its wild the degree to which people talk about reading and eating in similar terms - the concept of a "reading diet", of "media consumption", the idea of certain stories as "empty calories" or "fast food" and some as "eating your vegetables", the moralization of both as personal failings, the framing of health with the specter of degeneration if not complied with... the idea that there are things that are sensorily pleasant and that you find yourself craving, and there are things that sustain you, and those are not the same things. the framing of literacy as reading the correct way and taking away the correct meaning from a text. according to nutritional guidelines
@fractalradio you are so right for bringing up 'slop'

would you ever want to share a book/essay etc list about dolls? saw you reference a few writings in your response to other asks would be cool if you shared the stuff you’ve read. I have a very similar fascination

i may be missing some but i can add to this. i may put together a list of media/technology/surveillance as well as i have quite a few collected. also i highly recommend the book “what do pictures want?” by w.j. t. mitchell. not related to dolls but it talks on the agency of the image which relates so much to dolls imo.

in the past when people asked me why I didn't want to do medical humanities adjacent work with ***** to follow in the footsteps of (professor) I told them that I didn't think that sort of work was possible anymore, because current institutional tracks have calcified and become too demanding of single-minded focus/branding to accommodate someone who wants to develop shallower expertise in multiple places. I still stand by this answer, but as (professor)'s work is something that I return to all the time I've also noticed that it poses a lot of moral questions that didn't really exist when it was written but have become bigger and bigger and more widely interpreted as unsettling as the political atmosphere changes. which makes it harder to ever work with this material as a junior scholar on the bottom of the pecking order, for obvious reasons. like even if the institutions were flexible enough I don't know if I'd want to publish about this with my government name and career attached
there’s a cultural obsession with labelling all female authors as unintelligent or otherwise only capable of accidentally stumbling into brief moments of genius in their works that we need to start pushing back against
“I was always bothered when people say, ‘I cry to your music, it sounds like a diary, it sounds so personal,’” Mitski says. “Yes, it is personal. But that’s so gendered. There’s no feeling of, ‘Oh, maybe she’s a songwriter and she wrote this as a piece of art.’”
(source)
feel like it's related to the phenomenon mitski's discussing here - if women's art is only seen as unfiltered diaristic emotion then of course it can only ever be accidental genius, never created with intention and thought
I need to figure out all the possible edge cases for the current quotation mark system in the rifts (all dialogue rendered in english with quotation marks from whatever language is being used) because I've already run into one where that doesn't work (character on the phone speaking with 2 people who are talking through a single shared phone and switching languages between sentences as he's yelling at them because one person knows german and the other doesn't)

(long redacted) difficulty entangling that whole process/educational experience from (redacted) and with an audience of mostly progressive cis women nobody really has the insight or incentive to challenge it. the absence (long redacted) and (long redacted) transparently transphobic and cedes incredible amounts of territory to (redacted) but again, nobody has an incentive to challenge this. so it’s not just pure malice when people start acting out or looking to outside authorities I don’t think
wary of all politics based on the premise that only certain people are capable of producing value/meaning/utility and everyone else is a downstream parasite
The United States is experiencing a significant rise in the prevalence of asthma and other debilitating respiratory and cardiovascular ailme
The United States is experiencing a significant rise in the prevalence of asthma and other debilitating respiratory and cardiovascular ailments that disproportionately burden low income and marginalized Americans. This is due in large measure to climate change, which is responsible for increasingly devastating air quality events—including wildfires and drought—that trigger these serious health conditions. As a result, it is imperative that we begin to explore potential legal and policy reforms that reign in sources of health-impairing air pollution. The common law of property has long implied in residential leasing arrangements a warranty guaranteed by landlords to tenants that the premises are habitable. This implied warranty of habitability was adopted to stymie the squalid and unhealthful conditions prevalent in leased housing. While the implied warranty has been traditionally deployed to ensure access to running water and heat and to abate rodent and other residential infestations, it has not been invoked to address poor indoor air quality that can have a significant impact on tenant health and well-being. North Americans spend nearly 90 percent of their lives indoors and, due to the considerable air pollution generated by typical gas appliances, indoor air quality is often more health harming than polluted outdoor air. Yet, indoor air remains largely unregulated. To address the increasingly poor respiratory health of renters, this Article contends that the use of typical gas appliances in leased spaces violates the implied warranty of habitability and, thereby, the common law of property can be deployed to incentivize landlords to electrify.
