y’all, the racist restaurants are outing themselves and you’re really going to give them shit about it? this is a perfect list of establishments to run into the ground, and they’re handing it to you free of charge.
conversely, if a space is marked “unsafe” on the app, you know it IS safe for anyone with common human decency and can be happy with your dining experience knowing you will be protected by staff and other patrons if a MAGAsshole wanders into your midst.
There’s got to be a term to describe that like. Extremely specific era of children’s literature where all the books were novellas printed on low quality paper, pumped out on a near monthly basis, and made for series that sometimes stretched into hundreds of books
Animorphs. Goosebumps. Bailey School Kids. Babysitter’s Club. Magic Treehouse. Series that plague public libraries and second hand book stores to this day. A genre that was nearly wiped out overnight by the success of Harry Potter, and the newfound desire for kids to read long form literature
It was like pulp fiction for kids
The Scholastic Age
i wrote my MS in book publishing thesis on this, so like for anyone actually interested i have the real answer. it actually wasnt wiped out by harry potter. this era is referred to in the publishing world as the near death of ya/childrens lit. that’s WHY it was on such low quality paper and why they had series with so many freaking books every single month. it was the final stage of cash grabbing before publishers p much accepted the genre was dead. that also contributed to why hp was rejected so many times, not bc jk is some underdog, but because literally no houses were picking up ya books. and it wasnt a newfound desire for long form. kids/teens had been yelling for years for more long form literature that actually reflected their struggles but the old assholes didnt wanna listen as always. arthur lavine, that old fuck who edited hp, wasnt gonna pick hp up either but his daughter or granddaughter literally begged him.
ps. it also was literally pulp fiction bc pulp fiction it gets its name FROM that low quality paper you were talking about. its got more wood bits and other less desirable stuff in it so its processed less which saves money and less desirable which also saves money. thats also why it has the best smell bc its the most tree and the least bleach
I love the implication that the tumblr staff was watching hell unfold on the night of November 5th and just started scrolling through all the posts and saving their favourites
tbh i was scrolling tumblr on my personal computer and had to shut it off to turn on my work computer lmao
and then she texted the team and we all did the same
