once again my point about reading being for absolute chumps is proven correct

all these people probably read all kinds of books - carefully and with “introspection” and all it does is lead you to defend human trafficking

She was also the person that wrote the New Yorker piece on Chapo handling Trump's election that became more well known for its illustration. You know the one.

The whole Jia affair today reminds of Alex Tizon’s posthumous essay—they couldn’t be any more different in circumstances, but both are bound by the grand narrative of diaspora. Immigration is a merciless thing, more so when white people crush you without understanding nuance.

tbh I’m so sad she had to write this today and what this could do to her parents. Maybe reclaiming their narrative will prove stronger than the doxxing

Given that Cushbomb made fun of her for it just now, I doubt she'll have an easy time on that.

Hey he kind of started doing more streams in the house now that his neighbours told him off for it. Surprised he didn't have to do that before.

reading is good, but as a society we created this belief that the more books you read the better you are as a person in moral worth

if you go the other way in the sense that the more you read the more you realize that you are a complete and total dumbass, then it is done right

When the Tizon story was first published, Tolentino tweeted a bunch about how conflicted the story made her feel as a Filipino, but now I guess we know the real context.

It's more that her parents paid for her college and affluent life style by mass kidnapping filipino teachers and having their family/friends back home pay off their ransom debt.

She says they didn't have the money to do that, and I'd be inclined to believe her if it wasn't for the shifty way she avoids discussing the actual allegations.

quote:

For Tolentino, writing is a way to figure out what she thinks and to become a better person. ‘When I feel confused about something, I write about it until I turn into the person who shows up on paper: a person who is plausibly trustworthy, intuitive and clear,’ she says, finally deciding that ‘writing is either a way to shed my self-delusions or a way to develop them.’
