I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.
Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is a great overall explanation of why I hate Clair Obscur, and the only thing I would add is that it's not confined to the ending.
The entire game is about this, it just changes up which woman is wrong and which man is right to yell at her.

with the game awards coming up i wanna remind everyone that the message Clair Obscur sends at the end is that women can not be trusted to make decisions and that it is the duty of the men in their lives to take their agency away for their own good

I don’t believe in music but I do believe in dancing. I believe in whispers in ears and so I speak. I believe that this will be heard, well after it's needed. Well past the long nights.

everyone remembers what happened to Isabel Fall.
I think we lost some work because authors were afraid to show their weirdnesses, rough edges, to ask uncomfortable questions.
We can debate all day about who got cancelled and whether or not they deserved it, but one thing I have noticed is that a lot of queer YA written from ~2019-2022 has a kind of sterile after-school-special vibe where you can just tell they sanitized the fuck out of it to appease the Twitter hivemind

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
