If he wants to be an asshole, it's a free country. Millions before him have made the same life choice.

“All it takes,” said Crake, “is the elimination of one generation. One generation of anything. Beetles, trees, microbes, scientists, speakers of French, whatever. Break the link in time between one generation and the next, and it’s game over forever.”

Utah Begins The School Year By Banning 13 Books, Including Works by Margaret Atwood and Judy Blume #Books #Politics #Censorship #Writers #Creators

It’s that time of the year again, kids going back to school and as always, we have another statewide book ban on our hands. That’s right, the Utah State Board of Education has begun the school year by ordering schools to begin removing 13 books that include works by Judy Blume, Rupi Kaur, Sarah J. Maas, Margaret Atwood, and other authors for content that the state has deemed to be pornographic or…

albums i like to fall asleep to sometimes + why

(in no particular order, i just thought that compiling a list would be fun & a good look into my music taste (as if anybody asked for it))

also kinda doubles as a topster

crusher - jeremy zucker (super solid pop album imo, the mix is very soft and easy to relax to)

speed run (or spiral) - frost children (it’s very fun and silly but also the sound that lulu prost is able to achieve itches a certain part of my brain that nothing else does)

apple - a.g. cook (i don’t know how i do this actually but it just soothes my brain as well)

marriage - oryx & crake (just a brilliant album from a band i take pride in being the only person i know who knows about them)

floral green - title fight (classic)

hey what - low (i love noise & the harmony that only a married couple can make)

e - ecco2k (beautiful and exquisite and somewhat eerie but perfect for super late at night)

thank u, next - ariana grande (nostalgia factor + general ethereality)

aldn’s whole discography tbh (don’t know why, don’t ask)

the battle at gardens gate - greta van fleet (very pretty & very solid rock record)

something to give each other - troye sivan (dancey but also insightful and also produced and mixed beautifully)

Yes, it's a "Creation of Adam" reference. Yes, I had to trace God/Crake's hand because I was struggling with the anatomy, learning how to digitally paint, and making the deadline for a class project. Yes, you should go read Oryx and Crake.

Climate Fiction, or Cli-Fi, is a branch of literature that deals with the effects of climate change on human society. Here are a few of the Climate Fiction books we have in our collection.

The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich

Dry by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman

Life as We Knew It by Beth Pfeffer

[thirdactkerfuffle]

Oryx and Crake centers around two dramatically different worldviews.

On the one hand you have Snowman, who embodies complete passivity towards the status quo. He desperately avoids taking any personal responsibility for his role in society.

On the other hand, Crake embodies a desire to overthrow a less-than-ideal status quo through any means necessary. He takes unilateral responsibility for society upon himself.

And they both suck.

After everything that's happened, how can the world still be so beautiful? Because it is.
