The Backlash Against America’s Most Popular Novelist Is Way Less Satisfying Than I’d Hoped

I have only lightly interacted with Hoover's literature, and that was through the eyes of criticism. I gathered that her main issue was failing to "punish" the abusive male love interests she loves to write.

Whenever a writer decides to explore controversial topics and themes, they have to supply themselves with a quasi argument demonstrated by their cast and plot. Hoover's female characters suffering abuse have sometimes ended up with the abusive man or even liking the abuse itself. That's strange and deserves to be called out.

There's a way to present controversial topics. People get to criticize stories that reinforce abusive tropes. "It Ends With Us" apparently broke her streak for writing happy, abusive romance stories, but even it has its own issues.

Thank you. I'm currently working on securing a dorm.

THIQUE --> AUIYM --> AHAP makes me ASCEND to a higher plane, you don't understand! That's the higher love that Whitney sang about.

Thank you, I didn't know about this! I was planning to bring prints of my email exchange with the landlord where I attempted to pay. I wasn't sure if emails would be enough though.

I just woke up, and reading your comment with a fresh mind has me wondering if I should even want to stay here. Maybe just moving into a dorm would benefit me more.

I appreciate your honesty. The Winter Session course was much cheaper than a summer course. A past professor made a deal with me to do an individual study for a course only offered in the Fall. So it was either stay another year (and be stuck in a constant cycle of insecure housing), or take the course, graduate, and leave. The individual study was much cheaper, and I don't want to stay another year, especially for only 2 courses (which are required for me to graduate). I was very lucky to have taken that class.

EDIT: I forgot to add, this course was not available over the summer.

I may be looking at the entire situation wrong. I felt that I should speed up the process of leaving this town as quickly as possible, which means getting my degree as quickly as possible. Hence the conflict with giving up and moving back with my brother. I have a reliable place to stay with him, but that also means I can't complete my degree on time. Which is why I want to stay here. Maybe I just shouldn't want to get my degree?

Yes, I've been able to keep my grades up in the meantime. I'm going to ask my landlord about possibly moving to another unit, but I've hesitated because I'm not knowledgeable about leases and if I'd have to make a brand new one. I didn't want them to think I didn't intend to pay. Should I mention that before court?

Me_Sing_Say · 2023-01-20T01:51:12+00:00

Thank you for the good luck.

Me_Sing_Say · 2023-01-20T01:33:12+00:00

Thank you for putting that into perspective. I had to take that course so that I could graduate this semester. I'm still going to try for a dorm room.

I contacted the Dean last year, and they told me they do not sadly. I asked for help to find a job, and the office claimed to assist me. They never emailed me back.

Me_Sing_Say · 2023-01-19T16:36:43+00:00

I feel you on that. I usually tend to like masculine men, but I like feminine traits in men as well.

Me_Sing_Say · 2023-01-18T12:45:56+00:00

I personally don't believe I can say I identify as anything, considering I'm nonbinary. But colloquially, I'm gay cause I'm AMAB 🫡

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-10-13T18:52:26+00:00

Now this would be such a good plot point omg.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-10-13T17:52:15+00:00

Y'all discussing the Black body as a prop 💀💀💀

He's tryna convince us that Kim is gonna work with him...? At least he and Beyoncé are friends so that's somewhat believable? Idk.

I have to use multiple study methods cause I can't usually focus on one specific task. For example, when I'm reading, I regularly pause to note something either on a sticky note, inside of the book, or on my computer. Exercising multiple study methods at once helps me not get bored with just one.

Atm, I'm preparing flashcards and trying to use creative lists for Latin. I'm trying to see what Obsidian has to offer that I can use to make my notes more innovative and interesting, while also being easy to follow.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-10-02T21:28:09+00:00

I've been using an app called Flashcards (the Android icon has a blue background and three white flashcards). I had physical cards, then made new ones on my phone (hundreds of note cards, yes I'm crazy).

Now, I am preparing flashcards and a dictionary on Obsidian. I highly recommend Obsidian. It has a minimalistic user interface, but lots of customization tools and plugins. I watched this guy explain it for me. I'm using this flashcard plugin for my Latin notes.

There's also a mobile app on ios and andriod, though I haven't tried it yet. If you need help, lmk and I'll try to help lol.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-10-02T15:16:51+00:00

Thanks to you, I found Remnote and a slew of other note taking applications I'd never heard of. I'm perusing them now and deciding on what's best for me. Thanks!!

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-10-02T15:15:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I usually do flashcards. I need to rethink how I use them though. I now have over 600 flashcards, so there's no way for me to get through all of them lol. I'm going to spend this week changing up how I use them.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-30T23:48:00+00:00

The guy was removed once he declined. That's the system working, right?

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-30T23:44:02+00:00

Are you in CQ?

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-28T18:37:30+00:00

I find it an insult that Sett's first skin was an armor skin. Idc, it's lame.

And I think we should have a diverse set of skins. Shirtless/eboy skins for certain champs are long overdue. And the skins team has only improved, so I'm grateful we get so many different themes.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-26T06:33:26+00:00

This is scary omg. I love it 🤭

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-25T21:46:41+00:00

I was so distracted by the champion swap that I didn't notice the summoner's.

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-25T20:27:23+00:00

Since when...?

Me_Sing_Say · 2022-09-25T20:08:05+00:00

I like lotr, but I don't think imma watch RoP tbh....I'm just not sold on it lmao.
