Looked up Abigail Shrier's book on Amazon for a thing I'm writing, and right in the middle of assorted anti-trans texts was a book called Can't Stop Thinking: How to Let Go of Anxiety and Free Yourself from Obsessive Rumination, and I guess that says it all.

Adam Serwer said it better when he said "The cruelty is the point," but he is not held back by writing 3,000 word Glee recaps that ruined all ability to be concise.

@elessar42 I hated Red, White, and Royal Blue so much that I’m giving McQuiston a wide berth. Someday maybe.

I read @alexpheby’s EXCELLENT fantasy novel Mordew and came away with one question: Is spoilerphobia a plot by the ruling class to keep us uncritically consuming content? Well? IS IT???

I have been thinking a lot about how many stories about getting to try on another life are just about preserving the status quo. But that bugs me! https://emilyvdw.letterdrop.com/p/the-midnight-library-matt-haig-review?utm=S9i5i6OPR8
