I don't understand why they're freaked out by book length. A kid can read one 300-page book or six 50-page books and it's the same amount of reading. Scholastic's bread and butter has traditionally been long, LONG series of relatively short children's books; it's known that bookworm kids like to read a lot. Nobody blinks an eye at a kid reading all sixty-ish Animorphs books or a bookshelf's worth of Goosebumps or The Babysitter's Club. But if the pages are stuck together into thicker books then suddenly that's difficult for a kid? 300 pages isn't even all that big for children's fantasy.

This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it

Ancient and BRILLIANT, I think you mean.

I do think you lose your right to medical privacy when you decide to become a politician and it is mad fucked up that these people hold our lives in their hands and are allowed to disappear for months on end with no explanation. You need a doctor’s note to miss school for a cold but we have no clue if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive and Tom Kean was allowed to fuck off for 4 months without telling the public why. I don’t give a fuck about your privacy, you’re not protecting my privacy, if you’re leeching tax dollars and partying it up in a rich person rehab resort somewhere while your constituents vote against our access to healthcare, we should be allowed to know. Fuck you. I say this as a disabled person, I’m always having to explain the nature of my disability and the details of my health but we’re not allowed to know what the fuck is going on with these people.

i think i love tragedy as a genre because narratively, human life is a tragedy. and i do not mean human life is inherently tragic, or bad, or sad, or meaningless. not in the slightest. but that our lifetimes fit the genre conventions of tragedy in the classical sense because the end is written from the very beginning; we die. there is literally no other option. we are as powerless against death as oedipus was against killing his father and as phaedra was against falling in love with hippolytus. and we spend every day knowing this. and so our lives are, like tragedies, about the series of choices we make with the knowledge of an inevitable end written in stone always waiting for us in the finale, and how we choose to arrive there

Sex should have a secondary gameplay loop where you build bases, manage resources, and expand your territory
