a lot of criticism of the way shannon wrote the council/elvin society just kinda comes across like "erm why is this dystopia not good actually....i thought elves were supposed to be perfect 🤔 i mean the goverment says that in the books, and the goverment wouldnt lie so therefore shannon must think this is a good society 🤔🤔"

EXACTLY BRO

wait so dumb question if ur genderfluid do you have to feel like every gender eventually. or can i be genderfluid and still never feel like a girl ever

bro, it’s YOUR gender. and YOU are valid. also it shouldn’t matter if you ever “feel like a girl” cause people should be respecting what you feel on a day to day basis. so if one day you’re feeling more he/him and then the next you’re feeling ze/zem, then someone shouldn’t be calling you it/its cause those aren’t your pronouns atm. anyways you are valid as you are. it’s your gender and no one can define it but you.

i think it would do a lot of people good to remember that Mormons are white supremacists, no nuance, no debate, no arguing how they've gotten "more diverse", their whole belief system is fundamentally rooted in white supremacist ideals

“maybe he’s poly,” i say liarly and falsely.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

this. as a young ace reader, i had super severe reading block when it came for me to progress from middle grade to more young adult/adult content because i didn’t know when sex scenes would manifest (they made me uncomfortable)

"cozy bookstore" "cozy cafe with a bookshelf" "omg imagine if there was a place you could just sit and read at" we have this its called the library. you guys want to go to the library. the two college libraries near me have cafes inside and they are open to the public. people need to go to the library

media literacy died when students started thinking their literature teachers were reaching when they pointed out color symbolism.
