So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.

made some affirmations for my fellow grocery shoppers out there
One thing I didn't expect from my new worldbuilding book is the author, roughly my dad's age, including his opinions on furries
I'm liking this guy more and more
I have a new favorite author.
it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul
congrats you want to live and be happy
bad news the world doesn't want that for you
I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess
Insane to me how the left thinks reddit is a teeming hive of barely-disguised misogynistic and racist vitriol and the right thinks reddit is dominated top to bottom by the worst kind of censorious busybody buzzfeed-feminist-ass liberal moralists you can imagine and somehow they’re both right
Goku is on Namek fightin that Frieza guy…Goku uhh…flyin or doin somethin over there…
for context’s sake: this is from JBVO, a show hosted by Johnny Bravo where you could call in and request your favorite episode of a CN show and Johnny would play it for you. for the most part it worked out pretty smoothly since at the time cn’s shows mostly had an average episode length of 7 to 11 minutes.
but one day a viewer requested that they play their favorite episode of dragon ball z, a show with 23-minute long episodes. due to time constraints with both dbz AND jbvo they had to work a compromise: a sped up version of the requested dbz episode played with johnny narrating over it so people understood what’s going on
Having a quiet little afternoon and I’ve been feeling rusty about comics, so I went and redrew an old Jucika strip!
Here is something a friend sent me, happy pride month to all trainers and all pokemons!
I had a dream that Pepsi released a candy called “Pepsi Particles” that were caviar sized, spherical pepsi logos that fizzed in your mouth. The packaging was a blue and silver pouch with a pepsi logo surrounded with rings like an atom, there were crystal pepsi and pepsi blue flavors as well. I can’t stop thinking about them.
(ARTIST’S RENDITION)
Whipped up a concept of more candy style packaging, rather than the oreo pack look that he drew.
This response still haunts me.
The more I reflect on it the more I believe this person knows me and knew this minimalist take would particularly piss me off. The fact this is on a throwaway account with this being their only post really enforces that.
So who did this? You can come clean now, I promise I won’t get mad, please.
Happy pride to the original owner of this PC specifically
Good news! They've put the entire collection of reviews and mid-2000s gay porn dvd rips up on archive as a free download!
And here's the link to the OG tweet if you want to read about the archival adventure in full.
Happy Pride!
Snezhana Soosh is a 37-year-old artist from the Ukraine. She recently began posting some heartwarming illustrations of a father and his daughter on instagram. The images are sadly not from experience as her own father was not part of her life. She hopes they’ll inspire young men, like her own son, to be present in their daughter’s lives when they have a family of their own. There are currently 14 paintings in the series, but hopefully she will add more. I absolutely love this! (Source)
