If we want to get serious about addressing declining literacy rates in the US, we gotta stop shaming people for what and how they read. Speaking as someone who has personally struggled, shame is a sure fire way to kill any enthusiasm and curiosity toward reading, which kills any ambition to learn.

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News.
Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

Also reminder to romance authors that we only shoot ourselves in the foot if we try to play the "but we're not porn" game. Those of us who write hot/queer already get clipped on a regular basis, but nothing is "respectable" enough. Your turn WILL come.
Reminder that defending porn is an absolute requirement for the right to free speech. you will lose all autonomy trying to scrub uncomfortable content.

After Patron blocked my latest review, I tried to write about censorship. Then I tried to write about aesthetics and the sexual politics of fiction.
What I ended up capturing was the violent silence of the moment - the grief and helpless fury of living in a world that marches on toward genocide ⬇️

Good morning to everybody but especially @vajra.me whose novel Rakesfall is out in paperback today.
After Saint of Bright Doors, this was always going to be an instant buy for me!
A haunting, strange, mind-bending tale of survival and reincarnation, with Sri Lankan roots.
Can't wait!

Offloading responsibility for the climate crisis onto individuals as consumers does fuck all to move the needle, and shifts the blame away from actual polluters - corporations, shipping, governments - while allowing them to continue to boil us all alive.

Realizing that most video content from artists that does well sells the aesthetic IDEA of being an artist more than the art itself. The art is incidental

We need a revolutionary, visionary, aspirational left that isn't a personality cult and is more interested with real problems than appearances and PR. We need faith that stepping up for unpopular causes (migration, trans rights, etc) can change public perceptions of them rather than be a liability.

People really love and want to see the old style Renaissance paintings.

We could undo this!
We know how, it's not complicated.
If you want more oil paintings, oil painters need to be subsidized.
Rinse and repeat for every medium.
You want art?
PAY ARTISTS TO MAKE IT THEN.

Why do some places still have their traditional artisans making their traditional arts and we don't?
Because those places bothered to make sure their traditional artists could MAKE ENOUGH TO EAT
AND WE DID NOT.

The unfortunate reality is it takes a fascist a few seconds to lie or break the rules, but it takes honest people several orders of magnitude longer to disprove that lie or fight back against rule breaking within the system.
