Mine is that the main reason people hate CATCHER IN THE RYE is that their teachers make them read it in highschool without ever connecting the dots for them that Holden Caulfield is a victim of child abuse & rape, so many inexperienced readers end up thinking he's just a whiny asshole.

buy my book @nmamatas.bsky.social · 1d

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

This monster design is so horny

A Living Statue from dragon quest complete - a grey statue of a very muscular man with one big nipple showing, an arm up so you can see his armpit and one of his giant feet outstretched so you can see the sole. You can also see his underwear under his loosely draped toga. He also had a handlebar mustache.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Both the US & British center left are hoping that a brief cessation in the war on Gaza will return perceptions of the issue to the status quo ante, but as Professor Shibley Telhami has noted that is is basically impossible now.

A whole generation now sees Israel as having committed genocide.

POLITICO Europe @politico.eu · 1d

Labour MPs reckon that if the ceasefire holds it will be harder for opponents to mobilize against them over the Israel-Palestine issue in the next election. There are concerns though about whether the fragile agreement will hold. More in London Playbook PM.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

It's all part of the greater conservative project to rewrite history so that no atrocity is ever the result of a moral failing, merely a "product of its time".

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Also, all the people he tortured, raped, enslaved and mutilated were also people of their time. I suspect if anything they felt rather *more* strongly that Columbus was a bad person than even the most fingerwagging person on Bluesky does.

Always worth thinking who we count as "of their time".

🌟Hello #PortfolioDay 🌟
I'm Tiffany, an illustrator primarily working with the fantastical & historical especially in ttrpgs and books. I'm available for commercial & private work from mid Nov!

Portfolio: www.tiffanybaxter.com

A black and white ink illustration of a scowling early 19th century housekeeper holding a lamp stood within an open gothic arch doorway. The doors are elaborately carved with natural motifs such as the Green Man. The stone above has carvings of wolves.

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent. They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

An intimate scene at a party in 17th century France. Two vampire women gaze at each other, holding hands at a card table. They are radiant in pink, drops of blood on their lace. Around them other party goers in purple-blue, wearing half-masks, oblivious to the true nature of the women. Behind an intricate decorated mantlepiece in warm pale gold.

A square sticker of a silvery-blue medieval inspired unicorn curled up asleep. It's on a gold matte shine background with a red border decorated with curved white lines and dots. It rests on a backdrop of a Richard Dadd painting of fairies.
