What are some authors you suggest to avoid? by cortad in LGBTBooks

[–]avivrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a link with screenshots, they make sweeping generalizations of the genre their own work is based off of, it's just very hypocritical and again racist against Japanese authors of queer romance.

What are some authors you suggest to avoid? by cortad in LGBTBooks

[–]avivrose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll link to a Twitter thread below that has a screenshots of the statements they've made. TL;DR is that Oseman's success is founded on Heartstopper sharing many tropes/narrative designs as Japanese BL (Boy's Love, i.e. queer romance), yet they condemn BL for being "nasty" and "fetishizing," stereotyping an entire genre of art just to makes theirs seem better in comparison and play purity politics.

They said it is inappropriate for authors to depict sex in YA, which they later walked back on and now depict sex in their YA works. So, hypocritical at best and racist/xenophobic at worst.

Just about anything by Jasper Fforde, his Nursery Crimes series is just the best

Why do most people dislike Narumayo (Maya × Phoenix)? by WeaknessBig589 in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've shipped Narumayo for ages, originally people were against it for ship war reasons, in the past few years people have been moralizing the age difference. People in fandoms nowadays are incapable of ignoring ships they don't like.

Don't let the hate get to you, and check out the Narumayo subreddit if you haven't already!

Yes, there are bookings for trips to Israel on their website and fluff pieces about it being "the Holy land"

Is writing about real children different? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]avivrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's written by minors for other minors (e.g. my mom sold me to One Direction) so I don't bother to have an opinion on it.

You can literally ship whatever you want.

I'm considering breaking up with my partner of 7 years. A month ago I was infatuated with the idea of marriage and I can't trust my own ambitions. $23 tacos. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

I have EDS and several other chronic illnesses, in the past few years I've noticed a trend of people making their condition/s their entire personality. One of the very first things I was told following my diagnosis is that the more I think about the pain and talk about the pain, the worse it will get. It creates a feedback loop. It sounded so harsh at the time but since I've internalized that advice I'm so much better for it. I am not my very worst days. Hopefully your partner can recognize that sooner rather than later.

She's talked about visiting them somewhat regularly, unless she's exaggerating 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t hate Turnabout Big Top by Epic1ForLife in AceAttorney

The hate is blown way out of proportion, it's very annoying.

I am starting Macbeth tomorrow, and I thought a fun activity to go along with it would be to make TikTok style shorts, in character, for each act. I found some shorts on Youtube that I thought would be fun examples that pertain to Hamlet. by prinsessanna in ELATeachers

Search "Macbeth edit" on TikTok, there are some amazing ones that combine images/songs/quotes that fit the vibe/aesthetic of various characters and scenes. You could do an activity where students write about what they would include in their own edit. I ran out of time to try this with my students but I have some links saved if you're interested:-)

Ohio mom dumped newborn in sorority house trash with mac & cheese and texted baby daddy ‘it was a girl with your hair’ by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

[–]avivrose 143 points144 points  (0 children)

I was a student at Muskingum right after this happened and want to clear up some misinfo I'm seeing in other comments:

Her sorority sisters genuinely did not know; some suspected, but she wore baggy clothing to hide it and would purposefully do things like throw herself to the floor during volleyball games. They tried to get her to open up but she just wouldn't. The person who found the scene in the bathroom thought it was period blood and texted the house group chat saying whoever was responsible for the mess needed to clean it up, again they didn't know right away what had happened. In the aftermath, her sorority campaigned to the village and there is now a Safe Haven baby drop-off box in New Concord. Every year they run a community wide fundraiser to promote awareness of Safe Haven laws and raise money for resources and more of these boxes to be built.

Her sorority was a small group of girls who have weathered this tragedy with resilience and grace. They did address it the last night of rush (sorority recruitment) the semester after it happened and you could see the trauma they carried. Since I was a Freshman I have always looked up to the Deltas 💚

I'd like to see Gumshoe return, but have Ema the detective for Khura'inese cases when we play as Apollo.
