I must not explain the joke. Explaining the joke is the joke-killer. I will face my followers who did not get the joke. I will permit them to pass over me and through me

think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. that there isn't their life and our life. nor your life and my life. that it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled w it as deep as entanglement goes. v neat i think.

Someone needs to say it but white gentile LGBT people.... y'all need to read books by/about cishet folks. You write off whole works by Black, brown and Jewish authors cuz "it's not gay :/"
I say this as a gay and trans person: you are LIMITING yourself doing this "I only read books by/about (white) gay/bi/etc people" like we NEED to read about other experiences not our own to expand our worldviews.
A book will have a fascinating plot and message but you're only question is "but is it gay?"
#LMAO YEAH#i went through this phase in my late teens early twenties of#man im sick of straight romance i only want gays#and i read a bunch of gay shit#and like that's not bad on its own but damn if you only consume whatever for one reason then you're only gonna get one reading out of it#like damn i love reading different books for different reasons now

if a book has 'popular on tiktok!' written on the cover i will not be reading it. i'm about to start flipping those tiktok tables in waterstones. yes this is mean and snobbish of me idc the fandom-ification of the publishing industry may be what pushes me to violence

i dont really know how to articulate this but its crazy just how many people dont even realize they dont care about female characters. all their faves are men. they never talk about girls without being led into it. and when you try to point this out to them they try to defend themselves that their faves are just the archetypes they like, despite clearly not caring when that same archetype is a woman. like i feel like at a certain point it is your problem with the common denominator if you cant find a single female character to enjoy
#this is so true#but i also have the opposite problem#i can count on one hand my male faves#if i cut all my fingers off first

If no one reads your book, it can’t change anyone but you. This is true not just of books, but of everything! If you want to change politics, you have to be an effective politician. If you want to change the world, you need power. If you want to speak, you need to convince people to listen. How many of your beliefs are you willing to sacrifice in order to be effective?
-Seth Dickinson, The Secret Design of the Traitor Baru Cormorant

'We were often taught to look for symptoms, such as rashes, in a way that I knew wouldn't appear on my own skin.' He added in a statement: 'The booklet addresses many issues that have been further exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as families being asked if potential Covid patients are ‘pale’ or if their lips ‘turned blue’. 'These are not useful descriptors for a black patient and, as a result, their care is compromised from the first point of contact. 'It is essential we begin to educate others so they are aware of such differences and the power of the clinical language we currently use.' St George's has backed the project, and even partnered Mr Mukwende with a team of lecturers to help him publish the book. The team includes Margot Turner, St George's has backed the project, teaming the pioneering student with Lecturer in Diversity and Medical Education, and Peter Tomony, a Clinical Lecturer in Clinical Skills.
