there will always be a calling with your name on it. always. maybe not today. maybe not next week. maybe not while you’re sitting in that uncomfortable posture staring at the your screen, disassociated, mourning the person you used to be at 17, back when the future felt ENORMOUS. but eventually something will tap you on the shoulder and you’ll have the epiphany: a book or a person. some city. could be the literal wind before a storm, a random stranger smiling. a patch of saturated light on the floor.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

Tomorrow I'm writing about the Christian-Evangelicalism drive to think in absolutes, the whole Satanic Panic scare of the '80s and '90s and how that fed into QAnon and what drove MAGA to connect so hard with the Epstein Files, and the idolatry they're doing for Donald Trump - and how that's also reflected in how so many of us in the anti-Trump crowd treat MAGA-folk as irredeemable. Interesting stuff, at least for me. David French has a really good piece on a less extreme version of this topic that's well worth reading.
