probably insufferable but i hope bucky's adventuring party is patient with him. i hope they treat his attempts to convert them as a minor nuisance at best and all the friction he talks to his parents about is actually nonexistent. i hope they all like him for who he is. i hope his mask slips off while he's with them. I hope one of them made him the little beaded lizard hanging off his bag.

this episode proves a point about the bad kids that i think the rat grinders fully don’t understand.

they’re not out saving the world for glory, or even to simply save the world. they’re also saving people, individuals, when they need it.

they’re showing compassion at every turn.

one conversation with jawbone saved his life. they wrote off zayn but found the truth about him and gave him a home in death he never had in life. they walked ragh up to being able to reevaluate his life, and embraced him when those changes happened, saving his school career by inviting him on the spring break quest. aelwyn was someone they had every reason to leave behind, but they all tried their best to help her and are happy to have her help now. they set it up for gilear to have several jobs, trying at different times to help him and then later literally breaking his curse. they became the friends ayda never had and pushed her father to reach out, not her to reach out to her father. and, of course, lydia. they saw her pain and asked her about it, but also asked her about her friends. they finished her quest with her permission, allowing her to finally rest (and helping ragh to relax now, too).

they’re not just saving the world. they’re making it better, especially for people who have been overlooked. and that’s why people at school like them. not for whatever bullshit reasons the rat grinders have made up in their heads.

Please go watch Sex Explained on Netflix. Not only is it a great resource for the basic sex education that is sorely lacking in the U.S., but some of ya’ll need to take a deep breath and remember the difference between fantasy vs reality. This purity culture thing that we’re going through right now is directly harmful to responsible, healthy sexual expression. BTW this woman, Lisa Diamond, is a noted psychologist and has been pushing for greater understanding of womens sexuality as a whole.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

Big fan of how dimension20 is done in the dome. I like that they herd all these comedians into a little zoo enclosure and expose them to emotional damage in there. Has the vibe of being a toddler under the big rainbow tent thing with a big circle of other toddlers.

cake is such an underappreciated band. i can’t believe we brought back low rise flare jeans before we brought back cake in the top 40
