No Toni, no bell hooks, no Zora, no Ellison, no Stephen Graham Jones, no Erdrich, no Butler, no Jemisin. People like these liberals and their all white literary canon cosplay as revolutionary while actively perpetuating the systems they are claiming to rebel against.

Had the thought "Letterboxd 4 but paintings" and realized this is too hard a Q, too many paintings! I tried! Limited to figurative to narrow it down. What are yours?

We want to replace every interaction you may have ever had with another human being for the rest of your pathetic loser life, but trust us, we are NOT usage maxing.

All posting reading lists like this tells me is that you’ve probably never read a book by a person of color.

The business acumen you lack by kowtowing to fascists. Fascists don’t buy things. They don’t pay for things. Greed and money hoarding is a core tenant of fascism. Be it newspapers, movies, TV shows, or video games. The fascists love to complain about them very loudly, but they are NOT your customers

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

First he says that WAP is unrealistic because he wife doesn’t need a ‘bucket and a mop’ now he says this painting looks like nothing. I think he’s slow rolling the announcement that he’s still very much a virgin.

Because being pissed off about this kind of stuff makes them a lot of money and allows them to never be actually productive members of society.

He doesn’t. This is a man whose pits smell like sulfur, what little hair he has left sticks to his head with month’s worth of grease, and he never leaves his house because then he wouldn’t be able to post every five minutes.

If there’s one voice I’ve found infinitely interesting when it comes to seeing all sides of the AI arguments for YEARS now, it has been Ken Liu. His short story work on the singularity, specifically in the story Staying Behind, has really shaped how I view technology. Excited for a full novel on it.

It's launch day for the US edition of ALL THAT WE SEE OR SEEM!

What is the future for human art in the age of AI? What kind of AI is actually helpful? These are some of the questions driving this techno-thriller.

Get it from wherever you prefer to get your books.

Yesterday was Indigenous People’s day, so today I’m going to tell you to read one of my stories. Based on the Bear Mountain Indian Mission school where Monacan children were sent to erase our language and culture, Mother Tongue takes a hard look at that horror.

YA shouldn’t exist as a separate category—it infantilizes teenagers who can/should just read regular books for adults. And don’t get me started on adults reading YA…
