so fascinated by this idea I've seen on here that journals are authentic and ratings aren't. a journal is usually private and a rating typically public, but why does a change in audience necessitate inauthenticity?

and if it's due to 'performativity', journals can be performed too, (for an idealised self, imagined future readers), why is it the audience that makes it inauthentic?

or is it also because ratings exist relative to all the rest you've recorded and those of others? who's afraid of relationality? What would inauthentic even mean here?

Every debate about getting kids (boys) to read forgets non-fiction! Most of what I read from 8-12 was non-fiction and the curiosity it sparked about the world was much more influential on me and my reading habits than Gangsta Granny or whatever

there are plenty of books for boys to read, it's lazy to constantly parrot publishing industry trends. Kids won't read if their parents don't, but it's easier to write inflammatory pieces on crotchety Bitch Librarians + editors.

Not quoting to give that popular fascist commentator more visibility, but I have to say I am concerned over how much good will seemingly progressive people are willing to give a truly repugnant vermin because he's funny. He is, you don't have to boost him by saying it.

i unironically hold this belief
My take on trans women in sports is that no one should play sports. Don't let them distract you from the bigger picture. #BanSports

“Robespierre had merely killed a king, and a few thousand Frenchmen; Kant had killed God” - Heinrich Heine, 1835
german poet heinrich von kleist went insane after learning about immanuel kant’s philosophy. he cancelled all his life plans, lost faith in God, shot a woman, and then killed himself in 1811. “my sole & highest goal has vanished, now i have none,” he wrote after discovering kant.

Nothing says ‘old money’ like 100% polyester garments
they’re calling it the briefest “cultural domination” to ever happen
