Remember rice cakes? Remember when we were eight years old and our moms all put us on a diet of rice cakes because they said we were too fat because we weighed more than a teen figure skater she saw on TV? What a time.

*Other Black people*: "Ha ha, white people don't season their food!"
*Me, a single tear running down my cheek as a recall the saltless years, the NoSalt years, the gimmick diets, and the general lack of flavor that defined my childhood.*: "Yes. White people. Ha ha."

It's also probably my favorite era of American literature but I have to give a ton of disclaimers and warnings when I recommend that stuff.

Like if someone says this about 15-20 years, they usually have beef with the depiction of race, gender, sexuality, sexual assault, and other problematic stuff or with the lack of representation, but 1975 is dead in the center of the 70s, imo American literature's most unwoke era.

This attitude is silly on its face, but like, 50 years? 1975? That's your line? It honestly makes more sense to me when people say this kind of thing but limit it to 15 or 20 years, 'cause at least then you get a sense of a coherent ideological project.

Saw an old-fashioned "women should date men who are nice to them" type MRA in the wild, like spotting an ancient beast from times long past skulking in the mist.

The upside of being a dramatic person is that a life filled with conflict and struggle is, in fact, good actually.

Neoliberalism is kind of a vibes-based term to begin with, but the way people use it only now is even more vibes-based than that.

One day I think I'll make a collage of all the times I've seen the idea of Black trans art raised as a self-evident example of woke run amok, either as empty "identity politics" on the left or as undeserved anti-meritocratic DEI slop on the center/right.
