Thing that's relatively inconsequential, I guess, but still annoys the fuck out of me: Romance bookshops that keep all the queer romances in an LGBTQ section while het romances get sorted into their actual subgenres.

I would be on board with some home automation if it were a closee system, but everything requires a fucking internet-connected app and why tf would I want corporations knowing more about me than they already do.

In Ray Bradbury's story "The Veldt", a couple allow their fully automated house, complete with a nursery that brings to life anything it's occupants imagine, to raise their children. Eventually the children imagine lions into existence to eat their parents.

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

And this is the heart of neoliberalism by the way, the idea that people exist to serve the economic system rather than the other way around Anyway, notably some mathematicians are resisting while physicists seem to be going buck wild with excitement about GenAI 🥴

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

You would think romance is the only genre containing poorly written novels based on how people talk about it. There has never been a mediocre scifi or mystery novel.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

this is the thing. the process of critical analysis of text, self-reflection, contextualization etc. is considered "woke" and "anti-western" because suppression of anything reflective or analytical is necessary to the project of fascism. this is why LLMs are so popular in edu rn too. i hate it here

I think we should push back against this belief that rape survivors have to share all the gory details to be taken seriously. Does it accomplish the intended goal of making people sympathetic or does it just feed the public's appetite for other people's trauma?

Sorry to disappoint everyone but I actually think cruelty is rarely the primary goal. It is usually a tool in service of something else. When you conclude the cruelty is the point, what critical thinking are you choosing not to do?

It's not news to me that a lot of folks think only stupid empty-headed girls enjoy romance, and tbh I think we all have more important things to do than taking the same tired as fuck cheap shots at romance authors and readers.

I'm sorry that your groupchat called you a bad feminist for getting your legs waxed but sooner or later you're going to have to accept that that's not the same thing as the pervasive, all-encompassing pressure on all women to marry a man and raise kids.

It is actually not productive to have to constantly remind everyone that women are allowed to date men, trans people are allowed to not transition and that the discomfort they feel with views that run counter to the hegemony is not actually equivalent to society's entrenched biases and violences.

Purely a vibes-based theory from reading too many of his novels and published letters, but I don't think John Le Carré was straight.
