The possibility that 'YA' as a category name is obsolete goes unmentioned, but whatever: phys.org/news/2025-07... Sure seems like there's subtext here that 'young adult' books are interpreted as easier reads and that's why the category is popular. It's all just capitalism at work, isn't it?

Despite its name, the young adult genre is increasingly dominated by stories about older teens and even adults. But as protagonists get older, younger readers are getting left behind, a University of ...

Online brain rot is undermining our ability to tell meaningful stories
While social media has the potential to empower storytelling, it can also spread misinformation and lead to brain rot.

Let's hear it for the farm workers who work under a UFW contract at Gallo's Santa Rosa vineyards. Their efforts - often long after midnight - make the harvest possible. When you buy wine for your #Thanksgiving table look for union wine at ufw.org/ul #WefeedYou

Think of two friends or family members to whom you'd normally give a book this season and replace the book with a one-year subscription to a literary magazine. I don't know why more people don't do this, especially for readers who love short stories and poems. Support those journals! It's a win-win!

for all the hype about that dumb boxing match that my screens have been littered with for the past week or so, I've seen almost zero complaints about it being the most ridiculously overhyped thing in American media ever. Just a complete goddamn snoozer. Consumers should be mad.

Over the last couple days I've been reflecting on how sensitive our nostalgia button is as a species, and how gross it is that the entertainment industry leverages that to extract cash from us. I guess I'm mad about it, but what can you do besides unplug completely? MAKE YOUR OWN SCENE <3

The message that I've received clearest of all over the course of the last week is that violence IS in fact the answer. That's something that's tough to adjust to after a life of being taught & believing otherwise. I guess it's time to turn into gremlins, babies

I get knee deep into these overlong pieces about how voters are making complicated voting decisions about "the economy" or "inflation" and they NEVER mention stuff like the fact that 54% of the U.S. operates at a 6th grade reading level, or their news and information diet is raw sewage
