TikTok creator @lizabookrecs had a question: When did BookTok become political? It was in the hours after Donald Trump had won the election for US president and the subset of TikTok that likes to talk about literature was already starting to fracture. People had started unfollowing fellow BookTokkers whose views didn’t align with their own—mostly people who’d expressed support for Trump—and a lively debate was growing about whether or not the space was a political one. In her post, @lizabookrecs professed, “We don’t need politics ruining a good thing we have going.”

By the following Monday, it seemed as though this crumbling of BookTok had already come to pass.

Unfollow lists, sometimes called red lists, began to circulate. In response, some creators posted that they were beginning to follow red-listed creators as a show of support. Creators asked Trump-supporting followers to get lost. For every person claiming that an online community built around discussing books shouldn’t be a community for discussing politics, there was another person pointing out that most great works of literature have at least some perspective on societal affairs. “You voted for this future,” TikTok user @_onesteph said, holding up a copy of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

A few folks stitched @lizabookrecs’ video, which has more than 100,000 views so far and echoed the sentiments of several TikTok users, to respond. Romance novelist J.J. McAvoy likened the post to violence: “When someone tells you, ‘This space is not for’ whatever it is, they are just trying to make you shut up so they can get on with pretending that everything is OK for them.”

In the week since Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris, these types of arguments have been brewing in all kinds of online communities. Often, the arguments wind their way to the same end point: If this is a corner of the internet dedicated to one form of discussion, why would people now use it to talk about politics? A fair question, but one that implies that politics doesn’t touch nearly every aspect of people’s lives and hobbies. Car enthusiasts could easily wind up talking about Elon Musk and Tesla, or overseas manufacturing, or the merits of EVs. Space enthusiasts could easily find themselves in, well, a discussion about Elon Musk and SpaceX, or privatization of spaceflight.

Books are the same—and different. While, yes, books like The Handmaid’s Tale or Atlas Shrugged or The Hunger Games series confront real political issues with fiction and allegory, many books are also the subject of political persecution of a sort. According to the American Library Association, there were 414 attempts to censor books in public, school, and academic libraries in the US between January 1 and August 31 of this year. That number is down slightly from the 695 attempts made in the same period in 2023—which saw a lot of attention focused on books by or about people of color or the LGBTQ+ community—but still far outpace the numbers in years prior to 2020. Efforts nationwide have sought to remove queer books from schools, and PEN America found that there were 10,046 instances of book bans during the 2023–24 school year. Those bans often come, according to PEN, when the guidance of educators and librarians “are overridden by school boards, administrators, or even politicians on the basis of a book’s content.”

As news of Trump’s win hit BookTok (and TikTok broadly), a narrative emerged that the new administration wouldn’t result in new book bans, one that quickly intertwined with the “BookTok shouldn’t be political” thread. As one poster claimed that smut and dark romance wouldn’t be banned, another chimed in with a stitch to point out that readers can still be concerned even if the books they enjoy aren’t specifically the ones under threat.

As Lia Shields, a creator in Colorado, notes, romance novels can also be political. As she pointed out in a TikTok that has since earned more than 13,000 views, many of the protagonists in the books she reads could one day have rights women in the US don’t. “Thankfully I live in a blue state,” she tells me, “but if I did not live in a blue state, they’d have more rights to their bodies than I do in real life. That’s frightening.”

BookTok collapsing into different factions could have long-term impacts. The platform has become a place that not only launches new authors but also brings older books to new audiences of younger readers. (Last year, TikTok held a Book Awards in the UK and Ireland; one of the nominees for Best BookTok Revivial was George Orwell’s 1984.)

A few days after the US election, author Kaleigh Michele posted a TikTok saying she’d been red -listed based on assumptions that she was a Trump supporter. “I’m a brand new author. I’ve only published one book,” the TikTok text read. “I’m currently working on three new ones and suddenly have people trying to ruin my name, my passion … If I didn’t support a party prior to this, I most definitely do now! … As for me, I’m currently adding every author ‘red listed.’” In addition to the obligatory #fyp, the post had three hashtags: #redlist, #booktok, #trump.

re:Twitter implosion for those asking (since I don't have a Tumblr and cannot respond to it) in short:El0n Musk (Telsa, SpaceX owner) recently bought the overwhelming majority of Twitter's shares, putting him in charge. Beyond him showing his whole ass, within the first 30 days or so of owning Twitter he fired the entire security team because he felt like it. In fact, 9/10 of his actions have been "he felt like it" and 1/10 of his actions have been "oh, people are laughing at me, I'll try to walk that back". 

Losing security team is extremely bad. Twitter's app could put your phone at risk as soon as there's a break in and no one will know because there's no security team. So many of us removed it from our phones. Which is the common way many people post. Then many of us on watching how Musk is treating the Twitter employees, have more conscientiously stopped using it. Either in protest or disgust or both. Many of the operating employees have left shortly afterwards.  In a week my feed went from very busy to angry to all the English speakers refusing to use it and then a few days later all the Japanese and Korean speakers also refusing to use it as news spread. People are moving to other places (Discord, Mastodon, Cohost, back to Tumblr or social media popular in their home countries). The only posters still "active" are companies (and many of them shut off their Twitter connections too!). 

Part of what I really liked about Twitter was due to it being so established and GLOBAL, it had Google Translate built into the app, so I could communicate (if a bit awkwardly) with people around the world. Other BJD owners, people who customize dolls, seamstresses. Just lots of cool people around the world all sharing their hobbies (and without the "ew, I had to talk to X-nationality" that comes up on the confessions here). Sadly most did not post where they were going to OR it got removed/banned when Musk banned talk of other social media sites.So there's the as short as I can make it. A platform that let me talk to so many people and share absolutely obliterated by a rich guy's ego. Keep on laughing at him because it's the only thing that seems to actually hurt him.

Mod: There's also a slight BJD connection with musty, one of his many partners and mothers of his children, Grimes, used a custom P0povy doll in some of her album artwork.

Perseverance: The Duct Tape of Dreams – How to Stick it Out Until You Win 

Ah, perseverance. That glorious word that sounds so inspiring in commencement speeches and motivational posters, yet feels suspiciously like chewing gravel when you're stuck in a creative rut or staring down a seemingly insurmountable to-do list.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for chasing your dreams with the ferocity of a squirrel after a particularly plump acorn. But let's be honest, the path to success is rarely paved with rose petals and unicorn sprinkles. More often, it's a pothole-ridden highway decorated with flat tires, existential dread, and the occasional rogue banana peel.

So, how do we persevere when the going gets, well, not-so-good? How do we channel our inner Rocky Balboa and punch through life's metaphorical Adrian? Fear not, weary dreamers, for I come bearing gifts: the comedically absurd yet surprisingly practical guide to sticking it out like nobody's business. better focus and concentration

Step 1: Embrace the Inner MacGyver (Because Duct Tape Fixes Everything, Right?)

Imagine your goal as a magnificent spaceship destined for the glittering nebula of achievement. You've got the blueprints, the engine humming, and enough ambition to fuel a SpaceX launch. But then, BAM! Reality throws a cosmic wrench in your plans. The engine sputters, the navigation system goes haywire, and you're left floating in the void, feeling about as useful as a chocolate teapot in a space vacuum.

This, my friends, is where the MacGyver in you steps in. Duct tape (figuratively, of course, unless you're actually building a spaceship in your garage – no judgment) becomes your weapon of choice. You use creativity, resourcefulness, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor to patch up the leaks, reroute the circuits, and keep your dream spaceship (or career, or relationship, or whatever your metaphorical vehicle may be) hurtling towards its destination.

Remember, sometimes the most ingenious solutions come from the most ridiculous places. So, channel your inner inventor, embrace the absurd, and don't be afraid to get a little (or a lot) goofy in the pursuit of your goals. After all, who says saving the world (or at least your sanity) can't be hilarious?

Step 2: Befriend the Phoenix Within (Rise from the Ashes, Baby!)

Life has a knack for throwing metaphorical flamingos at your face just when you think you've got things under control. A project flops, a relationship fizzles, and suddenly you're curled up in the fetal position, convinced you've peaked at "unemployed couch potato."

But here's the thing: setbacks are like spicy wings – they burn going down, but they leave you wanting more (of success, not wings, unless you're really into that sort of thing). They're opportunities to learn, to adapt, and to rise from the ashes like a magnificent, slightly singed phoenix.

So, next time you face a flaming flamingo (or metaphor of your choice), don't wallow in the ashes. Dust yourself off, channel your inner Beyoncé, and strut your way out of the metaphorical fire. Remember, every setback is just a push-up for your soul, making you stronger, wiser, and even more fabulous in the process.

Step 3: Weaponize Self-Deprecating Humor (Laugh in the Face of Failure, Then Punch it in the Nose)

Let's face it, sometimes the only way to deal with the absurdity of life is to laugh at it. And what better target for your comedic barbs than your own glorious failures? Self-deprecating humor is the ultimate underdog superpower. It disarms negativity, diffuses tension, and reminds you (and everyone else) that you're not taking yourself too seriously.

So, go ahead, crack jokes about your failed soufflé, your disastrous haircut, or your inability to parallel park without hitting a mailbox. Own your imperfections, laugh at your stumbles, and let the world know you're okay with not being perfect. After all, who wants to hang out with someone who takes themselves too seriously anyway? Plus, a good laugh is a great stress reliever, which can give you the mental boost you need to keep pushing forward.

Step 4: Remember, You're Not Alone in the Circus of Dreams (We're All Clowns, Just in Different Costumes)

The road to success is a crowded highway, filled with fellow dreamers juggling flaming chainsaws, riding unicycles on tightropes

Twitter Blue(s)

So Elon's reign as Twitter Technoking, ceo, owner, and Cto has gone so poorly, the man is turning into a corn cob. He tried to pick a fight with Wint, crapposter extraordinaire. As a tip don't pick fights with a satire account that has made 4 mildly successful bathroom readers from just his posts.

So let me, in my own insanity, post about Elon's time with the company and why he is the worst possible headliner for a social media company.

So Elon was forced to purchase the company after signing a purchasing contract that agreed at a certain price. He tried to waffle on the price, and got slammed into a legal vice at the Chancery Court of Delaware.

So he got some loans from... questionable parties and purchased the company after selling a lot of stock. A quick note, all of his companies are terrible, moving on. Well not quite. SpaceX isn't terrible. Isn't great, but isn't on government subsidy life support.

So Elon starts making Twitter worse. He makes the algorithm more arbitrary. Pushes his crap into everyone's feed. The worse decision is that he allowed people to pay 8$ for a verified mark, making all verified marks that we actually saw trolls. Eli Lilly lost billions in stock price after a bad actor said insulin is free.

Moving on. Elon kept tweaking the algorithm to promote him. In fact he has a special use case in the algorithm for "poster is elon". The more that people kept blocking him and his nazi "friends" the more and more he unblocked himself and kept pushing crappy changes. I don't like calling randoms nazis, but these kind of guys are literal fourth Reich kind of idiots.

What went wrong was the delusion that rich people are well liked on twitter. Elon thought people liked him.... no one does. He got booed at a Chapelle show. The crypto scam people hate him for mamipulating the currencies and not integrating their coins into twitter payments.

Remember that Musk wants to turn Twitter into X.com (several countries autobanned this) and then X.com into an actual bank. Given that the site runs so poorly, imagine giving him your money....

Every day he finds a new and interesting way to embarrass himself.

Blog Post 10 (03/24/23)

During the 10th week of ARTS246, we finished our "Same Difference Poster" I am going to use this weeks blog post to try and make a ~progress book~ for the project because we were talking about progress books in class and it would be cool to document it somewhere!

It all started out with ideas, the first things that were coming to mind when I heard the prompt, the examples I liked in class, requirements etc. Its interesting to see how many ideas I jotted down made it into my final poster, like "OUTER SPACE" being front and center.

After my idea was solidified, I moved into sketching. I based the "Present" astronaut off of those worn by SpaceX's Inspiration 4 crew, I think the sketch ended out coming out decently well, and I knew I could make adjustments once I moved digital.

I then moved to sketch the past astronaut, and I wanted to contrast the modern day, so I wanted to old suit to look worn, and a little bit dirty. Additionally, the suit is much bulkier than those worn in the modern day which provides another nice contrast.

I then moved digital for the first time. I originally planned on filling in the illustrations with color, but I thought they popped really well on the background with just the outline, so I decided to stick with it.

My first three iterations of the poster look the same, besides the letter spacing in "SPACE" at the top. I had a tough time in this project understanding kerning and how to make my type look correct and be spaced nicely. I learned a lot and would continue to change it as I worked more on the project.

The feedback I got on this poster is that each element seemed to hold equal importance, "SPACE" the astronauts themselves, and "SAME DIFFERENCE". I needed to put a larger focus on the illustration and give the viewer something easier to look at.

Iterations 4,5&6 enlarged the astronauts, and is where I spent most of my time focusing on the placement. I also tried to make the astronauts glow to further pop of the page but they ended up just looking very washed out, so I removed that in version 6. Within these versions I found how to create more uniform hierarchy within my poster and would lead me to the final product:

"Space7" ended up being my final poster, I think it ended up being a pretty good project, people liked the homage to TIME and its the first time I have really like something that I desired that was primarily illustration. This was easily my favorite project so far this year and I am happy with my final product!

I really enjoyed seeing all the projects in the book this week that were Black & White. I often struggle incorporating color into my projects well and it was cool to see some projects without any color at all!
