I want the cold metal of Guy Debord's suicide revolver in my mouth now, right now, pretty please.

The amount of superfluous nonsense being produced deeply saddens me. I wish I could stop the production of all that junk.

@materialcritic "The way every American child can eat essentially without pause a so-called ice-cone [ice cream]... in that moment one can find a kind of fulfillment of childhood happiness, toward which our children once craned their necks in vain — that is really an aspect of utopia fulfilled"

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.
Young boys are being discouraged from getting into reading—and it’s because more books are missing one key element, @sophiah_n reports: theatlantic.com/culture/2026/1…
