i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

[literaryreference]

Time to take this post entirely too seriously:

I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.

When I was in college I had a professor who was an expert on detective fiction. He had a longstanding beef with the idea that "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was the first detective story. He thought that it seemed way too polished to be inventing a new genre, and also that the whole orangutan business had the vibe of someone subverting preexisting audience expectations and maybe engaging in a bit of stealth parody. With the help of some student volunteers, he went trawling through old magazines and newspapers and found hundreds of detective stories from the early 1800s that just hadn't garnered enough individual attention to be remembered. This was because most of them sucked balls. He created an online archive of them, so you too can read these mostly terrible stories.

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on Project Gutenberg sifting through forgotten old fiction and lemme tell ya. a lot of that stuff sucks ass.

Tremendously comforting, really.

was about to make a post saying “putting the word berry up on a shelf” in response to seeing two -berry posts in a row but then i realized how meaningless and cruel that would be for me to say

[noelle-ism]

Also they would get gross and moldy within a few days so you'd be wasteful as well

whenever you talk about medical abuse or antipsych a lot of med & psych professionals on tumblr love to cite their job titles as proof that they have the Authority to Prove You Wrong not understanding that the reason that works to shut patients up in real life is because you hold the power to permanently degrade their quality of life/quality of care and they're afraid of you because of it, not because they genuinely agree that you're better than them

[sapphling]

this sniveling fundamentally-disagree-in-tags thing people do is so utterly intolerable. me when i use my power over others to make their lives categorically worse and permanently endanger their access to fair medical care but i'm still too much of a pussy to defend my actions in the actual post body

“potentially mature content” yeah that’s my pervert friend i hope it’s mature content that’s what i followed them for

[tonyzaret]

Exciting news from the wife & I- baby #6 is on the way! And don’t worry, we’re still raising all of them to be committed Anti-Natalists

[fus-mar-hoz]

is it "cruelty is the point" or does extreme reactionarism have greater motivations than those posed by psychoanalyzing the other

[3000s]

whats with the "fat chud" thing? why are we associating fatness with reactionary politics again?

[3000s]

not to be a conspiracy theorist but quite honestly it seems intentional and perfectly in line with the way fatphobia & glorification of anorexia/edtwt is making a big comeback lately, like, "lets find another way to make fat people an enemy by insinuating fat people are inherently right-wing 4chan nazis"

[3000s]

same as it ever was though like the "fat neckbeard" thing never fully went away either

[transgendervoiceproject]
