from tiktok comments on one of the posts about Paris - this book has such a meaningful message that leads kids into being able to fight for their rights and its just heartbreaking to see the franchise itself stand for something completely opposite

One of the more disturbing elements of the world of Fahrenheit 451 is that the classics still exist, they’ve just been wholly rewritten to remove anything that makes them interesting or challenging. Our addiction to a fully frictionless existence is going to kill us.

the word “read” has more meanings than just “use eyeballs to see squiggles on page”

phrases like “she reads the future” “he read the room” or “do you read me” all use “read” to mean to comprehend/understand

so its totally fine to say that you read an audiobook or braille book

not to jinx it but: an excerpt from my professionally published review (!!!!) of THE SIXTH FACTION, coming soon

spoiler: I loved it :)

since everyone is (rightfully) dunking on Sunrise on the Reaping, may I instead direct your attention to another recent addition to an early-2010s YA dystopia series, with actual artistic integrity and interesting additions to existing lore? which is officially released TODAY??

Please don’t buy our books on Amazon. If you can’t afford to buy them from a real bookstore or from us directly, pirate them from Anna’s Archive like God intended.

@lunar_swoon that was my takeaway as well! the first half was so interesting but i thought the end resorted to sentimentality and caricatures and felt like it didn’t do justice to the book’s heavy social questions

today, my heart is with jane doe, every jane doe, every named survivor, every girl, woman, femme who was not protected as they should've been. my heart is here in this poem. my heart is with you.

There's been a lot of talk about how this is a byproduct of the partriarchy and yeah, obviously, it is. But there is also an extreme crisis of depersonalization going on among younger people right now. This idea that relationships and people's inner lives are separate from experiences, or stories, or the Content of it all.

These guys weren't thinking about how Jane Doe was going to feel when she woke up, or whether or not she wanted to have sex with them. I don't even think they were thinking about how *they* wanted to have sex with *her*.

They were thinking about how great of a story this was. What it said about their college experiences and the bonds between brothers. They were thinking about how they'd be able to tell each other last night was a movie.

“The campus” is defined through a libidinal economy of exploration, education, exclusion, contact, youth; it is also a forever-threatened public institution which, at this moment, may or not be in its death throes. These things are not unrelated.

[penne 🌟 @eurekatxt]

Title IX is structured such that “the university” is hyperaware of its own vulnerability; mere existence of “the victim” proves its an “unsafe space” and places it in violation of federal policy, risking its funding. Thus investigating victims’ cases is inimical to its interests.
