it's funny to me that herman melville opted for a sperm whale to be the final boss of his book when on a WHALE level blue whales are so much more impressive. like he saw the biggest, most powerful animal in the world and said: no. moby dick is slightly smaller. and busted https://t.co/WmCw1mg5Vl

the ick i feel re: d*ne cook discourse has me thinking about an essay from mark greif’s “against everything” called Afternoon Of The Sex Children, bc he really gets at the fixation- as if it isn’t just as pedophilic to want an 18 y/o at age 45 as it would be if they were 15 & 42 https://t.co/GJNdJJuogH
