a lot of "dark academia" stuff is just the author wanting to tell you that they went to a good school but they're not like those other people there, but I think "The Secret History" really does get at the gulf between idealized humanities and moral reality.
But I don't think it makes you a *morally* better person. It might be one of the ways your morality is shaped or the language you use to express it, but it's a vessel, not the substance. We do not, after all, think of professors of English Literature as an unusually virtuous bunch.

Y’all ever notice that trans women aren’t allowed to be a little annoying or mean without having some social indictment keyword lobbed at them

A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.
Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

Hello, hi. I am glad you like my content. However, I must insist that if you intend to watch the Harry Potter TV show, for whatever reason, you don't get to enjoy my content as well. Please unfollow.

If you value entertainment over the ruination of trans lives, you don't get to enjoy us.

I switched to this and @bookshop.org for every book, ebook, and audiobook purchase where they have what I want - which is 99% of them -- and the apps are great, and I get to support a local bookstore. It's all win here, folks.
If you happen to be looking for an alternative audiobook listening platform, there are many out there, including us at Libro.fm 👋

We aim to build community in many ways, including by supporting independent bookshops with every purchase you make—versus tearing communities apart.

We had a feeling the press would love the first findings from our survey - and we’ve been getting some wonderful coverage! Take a look at the press page on our website to see how it’s been reported so far.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help!

Overwhelmed by the reaction to Survivors, the documentary Rob Nevitt and I have been working on for @severinfilms.bsky.social on the making and legacy of Threads. Thanks to @dianearodgers.bsky.social for a fun Q&A after the premiere. To steal a joke from @reecedinsdale.bsky.social: we had a blast.
