you care about to enrich ourselves" to which the man asks "what if i killed you with bombs" and it turns out the answer is they forgot that was an option

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

My favorite corner of paradise is this little row of gorgeous gardens in Hyde Park. I go out of my way to wander through, even in winter.

oh btw bookshop.org is doing an anti prime day free shipping thing apparently. i talk about books here more than i do anywhere else so if you were looking for a new copy of something and didn't want to buy from the zon that's going on. 👍
