ITS EVOCATIVE! LIKE GREAT BIG HUGE BANANAS EXCEPT SHARP!

One popular take on "deconstructions" of children's media I'll push back on is the idea that talking about how fucked up it is that a bunch of kids have to save the world is inherently pandering to adult audiences. Kids love it when kids' media is about how fucked up it is to be a kid who has to save the world – you've just gotta not be condescending about it.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

Mississippi used to be at or near the bottom national literacy rankings and as I understand, their near meteoric surge in literacy rate ranking is almost entirely due to the fact that they largely still use phonics

Many homeless people rely on books as the only entertainment they can easily carry, can be replaced constantly, doesn't need charging and can be found for relatively cheap.

They're not just allegations too. There's a paper trail the length of the Appalachia trail. Scarlet went to the police and filed a charge for assault against him. He made the mother of 3 who lived on his property sign an NDA and gave her hush money. The he sued her for breaking the NDA when she came forward with the other 10 victims to give bulk to the stories. Claire tried to confront him for abusing her and he also promised to make a donation to a DV center only to ofc never do that donation, ever the skilled liar, NG. NG is literally getting sued by Scarlett as we speak for SA and human trafficking and there was a pdf dossier with all her accusations that was multiple pages long. I would not call all this "just allegations", man is knee deep in accusations and getting sued pretty consistently.

People in the comments like "you just need to add a /pos tone indicator to your comment!": strangers at the potluck do not like being told "You're a bitch!" with a smile and a thumbs up.

When he was asked to be in Jimmy Kimmel’s “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” video, in which he pulled up alongside them in a car and gave Jimmy a little wink and an air-kiss, when he showed up at the set he looked kind of put out. Kimmel was afraid he wasn’t down with what they were asking. But he just said, “I don’t know, this wardrobe…don’t you have anything mesh that I could wear?”

we do have to contend with the fact that the reason there is this like perpetual conflation funnel that turns aave and other black dialects into 'gen z slang' and memes and the reason non black performers keep putting on blaccents and the reason pictures of black people just existing gets turned into memes is the same and its because its all minstrelsy.

[ID: #and it becomes general internet slang and is reproduced by non-native speakers who don't even know what aave is #because it's so diluted into generic 'american cultural export #learning about the way aave gets appropriated through gay slang etc until it becomes mainstream was a big eye opener for me! #because like how would i know but also i was participating /End ID.]
