Reasons why I won't ever read dune again, and why I chucked my copies in the garbage years ago:

• The novels are a racist "white savior" narrative

• The novels are sexist and perpetuate the myth that women can just "shut down" a pregnancy at will

• Cultural appropriation is all over the place

• Paul Atreides and other central characters are literally the product of a eugenics program

• The novels are homophobic and fatphobic due to Baron Harkonen's portrayal

• Books 5 and 6 include themes of sexual assault through the Honored Matres, and each of those two books includes a scene where a minor being raped. Both scenes are worse than they sound.

@kat @AshBunny Perhaps the distress is caused by social anxiety, or a fear of being judged by others?

@AshBunny not everything has a reason. sometimes you just like something because you like it

@brainblasted I believe it. My scariest dreams can almost always be summarized as "parent/sibling is mad at me"

Covid-19 is now the leading cause of death among police in the US, due to their widespread resistance to vaccine mandates.

I forgot how awful the animation in Hoodwinked was, lol @.@

@human_dude Wouldn't be surprised by this at all. I am now imagining a landlord that charges their tenants based on what furniture they have, sorta like how taxes used to be levied based on what possessions a person had in their home.

@kat @k That guy probably also believes that "traumatized" means "offended" :-/

FLOOFS

Today's been a looooong day due to drama @.@

@lyingkhajiit I once read a book with a section on ebonysmithing. The book said that if you weren't careful, ebony would shatter while being forged.

Which makes me wonder, how the hell is it supposed to be a good material for weapons and armor if it is that fragile?

grrr... for some reason Gitea's configuration got wiped when I last did a system update on my laptop -.-
