my faves:
⁃percy jackson
⁃the folk of the air
⁃lockwood & co.
⁃six of crows
⁃cinderella is dead

⁃red, white and royal blue
i also love the mcu, the queen's gambit, criminal minds and star wars (mainly prequels) !!
I love critical theory, I love seminars, I love reading groups, I love universities as public goods, I love historiography of disciplines and knowledge itself, I love difficulty and difficult questions, and I love the humanities being human. And that's the hill I die on.
the current ebola outbreak in Congo is set to be the deadliest and it’s concerning how little containment there seems to be. over 2500 people have died so far too, but almost no one is talking about it 💔
"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters filmed on phones that will get closer and closer to where you live until you are filming it on your own phone" keeps getting real day by day and we're doing nothing to stop it, this is so fkn scary
There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid.
They will use 73GW of electricity.
The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW.
They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined.
And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.
the reason why the mountain glaciers are melting at such an immense rate is due to climate where people can’t stop using ai, big companies exploiting it’s workers (and children), as well as the meat industry but because nepal is a relatively small country no one seems to care +
They are lowering US flags to half-mast for a week, but if the government really wants to pay tribute to Dolly, they should fund education, the arts, and medical research instead of trying to eradicate them.
my grief over dolly and tim curry is absolutely parasocial but you can't understate the impact that both of those people had for queer people, for women, for people who have always had "weird" interests and big personalities, they were icons for anyone strange
Interesting, because Amazon would have me believing that in order to digitize a book you have to destroy the rare first edition version of it for your AI.
(thank you Internet Archive for archiving our internet and media <3, you are an invaluable resource)
She said BLM, was anti-confederacy, and helped increase childhood literacy wdym she wasn’t fucking political? How many white women who grew up during segregation can say the same for the first 2 points?
Dolly was openly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-Black Lives Matter, pro-women’s rights, pro-literacy, pro-science and proudly Christian while remaining firmly rooted in country music and although several tried, no one could ever intimidate her into backing down or being silent. 1 of 1.
And when the MAGA conservatives swoop in and try to claim Dolly as one of their own, it’s imperative that you do not let them.
Dolly Parton loved everyone. Immigrants, trans people, queer people, disabled people, poor people - Dolly loved them all unconditionally.
@tryannotate it's difficult to choose, my favourite book is probably piranesi by susanna clarke !! runner up would be if we were villains by m l rio :D @torunjayem
