How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

seeing a lot of "idc if an abuser does" type of takes and I'm sorry but no I don't agree actually. like if you believe in things like forgiveness and prison abolition etc then what we should want to happen in a situation like this, a situation where someone went through a lot of fucked up stuff as a teenager and then DID some fucked up stuff in their 20s what should happen is they apologize to their victims, take some time to reflect and learn, step away from fame, and then go on to live a long happy life with their families. that should be the goal. not this. this is just horrible all around. his death does not erase or heal anything that his victims went through and if anything is probably just going to amplify and exacerbate their trauma. I feel horrible for everyone involved and I don't think it's right to be celebrating anything.

Liam Payne’s death would literally have shattered my 16 year old self. It still feels unreal to think that a huge part of your teenage life, part that shaped your teenage years, is forever gone. I’ve grown a lot since then, but I’m still shocked and still having a hard time processing that this is real and that he’s gone. Never in a million years had my teenage self thought it would end this soon, especially like this.

(I’m aware of the accusations against him and I in no way make excuses for him, as I’m aware that while he was a big part of my life, I didn’t personally know him and I’d never say “he would never do that” because, as I said, I didn’t know him.)

It’s tragic because from what things look like, he was struggling and he needed the help that I wish he could have been given.

Again, his death does not erase the pain he’s allegedly caused his previous partner and other people. So as tragic as his death is, it’s absolutely vile to see some people harass both his girlfriend and his ex and accuse them of despicable things without any proof. You’re allowed to be angry, you’re allowed to be broken, you’re allowed to be confused, you’re allowed to be devastated, you’re allowed to grieve and mourn, but you’re not allowed to harass anybody. Let’s do better and be kinder

Multiple truths can exist at once;

BookTok getting people into reading is good; BookTok is not single-handedly responsible for why people struggle with literacy in the internet age.

BookTok *sometimes* gives indie, self-pub, and lesser-known authors a needed boost.

BookTok turning books into an easy, breezy commodity and frequently promoting a limited number of books based on aesthetics and surface-level premises alone is concerning.

A lot of people are coming away from BookTok recs disappointed by the shallowness of some of the stories they are being rec’d.

A lot of critiques of BookTok are just as shallow (“tropes are bad! mentioning rep is queerbaiting! if I don’t like it then I compare it to fanfiction! give me a full-length summary in every mention of the book or I will assume there is no plot!”)

People often use critique of BookTok shallowness as an excuse to harass small authors (who sometimes aren’t even on BookTok?) for trying to promote or discuss their books at all.

People can and should seek out alternate book rec venues to BookTok, especially if BookTok disappoints them.

yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

larries are insane and pathetic and every single thing Louis said is unfortunately right. he’s so tired of you all and you cannot even comprehend it because you are psychos that will never give up this alternative world you’ve created

Hey guys! _iicfhome_28 on twitter has created a Google Form to get an accurate perception of the different fan demographics in Louis' fanbase due to the media's skewed perception of it. I said I'd share it here in hopes to get a more accurate representation of Louis' fans. No personal information is collected and it is completely anonymous 🫶

* didnt know how to sum this up well but like from what generation was the most recent person to immigrate to your country from, from your direct line (parents, grandparents etc) so if your mother’s parents immigrated and your father immigrated directly then it would be a parent (your father)

pls reblog for sample size etc

follow for more occasional useless polls :)
