Being an evil person, I found the mad rush of clueless parents buying copies of Gregory Maguire’s Wicked for their darling little girls as Christmas presents because ‘Disney’ quite hilarious.

And THIS is why not all books need to be shelved in YA, people!
When I worked at The Wherehouse, I kept having to take "Legend of the Overfiend" out of the kids section because "It's an animated movie, it must be okay."

This is actually important for two reasons.
1) Just recognising implicit sexism when it comes up, either in you or others.
2) Recognising the power of framing on social media and how it can override context and even common sense. Next time you're asked to join a dogpile, perhaps consider this.

Okay, this is a fascinating case of social media priming.
So, this creator, Sarah Velush, basically has a channel devoted to deadpan lifestyle humour (a la Chef Tova).
But because a progressive account takes it literally and says... this? Hundreds of comments assuming she's an evil tradwife.

But. It's way more complicated than just that.
I think hyper-curated places like Instagram, FB, and Tiktok have twisted some peoples' view of how the internet should look that they are uncomfortable (at best) to enraged (at worst) when the discover tab offers beyond that hyper curation.

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

We are all more than a little bit exhausted of dealing with the Hashtag Resistance BlueAnon "how dare you have fun, there are people starving right outside your window!!" lectures. If 100% of your posts are politics, you match the pattern, and your comment sounds like it too, you will get blocked.

Oh my god
The phenomenon of fake PhD student influencers trying to convince young people they should use AI to do work is reeeeeally fucked up. Don’t know if it’s just an emerging grift category for directly seeded by LLM vendors but it’s really insidious and gross.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

"Can video games tell stories better than books" idk man, is a cream puff more numinous than a pair of jorts? Does the sky have more of the Buddha-nature than a rubbermaid container full of loose hdmi cables? Try an argument that's even remotely a thing.

Hi there, everypony! I can take this one.
Short version; if you were part of it, you either went right or became trans. I watched friendships end and the fandom tear itself to shreds from a pretty key vantage point.

in more exciting (derogatory) news, i inherited a nearly worthless car, am literally in the process of donating it to the Kidney Car people, and they showed up today to pick it up only to find it had already been towed (by the Bylaws people). So now i have to pay $400CAD to retrieve it to donate it.
I have a check coming this week, and more later in the month (work is starting to come in finally!), but could really use about USD $600 to get us caught up on first-of-the-month bills and rent if anyone can help. Cashapp is $AdrienneLeigh, Wise is adrienneleight, or PayPal is below:
