Text reads “me @ the traditional western literary canon.” Below the text is a screenshot of Trump’s truth social post that reads What’s going on with my “boys” and in some cases, “gals?”

Perhaps this is a bit of a stretch, but I can’t help but be reminded of this Ursula K Le Guin quote (Le Guin, of course, wrote incredible works for both adults and children). 17/
A quote from Ursula K Le Guin's What Women Know. It reads as follows: But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?

Two tweets from Kyle Lukoff. First reads: I wish "you read literature intended for children!!" wasn't such a go-to insult among a cohort of people whose work I generally have a lot of respect for. More than anything it shows how little they know about the work done in a lot of picture books and middle grade fiction. Reply reads: sure there's plenty of crap out there, but if that defines an entire swathe of written work I have bad news for you about the rest of fiction and nonfiction.

Okay I need 2 say something. I’ve been online long enough to see a lot of discourse cycles about anti-intellectualism like the one sparked by this post. I want 2 highlight an aspect of these debates that I find to be frustratingly under-discussed: the rhetorical position of children’s literature. 1/
Tweet of a tumblr post from user three-sugars-pls. It reads as follows: wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy. The tweet above the screenshot reads: booktwt are you listening.

Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl as he makes direct eye contact at the camera to address Drake during his performance of Not Like Us. Overlaid text is as follows: “One gets the sense that politics has gone off, like a cell phone, in the darkened theater of Pamela Paul’s mind. It is worse than wrong: It is rude.”

Happy holidays everyone, this year I am gifting u with the maxim that has singlehandedly freed me from investing any valuable time and energy into approx 85% of intra-left online discourse
Tweet from @Very_Regular that has been doctored to read “I’m not falling for that hot take. That’s clearly someone with a fetish for being a cop even though they say they hate the police. They want to police other people so bad that it kind of totally nullifies their argument about ethics/community care/moral responsibility. I refuse to participate in their cop fantasies.
