I just saw someone say "we support the books, not the author," and while death of the author is a useful lens for criticism, if the author is still alive and a position to collect royalties, supporting the books is supporting the author.

You harassed and misgendered my wife for two weeks solid, lied about an obvious joke she made that was a variation on "don't threaten me with a good time," called her an incel, were racist about her religion, and compared me, a Black person, to a white supremacist murderer.
Got there in the end. Seriously though, I would LOVE a chance to talk to The Last Leg’ about what Pink News and the like have put me and my family through over the last year.

It is weird to me how much "authenticity" some people demand when PoC create fantasy, when there's plenty of vaguely European epic fantasy with 12th century armor, 13th century politics, 14th century castles, wide use of potatoes and tobacco, and time-hopping fashion

Octavia E. Butler was the first sci-fi writer to win a Macarthur Fellowship two years before Philosopher's Stone. Toni Morrison won the Nobel Prize for Literature four years before. Pearl S. Buck won it *61* years before. Edith Wharton was dead for a year before Buck won.

Hi, I worked in youth homelessness in Britain for 8 years. The first sentence is a lie, and most of what follows after is also untrue.
The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

Orson Welles gave absolutely perfect line readings in a cartoon he clearly did not give a shit about, and I think there are worse ways to go out than remaining a consummate professional.

Nope. The squid looking ones are Quarren. Mon Calamari are clearly vertebrates with nostrils whose mouths are supported by a jaw. No chitinous rostrum. They have what appears to be modified fins. They do not have sucker-lined arms or reproductive tentacles.

Apparently Acqua Toffana was a real life Iocane powder that was responsible for the lingering sickness and decline of hundreds of abusive husbands in the 1600s. They eventually executed Giulia Toffana, but it's my contention she should have been canonized.

As an adult, I have only lived in one place that had a dishwasher that wasn't a sink.

I don’t want to read fanfic. I don’t want to watch porn. I want to see Bad Education, and A Dirty Shame, and Brokeback Mountain, and fuck it, Showgirls without their narratives stripped of meaning and color because *you* don’t like it.
Besides, if you want sex, the internet has you covered and offers anything from hardcore porn to fanfic which adds in the explicit sex scenes that many movies and TV shows don't have these days, though often featuring pairings that you'd rarely have seen in the actual content.

I'm not sure you understand what a "genre" is. Blazing Saddles and Unforgiven are the same genre.
I just don’t know how we got to this point. It’s the same thing as painting all legal dramas as the same. Or fantasies. Or gangster films. Or musicals. Or biopics. “Superhero film” isn’t even a genre! Like saying BLADING SADDLES and UNFORGIVEN are the same “genre.” (They’re not.)
