@withsobersenses Ahh but don’t you see, Dave? Reading is un-Australian. What’s Australian is being a slavish conformist whose entire identity is based on a psyop to further the interests of multinational mining corporations. Johnny Howard told me so!

romance authors don’t want you to go to the library because if you get too literate you’ll realize their books suck. they’d rather you stick to booktok.

@CCguerilla @NonwayneWayne Yeah, think they’re doing the right thing for the board of investors anyway lmao

[Benjamin D. Muir @BenjaminDMuir]

It’s irredeemably bad at this point

[NomDeNonWayne @NonwayneWayne]

You're going to see a lot more academics coming out and saying this sort of thing. They're the real ones.

@lamesaskateclub @brown_book_bug Man I’ve taught like half the books on this list and I specialise in 19th century-to-contemporary lit

@CHRISF0GLE Used to work for one of Aus’s most respected independent publishers

Honestly bro they send so many review copies to so many people and a fraction of them actually review it

If your publisher hasn’t done it, fetch a box and get sending

@clickholebot Australian here

It haunts me

I half wrote an academic paper about how it’s the “let them eat cake” of the 2020s then abandoned it

I still see it when I close my eyes
