unfortunately, none of it makes any sense. A graphic scene of horses consuming an elderly couple will unsettle many readers
why do people keep writing 900 page history books on subjects i'm curious about. break that shit up. end on a cliffhanger

that tumblr post about (woodrow) wilson and (edward) house is all fun and games until the book you're reading yourself reaches the wilson years

my city is likely a little larger in area and population than the classic period mayan city-state tikal (/yax mutal?) at its peak and yet has zero jaguar temples

we should have a fad of puritan-style names for kids but from academic texts instead of the bible. this is my daughter Contested Spaces Winthrop. Imaginaries Ashe. Cross-Disciplinary Analysis Adams. but those get too popular so people start panicking and naming their kids Velar Nasal and Phonotactic

i'm not saying it changed me in ways that were especially interesting but i'm not sure i ever really recovered from gary paulsen's anecdote in woodsong about seeing a squirrel tear a chipmunk's throat out
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

contemplating a belief system where the more books you die still in the process of reading, the more merit you accumulate. to die halfway through 30+ books is hero tier, 1 is an acceptable normie death, etc. if you die having finished every book you started and intended to finish: oblivion

having one of those days where i decide it's absolutely vital that i read about 200 hours' worth of history books in the next 48 hours. the patient needs unmanageable to-read lists to live

i use one of these beautiful government center bog bodies as my discord icon and for a few seconds i was looking at this like "who took this picture of me"
yesterday was the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the rediscovery of these BEAUTIFUL TRASH WIZARDS that secretly haunted the Government Center T station for SIXTY YEARS. and I hope you all take a moment this week to reflect on this important occasion.

what makes a book good isn't plot, characters, settings, etc., it's whether it displays a photo of la gallina loca from teotihuacan on one or more pages. "but my book isn't about teotihuacan it's set in the netherlands" whose fault is that

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
