Awful Disclosures: A Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed

Maria Monk

TIL that until "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the best-selling book in the USA was published in 1836 and sold 300,000 copies. It was called "The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk," a first-person account of the sexual abuse of nuns at the hands of priests. https://t.co/CfDzHoG3OO https://t.co/CCNOXhPbll

I keep waiting for someone to back a truck of money up to Tanith Lee's estate for the rights to BITING THE SUN, a sci-fi novel about immortality, a positive portrayal gender identity, and true love at the beginning of the end of the apocalypse. Written in 1976. https://t.co/k56ziIwmeZ

If you've never tried it, I highly recommend telling old white men to go fuck themselves just to see them devolve into caricatures of Foghorn Leghorn.

@Jennifer_deG Sounds similar in tone to Mark Twain's "Letters From The Earth" 🤔

@NetherBi The comic was written to show what happened in Europe after the Jewish refugees fled to the USA. Since, you know, Superman is Jewosh. The cartoon replaces that with earthquakes, more appropriate for kids. And approved(!!) by Alan Moore.

But we know Disney doesn't trust the Comic division. Do you know how we know? They've outsourced their kid-friendly Marvel and Star Wars comics...to IDW.

@jamesoliphant In 2007, Gregory Carr (the entrepreneur) signed a 20-year lease with the Mozambique government. He runs that land. Including the school system, career options, and health program. This is just a company town. Y'all naive as fuck. Billionaires are bad, James.

@kennysama_d The only "precedent" set was that cynical dipshits who are too dead inside to believe in humanity shouldn't write Superman. John Byrne had no business writing Superman. Neither does Snyder. 😐 https://t.co/f12bw106CG https://t.co/bPl61Qikub
