Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.

they just.  they just do that

By the time you stop shitting your brains out for long enough to wonder how you got sick, you're looking at entirely the wrong time window. Karen is calling the health department on the burrito truck that gave her the runs, whole time it was the upscale restaurant she went to two days before. Diseases are sneaky like that.

Grace finds out about this after one of his students excitedly informs him that they've got a new batch of baby siblings, named 🎵🎶🎵🎶, 🎶🎶, 🎵🎶🎶 and [pitch prefect rendition of the Star Trek theme].

I love the Grand Canyon, so beautiful BUT if I went there, I know my brain would be screaming at me the entire time

nods thoughtfully. I hadn't even considered it. am I a bad person?

An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. The Bookish Type, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Good fundraising idea or bad messaging? 🤔

This is art. It's activism, it's demonstration. And the money goes to a good cause. So good all around.

it's not that, like, astral nazi particles are created whenever anybody of any social status or authority fucks with any book.

This ^ sounds like a great fundraiser, especially if it's a used copy that was donated or picked up cheap. Depending on edition, this title has between 250-400 pages. Which means excluding stuff like title page, publisher info, flyleaves, etc, this fundraiser is making MINIMUM £60 for gender-affirming healthcare. Maybe £55 if the book was purchased specifically for this fundraiser.

I saw numerous books of all types, most of them - if they were sound of binding and decent of page quality - I sorted into the correct genre box without more than a glance. I always checked the publication date of any medical or child-care books, though, and anything older than five years went straight in the bin. They're both fields where what we know is growing and changing very rapidly, and also where the wrong information could ruin or even end a person's life. It was genuinely more responsible to destroy those books than to risk letting them wind up in the hands of someone who wouldn't realize they'd need to fact-check the contents for safety.
