Peter Parker, broke in NYC, making money by helping people carry their heavy furniture up stairs. People why hire him laugh when he shows up, not believing the scrawny kid will be able to help at all. Then he singlehandedly carried a heavy couch up seven flights of stairs.

He just asks people not to ask questions.

Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.

i feel like sometimes people get a bit to caught up on the grave robbing part of the creature's creation in frankenstien and assign to much thematic importance to it. not that the resurrection of the dead isn't deserving of attention, there are many wonderful stories of necromancy that function as frankenstien narratives (including one ive written myself) but i think not enough attention is given to the clone as a modern frankenstien

Also if I've learned anything within this year its that you can face oppression in one way or another and still not care about the oppression of others. Like someone being a part of a certain group doesn't mean a damn thing. None of us are inherently radical

somehow the poor cops who we were told are simply too understaffed and underpaid because of Woke to deal with 'rampant rising crime' have found the strength to beat the shit out of college students across the whole country for peacefully saying "divest from the country killing innocent palestinians in the tens of thousands"

“My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”

— Laurell K. Hamilton

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!
