Once you start homeschooling and see how fast your kids learn and progress, you realize that public school is essentially a daycare center that is pedagogically optimized for the bottom quintile.

The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan . You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits. What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027. Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic. The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change. Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.

“We become what we behold.” -William Blake If you contemplate an archetype long enough, when the moment arises, you will unconsciously embody it.

Regular reminder that The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is set during WWII when Turkish Delight would have been impossible to acquire in England because A) it requires too much sugar to feasibly make during rationing and B) no one is importing foreign sweets during the war. It's not candied cocaine or anything, it just happens to be something Edmund likes and can no longer get. Which makes the point of him trading his siblings for sweets (albeit ones enchanted by a witch) more salient, because sin and evil are banal like that.

Remittances should be illegal. Legitimately cannot wrap my head around why we allow this

Growing up as a Zoomer is surreal because you see writers mocking the "Knight saves princess from dragon" trope but the only popular non-Sleeping Beauty story that plays it straight is the legend of St. George. Not even Beowulf or most Arthurian stories fit that criteria.

okay here's how *I* would've written a story like this: Dark avatar and light avatar fall in love while fighting as they master the different elements enemies to friends to lovers tragic love story two avatars villains: dysfunctional family + opposing governments

To anyone thinking that being an author is easy and lucrative. To those artists who think an author should pay them hundreds for a cover and attack any who chose cheaper options. This is the reality. 13 years and this is it. Not even half the wage I earn per year from my day job.

It’s 2026; we’re not gonna keep doing the whole “Sam Wilson isn’t Captain America” thing anymore. Steve gave Sam the shield at the end of Endgame 7 YEARS AGO! Steve isn’t Captain America anymore; Sam is. Deal with it!

Indie writers will casually write, edit, design, format, market, and distribute an entire book by themselves. And then say "Sorry it took so long!"
