Seeing a white supremacist trying to dictate terms on the website he bought over and ruined really makes me feel so helpless, although I know that's a useless way to think about it. "Decolonisation is genocide" broke my brain. Trying to find as much Pal sources as I can over here but this place, god

Haven't been able to stop thinking about this piece since I read it
14 year old Guatemalan kid working in a Perdue chicken factory jobs: "The belt caught the sleeve of Marcos’s baggy jacket and pulled him across the floor. Hard plastic teeth ripped through his muscles, tearing open his forearm down to the bone."
The Kids on the Night Shift

Bluesky is my safe space to say what everyone is too afraid to say: Olivia Rodrigo's music is a vile, repugnant, horrific, terrible, spooky, soulless, very bad, extremely not-nice assault on ears

There are a lot of clever things I could say about the Olivia Rodrigo album, and a lot of concrete things, but it’s probably easier just to say it’s not good. But if you want a concept album where the concept is “what if every song sounds like something you’re sick of hearing at karaoke,” have at it

Finished reading Jamel Brinkley's Witness, and it's the kind of stories I feel we don't really see much of in contemporary American publishing anymore. A slice-of-life type stories but fully realised; "nothing happens" on the surface level of plot but everything happens.

Joking aside, that this shit is computationally expensive and only exists because of venture funding is absolutely key to remember. Just because cost is invisible to us doesn’t mean it’s not there. The net is very good at distancing us from this.

Finally a review of Yellowface that truly goes off https://www.clereviewofbooks.com/writing/r-f-kuang-yellowface
The Diversity Elevator: On R. F. Kuang’s “Yellowface” — Cleveland Review of Books
Yellowface fixates too much on its protagonist’s personal vendetta to make
any provocative assertions about publishing’s fetish for a certain kind of
“diverse” voice.
