A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

my brave and controversial stand on The Gay Hockey Show is that you don't have to make liking OR disliking it into a moral issue. it's a fucking tv show.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start. Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

that characters need to be likeable or relatable. fastest way to create a world populated by bland paper cut-outs. characters need to be INTERESTING, and that can coincide with likeability but it's not the same thing

if you're not interested in spending time in the world you're writing why on earth would anyone be interested in reading about it?

i do think that one of the fundamental errors a lot of people outside of fandom make is the assumption that 'i participate in fandom for [thing]' in any way shape or form correlates to 'i think [thing] is objectively good'

it's really bafflingly hilarious to see the nonstop pearl-clutching about how women reading trashy romantasy/erotica is going to bring about the end of literacy, as if james patterson hasn't been pumping out twenty wildly popular meciocre ghost-written thrillers per year for decades

it's not the only bad thing about it, but this shit also completely ruins the culture of fandom by turning it into a side hustle. it's like being at a party where half of the guests want to use it as a chance to shill their multi-level marketing garbage

the key to a good fandom experience is finding 3 people you can say anything to and then never give a flying fuck about anyone else’s opinion

Fentanyl is very much like a weapon of mass destruction in the sense that Republicans like to lie about finding it and then use that lie as a justification to do ruinous, destructive things

that sounds nightmarish, and also: taste changes over time. i read things now that i never would have touched as a teenager; conversely, some books that i loved back then no longer really speak to me. this is a recipe for stagnation and a refusal to engage with art in any meaningful way
