In fact, we’re removing the separation between audience and art, as well as author and reader. Now if you read about murder, you can be charged for murder, and also you have to share your dental plan with the writer. 144971

Reposted by Tertium QuidSarah Clarke - Not your doll @damselindystopia.northsky.social · 27/09/2026The moral panic around estrangement is backlash against the small amount of cultural progress we have made for familial abuse survivors.
