me at the beginning of a paper: i’ve never once had a thought. words? never heard of her
me when i finish the paper: i am a writing goddess. there’s never been a better writer in their life. emily brontë envies me.
me at the beginning of the very next paper: i am illiterate.

This year marks the 90th anniversary of New York City’s iconic WPA-era outdoor pools. Summer is officially here! ☀️🏊♂️🌊
@flamingo_gal@caitclark_kent how is haymitch randomly feeling positive about katniss less of a chosen one story than being motivated by a deep connection in their lives? his idea isn’t “covey girl final boss,” his motivation is my ex best friends kid and reigniting a spark that was there in srot
@flamingo_gal@caitclark_kent in fact, we actually hear of other districts rebelling before 12 ever does. 13 was existing & rebelling long before katniss even knew of its existence. she was literally used as a pawn of rebellion- big plot point. she wasn’t a chosen one, it could have been anyone. time & place
@flamingo_gal@caitclark_kent ampert wasn’t covey or 12, beetee and wiress and madge and finnick and joanne and Plutarch, none were 12. there is in text evidence of other people trying to rebel and failing, katniss was just involved in the winning plan because everything fell into place. her story resonated
@CHRRYDOVES srotr reinforces that katniss wasn’t a chosen one by showing a failed rebellion. that they had been trying, over and over and over. behind every revolution is a 100 failed attempts, 100 sacrifices, 100 amperts and lenore doves and sid’s. and the thread of covey exemplifies that
@stickseason people aren’t used to an artist writing outside themselves because artists like taylor swift ONLY write from their perspective (not a bad thing, fairly typical) but noah’s always written from a variety of perspectives
@_gazzamac @DankelInYoFace@RayJanCan@mollywidstrom@TrainedPotty This one is false. It comes from a misunderstanding where he was critiquing Ms. Rachel when she quoted “Love thy neighbor,” to support LGBTQ, and he quoted Leviticus about stoning men who lay with men. He did not advocate for it. https://t.co/2VlVYay2LS
