I really hope Jack Edwards chokes. "Oh look we made Dostoevsky number one bestseller on Amazon!" as if that fucking guy needed any hype. Maybe you can spend all this time and energy promoting books and authors that truly are not represented? I don’t know, make a video on Georgian literature, spend hours trying to find at least one English translation of the biggest Lithuanian authors? Of course, it’s going to be hard, all of the money was spend on English translations of Russian authors and all of us had only last 33 years trying to do anything to promote our culture while you all were simping for chauvinists, who hated the bare existence of us. Google at least the names of prominent Polish and Latvian authors. What are their names? What were they writing about? Could they afford to write about some highly intellectual suffering while their nations were balancing between life and death? Read the names of modern Ukrainian writers that were killed in the last 2 years. Who killed them? What would they think of Dostoevsky? Were they the "trembling beast" or "did they have the right"? Literature does teach a lot and for some reason the countries that were (are) under Russian attacks don’t like Dostoevsky, why his philosophical thought is so pathetic in our eyes? Do some research, then we’ll talk.
I’m back on my bs, aka making people online angry because I put my coffee cup straight on my duvet, and posting books about being very online knowing full well I’m being very online 💻
i got blocked by someone over this but critiquing media that has sex in it/critiquing the sex itself is not automatically puritan. Sex negativity is not pointing out that most popular pieces of media that have sex in it are overwhelmingly white, straight, cis, and able bodied. Sex negativity is not pointing out that it is a problem that swathes of people (usually younger women) cannot read fictional books without there being some sort of ~spicy~ scene in it. What IS puritan is someone saying all sex is bad INHERENTLY/there shouldn't be sex depicted anywhere in media at ALL.
Every now and again, YouTube recommends me a booktube book review for a “controversial” book and every time I decide to watch it I realize these people’s minds would be blown by SVSSS and 2HA. Their heads would just explode. They’d die after the first 5 chapters. Their little brains wouldn’t be able to comprehend them, they’d just shut down and self destruct.
It's out!!!! finally! Running a premiere was a LOT of fun and you can expect to see me do it more. This series is legendarily... outrageous, I guess. It's fitting it has 'seeing is believing' because it's extremely hard for most people to believe me when I tell them it's real, it's not a joke or satire or feitish, and it was published by a Big Five mainstream press in 2013-2015.
It has the most trigger warnings I've ever had to include and I am Not Kidding.
Is there such thing as book tumblr? Like ik booktok, booktube, bookstagram, etc, but is there a tumblr version? Bc my tumblr is mainly fandom stuff(toh, pjo, etc), and a bunch of chaos, but I need book recs, places to totally not find free ebooks, places to rant about good books, etc, so does anyone know how to find that side of tumblr?
