oh no my pornography is turning into an angst-filled character study

I’m not even an anti-internet person like I love the internet, I just get so frustrated with the passive way people have become accustomed to using it now. not actively seeking things out or engaging with communities, just turning their brain off & letting the algorithm feed them whatever it wants. & I can’t help but feel like that’s partially to blame for the current state of things (anti-“woke” backlash is easier to digest if you turn your brain off when online)

I miss being a little kid devouring the Calvin and Hobbes anthologies way past my bed time

my creative writing prof also HATES fantasy. as in if she asks for an example of symbolism in a book, and you give something from a fantasy novel, she’ll ask for an example from a “non-commercial book” instead.

I dunno man, people can have preferences, but the second you discount the artistic merit of sci fi and fantasy I stop taking your opinion seriously. and there’s such a big culture in Canada of only valuing literary fiction, to the point where one of our biggest authors, Margaret Atwood, refused for a while to classify her books as sci fi or fantasy. she said they were “speculative fiction”, which is entirely separate and very highbrow (sarcasm).

and I could go on about how Octavia Butler and Ursula Le Guin wrote books every bit as intellectual (and honestly, even more so) than their literary counterparts, but I am also an enjoyer of schlock!! I think there’s artistic merit in animorphs, and in isekais where a japanese schoolgirl reincarnates into a magical spider who has to level up like it’s a video game! it’s like with everything, you can’t draw a clean line that separates ‘art’ from ‘non-art’ or even ‘lesser art’, and pretending you can do so just makes you look ignorant and goofy. in my opinion.

Gotta admit the headline is a banger.

New York police officer fires his .38 service revolver at almost point-blank range into a piece of bulletproof glass, with a very brave test subject behind it, 1931.

Put my gun in my mouth in the middle of O'Connell street and some culchie child said it looked like I was blowing a dude. He said my lip placement on the barrel was to fellatioesque, normally a comment like this would make me kill myself, however I am too embarrassed to and so I simply left the city on a train

My favorite Chinese meme is just this ninja throwing a brick. I have no idea what it means but I use it all the time

Walking into a room full of friends and going "Hey guys I was thinking about succumbing to nostalgia and building my politics around a mythologized idyllic past filled with heroic martyrs who die for their Wifes" and they all tackle me to the ground like I just brought a lit cigarette to an oil rig

Even if you were a difficult child, you didn't deserve to be hurt.
