Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?
Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

I watched TNG's "Measure of a Man" and "Q Who". I love how TNG was able to write wonderful interiority into its one-off officers like Captain Phillipa Louvois and Ensign Sonya Gomez*, as if they were fully realized people who stepped into the episode and stepped out to continue their lives unseen.

A sleep paralysis demon visited me just once in my old Toronto apartment. I tried to move and to speak but couldn’t, I was so heavy, and it hovered above me, this shadow thing that honestly seemed confused it was there, like I was supposed to be someone else but I wasn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

I think wanting precise outcomes and strict representation from a book is part of the literacy crisis. People are looking at representation and not the thesis of the book and how characters work within it.

It’s wild to me how often readers are engaging with female rage books and taking umbrage with the rage. You say that you support female rage but also believe in strictly legislating how it’s expressed? Look around, babe.

Um ... so looks like a bunch of you bought ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT earlier this year. Like, half as many as when it released 🫪 For a book that didn't do so hot when it came out, that's *huge*. I don't know who said something, but over a book I retraumatized myself to write, sincerely, thank you 💜

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

A silly photo messing with perspective. A hilly grassy field with 4 cows, three quite far away, one a little closer. The person who took the photo is next to the fence, and the closest cow appears to be standing on top of a fence post.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

when a two star review truly understands your soul better than most five stars. make it the blurb. THE MARIGOLD.
No. Noooo no no, did not like. Characters meh. Didn't care what happened to them. Glacial overwrought pace. Prosey AF. Felt like I was wearing a grey sludge patina over my soul for days while reading. Nearly DNF. Need several dozen hot showers and a good fantasy novel to shake the feeling of being sunk neck deep in neverending dull Scottish muggy moors for a week under a doomsday sky, alone. Not even birds. If soggy ancient grain bread were a novel.
