I crack myself up.

RIP Herman Melville, you woulda loved unethical non monogamy with an evil whaling polycule

I also think there's plenty of Great Literature that's also genre/trash/smut and those are some of my favorites. Will always be grateful to my mom for telling me Macbeth as a bedtime story as a kid so that when I finally encountered the play I was, like, ooooooh, the one with blood!

As cost of living increases, as wages stagnate, as housing becomes more precarious, it becomes harder and harder to be able to spend all your time doing weird shit.

Whole ecosystems reliant on people doing weird shit, dry up as their habitat is burned for a billionaire's profit.
