i was introduced to your work via this book because my locally owned bookshop chose it for their Book of the Month in July - it was such a delight! i had been in a reading slump previously and this really got me back into reading :)

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

AS I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE, mister dracula, face ID isn’t going to work for you, you are going to need to memorize a passcode. do you need me to help you set it up again? no, i definitely can’t come over there to help. no, remember, we tried video chat before, i just see the back of your chair.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

i've been a vegetarian for a month, yippee! i've mostly done a lot of chickpea and lentil dishes because those are easy - next plan, to keep experimenting with tofu.
seen from overhead: a dark blue bowl with air fried tofu and steamed broccoli served over white rice. the handle of a fork sticks out of the bowl.

for fuck's sake, i'm 28. even if i was cis i would be a woman, not a girl or a girlie. i tried coming out to my mom as nonbinary over 5 years ago and she said "can't you just be a tomboy? why do you need to be something else?" and i just shut up after that. i guess she forgot about it (or tried to).

if it just said "i love books" on the memo pads, notebooks, pens, magnets, and bookmarks, that'd be fine. but it's specifically the wording of "just a book girlie!" that gets me. just a girl, just a girliepop, just a bookish girlie falling in love with fictional characters! teehee, "just" a girl!

my mom got me all of this "bookish girlie" branded stuff for my birthday earlier this year and i feel bad because i want to get rid of all of it. it makes me feel... belittled? sort of dysphoric? i'm not a girlie, i'm not a girl. but then i feel like a bad person for hating these gifts

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.
