Daguerreotype of a stylishly dressed young man with a poetical air about him, circa 1850

Of course, my blorbo is fundamentally good and only does out-of-character bad things every second episode because of the evil writers who hate them, but that horrible disgusting character you like is an irredeemable heartless monster because of all the very real bad things they canonically did in canon.

I've watched a couple James Somerton videos because they were about topics of interest to me but I stopped pretty early because I found him painfully dull as a commentator, and a lot of the channels being condemned in the video gave me deja vu of other C-list YouTubers that really wouldn't stick with me despite making content about my interests.

I think one effect of being a serial plagiarist is that your content doesn't really have a coherent authorial voice, and as a result it's slanted towards mediocrity by design. I'll admit this sounds a bit like the toupee fallacy, but I'm also describing a pretty real causal link if plagiarism is a pattern for any creative.

i think the way people latch on political dogma IS similar to how people traditionally latched onto religious dogma to provide them with community and identity and a guideline on how to live and be a good person but you can’t call it social justice because a) it’s not social justice, merely a facsimile of it; b) people get defensive and immediately start going ummm excuse me for wanting basic rights for people blah blah (lol); and c) this is not an issue specific to the performative left but is seen across the ideological spectrum. to pretend that the dogma of social media and social media-informed political spaces is actually just how political movements are is legitimately laughable

cassandra clare is a hack and i would love to know if, in the alternate universe where her books are published under her birth name rather than her fanfic penname, she gets the same sales. I don't think the hp fanfic community really drives that many sales but at the same time it's insane that she published under that name... evidently the decision was that it would be more advantageous to use that name than detrimental due to her plagiarism. while i'm on the subject, ripping of other works wholesale to make your fanfic seem wittier and better written is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard of. you're already ripping off some author's complete world building, and you have steal other people's verbatim writing too??? hack!!!

Tumblr is like the great intellectual movements in that everyone is ready to fight 37 hours a day and they overlap and recapitulate in weird ways. You're like "here's my piece On Duchamp, its purpose is to underline the systematic inequality of the production of Western art by being a literal shitpost" and someone with a banner climbs in the window like "actually you're promoting impure behavior by acknowledging waste" and somebody else runs in and shouts BEHOLD, AN ASSBUTT and lobs a Supernatural gif at you

well i finished reading the de-loused story booklet

im not pulling my opinions out of my ass either btw. i have been surrounded by many people who went from a STEM field to humanities, or the other way around, and everything they've told me has formed my opinions on this.

Actually hitting me for real that I'm not going to school in the fall

Provided feedback to a colleague on a report a few weeks back and she sent me the latest version and it incorporates basically nothing I suggested aside from settling on one term vs. vacillating between two terms for the same concept. Despite her saying I had a lot of good points and she wanted to talk it over. Welp. On my way out the door for a few weeks so. Whatevs.
