Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”

Very important to hate fascists more than you hate liberals.

All the people trying to pick a fight over the latter half of this post like there may not be more temporally relevant examples a person of Nigerian origin could be referring to here.
Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”
People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

Don’t love this trend of people using dead Palestinians as a shield to justify their resentment or dislike of people they find annoying online.
Did I say that I support Mills or that she is the best candidate. No, I did not. Do you see me here or in my column throwing my support behind “apartheid enablers” and “genocide deniers.” No, you do not.

Unhinged and incorrect. There’s a particular library filing code that’s the bane of my existence because they just throw all recent fiction in there so sifting through the books is near impossible. Order is great. More categories please. Let me see your vampire fiction about dentistry section.

Hinged and correct. I don’t think teenagers who read necessarily focus on YA books anymore tbh. The YA categorization trap really only captured one generation and they’re still its primary market (no shade intended)
YA shouldn’t exist as a separate category—it infantilizes teenagers who can/should just read regular books for adults. And don’t get me started on adults reading YA…

Unhinged, probably incorrect if you don’t apply the same reasoning to most prose. Correct from an existential perspective
Most poetry is a complete waste of effort

Hinged and incorrect imo. Commonplace opinion, but while I don’t have stats for this, I’m certain that young people struggling in NYC/Sf/LA is much more represented in contemporary litfic than academia is
I know the advice is to “write what you know,” but the world is not in desperate need of more contemporary literary fiction focused on academia.

Actually unhinged, I think. Also perhaps correct? Hate it when audiobook narrators attempt Nigerian accents and fail though, so this would piss me off.
If a book is translated to English, the English audiobook narration should be done in the accent of the original language.

Nearly every "business book" could be a pamphlet, also my profession is not great at picking out management books for team building purposes.

Something I've been thinking about lately is how to assert my right to think about the things I want to think about, the cultural or intellectual questions that are interesting to me, rather than have my day-to-day attention yanked around by someone else's agenda (i.e., the guy with the megaphone)
