Heads up peeps, particularly artist peeps. Linktree is partnering with Opensea in an attempt to start a Web3 baseline. Lotta words just meaning NFTs. Opensea is notorious for scouring artists’ pages for mint fodder, even moreso for dragging feet and delaying removing works that were minted without creators’ consent to try and get the sale. If you use Linktree, I recommend wiping your profile now and finding an alternative.
No longer is this about the rights of students to access books. It’s now about the rights of private businesses to sell books. Anderson suggests this is a new avenue for parents to fight.
“We are in a major fight. Suits like this can be filed all over Virginia. There are dozens of books. Hundreds of schools,” he said.
Holy shit this is a BIG FUCKING WARNING SIGN. Challenges to school and public libraries aren’t cool obviously, but they’re not unusual and we have a framework for handling them. This is something new and alarming in a whole new way
Republican “free speech” y'all and don’t you forget it.
This is a direct challenge to the freedom of the press and if it isn’t struck down at the first hurdle we need to make sure it never sees the second one.
On the miniscule off-chance that anyone who sees my reblog might be thinking “oh, it’s just queer books that they’re trying to ban” - A Court of Mist and Fury is a het romance. It is a het romance containing het sex scenes, written by a straight white woman.
People have been warning all along that the right-wing thought police were never going to stop with queer lit or ‘woke’ lit, and that every time they got an inch they were going to take a mile until they’d banned absolutely everything that didn’t conform to their strict right wing fundamentalist Christian views. If you were waiting for proof of that, here it is.
imagine opening the newspaper over your morning coffee and the first article is a piece by your wife about how much she fucking hates you
Oh god I just looked this up and it’s…worse than I was anticipating tbh like it’s literally just a bunch of aimless complaining about stuff her husband does that annoys her and also her smug disdain for the idea of someone not hating their spouse is killing me
I kept waiting for it to be satire but it just. Never was satire
lady I think this might have something to do with why you’re having problems
it’s like. her problems with him mostly seem like a petty list of random annoyances. that have no fucking business being an Article. an op-ed. this should be like. a text message. to your husband. an conversation……
instead of an op-ed for the new york times
like, his snoring is keeping her awake, why,,,,,, doesn’t she just SAY THAT,,,, instead of writing…an article in the new york times………like. just talk. just use your big person adult words.
maybe get a divorce, idk.
maybe even let me have him.
SHE’S WRITING A MEMOIR ABOUT HER MARRIAGE?
Is it just me, or is it weird how Straight People™ will talk about marriage like it is fundamentally, deeply different than all other relationships, some kind of numinous torture that can’t be stopped or adjusted or examined in a productive way?
Coexisting in the same space, in the same life, with a person, displaying all your flaws, is irritating and messy and hard! But I can’t imagine relating to how fraught and intense and distressing this woman’s relationship seems.
My most long-lasting people are also those with whom my relationship modulates and buffers its own highs and lows the most. Being flung into extremes of emotion is something I associate with my most toxic, unhealthy relationships, and it has a lot to do with the inherent instability and the sense of trying to constantly wrestle with the relationship, being cast from hope to dread about it, not being given clarity or being able to communicate with the other person.
With any healthy relationship I find there’s a very calm bedrock. You know that you can talk to the person, that they will listen to you, that you are both prepared to meet each other with understanding and grace. You might be annoyed with the person, but you can just say it without letting annoyance build forever.
y’all were robbed, I’m so effing sorry. I stopped watching this show years ago (a literal decade actually my god) but I loved Cas and he was done so dirty. regardless of how things ended up no shitty ending can rob him of his icon status and what he means to the fan base. Carry on my dudes, you were brave to continue on to the end, well done (sorry no rainbow wings, I’m just a lazy pos )
