hi

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

WHAT ARE YALL READING RN you must tell me

you ever go back and reread fics from 2011/2012 because they're just that fucking good.

just had a thought: do you think anyone goes back and reads my fics from the 100 fandom circa 2015 omg i think i would cry

worse: i looked up my old ao3 username and there are still people reading and recommending 5 seconds of summer smut i wrote in 2014
