am reading worn by sofi thanhauser on a tumblrite recommendation (fave method of finding new books) and while the anthropological research regarding the textiles themselves are fascinating and, im sure, well sourced, every time she turns to subjects like, for example, the history of south asian deindustrialization and current politics, i get hit SO HARD with the gell-mann amnesia. like homegirl is credulously citing "an editorial" she read that stated that modi was the first introduction of cults of personality into indian politics and like, bro mamata banerjee's nickname is literally didi.

is this a safe space to say something a bit mean about mid 2010s tumblr darling cathyrnne m valente. im reading her jolene vampire short story rn and it strikes me the extent to which she always seems to want to have her cake and eat it too with characters who are always salt of the earth rustically common-sense-folk who just happen to have the secular and enlightened values expressed in the exact same manner as an american with a masters in anthropology.
