Decided I wanted to make it a goal to read every unread book I owned by this time next year and started making a spreadsheet to catalogue them all...

There's 36 of them and over 12,000 pages (not including comics).

I have a lot of work to do.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

"The closer a woman is to the ideal, the more power she might have access to... Republican women see this, and adhere to it, in order to align themselves with power and protect themselves from discrimination. In doing so, they reinforce the very systems of discrimination they seek protection from."

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

And poc! Years ago, when a tornado shut down the food bank my church usually donated to, the church treasurer put together a list of alternatives for us to vote on which she specifically divided into "white" and "black" communities.

Guess what category the ones that won were from.
i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

A very @onefeincat.bsky.social style thought but considering they're both working class crews that have to deal with a murderous creature invading their living space and bodies- would the crew of the Nostromo be able to take on The Thing and would the McMurdo boys fare any better against The Alien?

Ok, let's say for the sake of a shitty argument that having a Y chromosome makes one innately better at high school basketball and it is unfair for one to play on the XX team.

Then the question becomes: How violated are you willing to let your child be in order to uphold this idea of fairness?
I'm sorry, but there absolutely ARE legitimate concerns.

A kid with XY chromosomes who identifies as female but hasn't medically transitioned in any way is a trans kid. And THAT SPECIFIC trans kid probably should not be playing on the girl's basketball team despite their identification as female.
Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.

To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.

Literally when we saw that Fragile was "cured" of her old woman body, I said "Kojima abhors an ugly woman".

He can be a genius in a lot of ways, but at the end of the day he still falls prey to classic gender stereotypes and storytelling.

In Death Stranding 2 gender essentialism is load-bearing. Men are one way, women are another way, and these roles are immutable, writes Maddy Myers.

Having finally looked up the Drag-U-La, I am absolutely perplexed as to how one is supposed to "slam in the back" of it. There is no back????

Winter Tide is one of my favorite books in general, not just of the Lovecraft reimaginings. It's clever, compelling, and a beautiful way to recontextualize the Innsmouth mythos. 10/10 would recommend.
Winter Tide is for sale at all the ebook vendors today, I'm told. Come and getcher Cthulhoid crises of faith, terrible library loan policies, and ancient horrors stuck teaching Freshman math!

I really want someone to grab the giant prime bottle and just bonk their opponent with it. I assume it's hollow and would make a very satisfying "thonk". Missed opportunity #wwe

Drew McIntyre looks like he should be the problematic love interest in a romantasy novel.

Like, I have never read any of those dark fae smut books, but I feel instinctively like if there was a movie adaptation, Drew should be cast in them.

Time to live post through the Met Gala. To start, we have Pharrell, who looks fine, but I was expecting more from a co-chair. I've seen him in better looks.

Actually excited for the Met Gala tonight. Hopefully the theme will mean that the menswear won't be boring as fuck like it usually is.

While it does suck to be one of only like 5 ppl still masking at the airport (and definitely the only one with something as heavy duty as an envo pro), it does mean that everyone assumes I'm so deathly ill and/or weird that I always end up with a free seat next to me even on a nearly full flight.
