raising an eyebrow at the post that goes “please read anti-colonial sci-fi from marginalized perspectives” and directly contrasting that against books by “white women” as if being a woman in general and a queer and mentally ill woman in particular (because I’m 80% sure they’re vaguing The Locked Tomb among others) isn’t a marginalized perspective.
like if you want to say “please read sci-fi by authors of color” or “please read sci-fi by authors whose cultures have in fact been subject to colonialism and oppression from an imperial force” then absolutely yeah I support this but just goddamn Say So

How can Tim break Lucy’s heart if he never knew he had it?
He asked her if it was real - and she talked about fucking biology.
Maybe, if they had been direct and upfront from the get go, we wouldn’t be in this hell of miscommunication and redirects.

And here we go with the “Black romance is always about oppression” takes again🙄. Like at this point no amount of recommendations are gonna help. Neither is telling these ppl that Black romance spans genres. Like most of the Black romance I’ve read has been cozy romance so where are y’all getting this idea that most Black romance books include something about oppression??? I even enjoy the street/hood romances like…please be so fr and just say what you wanna say at this point. White romance is better to you cuz it’s easier to digest. Yes you will be called out for your antiblackness but it will make things much easier for all of us.

I am actually very good at picking up on social cues I just ignore them because if you want me to do something you should just fucking tell me instead of expecting me to be a mind reader!

y'know those sitcom episodes where the joke is that Character 1 is missing very obvious social cues and it's very funny because it's so obvious what everyone is trying to say but Character 1 just isn't getting it?
Character 1 is always right in those situations and everyone else in the episode is being a dick
