I like how the death of literacy is because tumblr users watch kids cartoons and not that we live in a capitalist hellscape where you don't own what you have and curating your internet space to include anything of substance is increasingly inaccessible

#sorry im thinking abt the ppl who post abt this #obviously im biased im the kids show enjoyer im gonna say im not the problem #but like I have to pirate most of the books I read because my library doesn't have much available online and going into town is a bit of #an ordeal not factoring in that ebooks are way more accessible for my dyslexia and brightness sensitivity (and also need to be lying down #most of my day bc. bad back)#and I'm literally IN A HIGHLY WALKABLE ACCESSIBLE TOWN #I'm not defending ppl who r like #wow this real life problem is just like my blorbos #but thats not a kids media exclusive L and more importantly if you want people to read more you gotta make it like. appealing #like u gotta qctually hype up reading but ur so irony poisoned it's always the wrong kind of book or they're not engaging with it correctly #and if they do it exactly like you want but then don't make it their entire personality then clearly they're just doing it for your approval #I think the 2000s going so hard on reading and being a kid who reads that it becomes a special chosen one heroic not like other girls trait #was a mistake bc now a bunch of 20 somethings think that they're single handedly saving their generation from degeneracy #by like calling their peers cringy #this wasn't prompted by anyone btw im just thinking of old posts on here
