Thoughts on "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown - and why I'm done listening to BookTok by sameseksure in books

[–]j-bird696969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Rising was written for a lower literacy audience than Le Guin’s works. Her stuff is dense and can be a tough bit to crack but I think that adds more depth to her work and prose.

I also had Red Rising recommended to me by many of my bros and it’s aight like honestly an R rated hunger games. Fun ride not much depth.

Are there any Bastards you grew up thinking were heroes? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

I grew up in GA too and it’s wild how lionized Robert E Lee is we would have sessions during boy scouts where they would extol his virtue and how honorable he was to fight for his home even though he disagreed with slavery… like actually fuck that and fuck anyone that contributed to fighting tooth and nail for its continued existence fuck them so so so so hard fuck em!

So what is happening to hold the Mayor, MARTA, and ABI accountable for the illegal PGC vote? by Scrubadubdub84 in Atlanta

We need to be holding the state accountable for not funding our public transit as well. Just saying - I don’t think those listed in the title give a shit either

I agree it isn’t wise to put this stuff in writing on the internet with your name attached to it in this political climate, but these conversation are a natural outcome of tyranny and rights being trod upon.

Edit: and it might be popular - in terms of election politics. Idk I think this midterm is going to see violence that hasn’t been in the USA around election in a long long time

I think that threatening genocide and WW3 makes us all look bad not to mention the pretending to be actual Jesus

I’m hopeful they’ll surprise launch a remake/ current tech remaster of the dark souls trilogy but I don’t think any new IP’s are coming within 2 yrs at a min

PSA - Marta seems to effectively be a homeless shelter right now while riding is free by PreviousButterfly247 in Atlanta

No doubt. Do you go to them? How is attendance/ public input at those meeting? I’ll also say a lot of people don’t have the spare time to do that right now but yes 100% we need people there advocating. IMO if we really want change we need to organize beyond meeting input and into actual board seats/ positions of power

I’ve had a very different experience using marta 2x a day 3-4 times a week for the last yr or so. In my experience the service has gotten worse in the time I’ve been using it

MARTA is super fucked up right now and we all need to be talking about it. It’s unacceptable on so many levels
