I feel very fannishly fallow atm. Didn't know if it's good or bad. The falling-out I had a little bit ago kind of halted my last fixation in its tracks, and I haven't gotten momentum for anything since. But I'm busy doing other stuff so I don't feel an ache yet. We'll see what time brings.

One of the reasons why I don't enjoy self proclaimed villain/bad guy fans is because they're not... actually? They're woobifyers masquerading as lovers of the loathsome. You can tell bcuz they enter a frothy rage at even the mildest reminder that the guy is bad, does bad things... and is still hot

You ever watch something and you go " Hm this has potential for a really unhinged fic" but it doesn't exist yet - and you're not attached enough to the source canon to decide whether you want to be the one to write it?

I will say, this INABILITY to read for context goes hand in hand with a REFUSAL to read for context. I have been dealing with it, and have been watching other (predominantly black or queer) pop culture or fandom commentators deal with it for over a decade, where audiences decide they know better

Point being, and I am a negroni in here, that if an *artistic representation* of a humanised AI has made you feel fuzzy towards actual AI, you have missed the point by some hundred miles. Be fuzzy towards the brilliant writers.

It's very clear that companies are generating racist and sexist controversy as a brand strategy, e.g., Sydney Sweeney, Converse.

Every time I rewatch the netflix Lost in Space series, I'm reminded how extremely competent the writing is. It's not groundbreaking, but it's entertaining, the characters are consistent while showing steady growth, & the narrative weaves multiple chains of cause and effect together very believably!

We cannot truly build coalitions nor communities, nor learn and grow as individuals, within digital architectures where the only friction we experience is by being exposed to other people who piss us off all the time for engagement metrics.

Thinking about celebrity and the difference between social capital and cultural capital. "Social capital" is when the networks of people around you like you and want to be around/work with you. "Cultural capital" is when you have weight/fame in The Public Eye.

I think contemporary romance isn't for me, alas. I gave a new one a shot bc I was told it had an older woman who pegs a younger himbo but (a) it's told from his pov not hers (yawn) and (b) it feels like it's missing something. It's too rushed, too flat. ALAS.

My thing with HP merch on display (being sold, worn, etc) is that when I see it, I cannot tell if the maker/wearer/seller/etc is "separating the art from the artist"* or if they really are just dandy with my trans wife being the target of abject violent bullshit.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

right like, there is a useful way to say "this argument isn't fully thought out" or even just "i disagree with your conclusions" without saying "you are stupid." and if you want to create a community of any kind, it is crucial to learn how to do that.

There's something off about the production design and politics of Dune Prophecy. It neither feels like it's less than 250 years after humanity was ground into subservience by machines nor a full 10,000+ years before the first Dune book.

the problem with the sex purge movie is it tries to make heterosexuality appealing and ✨forbidden✨ and that's why everyone finds it off-putting and confusing. quite apart from the "reverse age of consent" thing although that is also confusing and off-putting

Why is there another season of Ted Lasso. It had a solid ending? Not my favorite, but it didn't leave all that many loose ends*... I say this while *watching* the first ep of the new season, btw. It isn't selling me on itself quite as it should.
