@aescling i think you asked me if i was some kind of libertarian socialist and i got very offended by the word libertarian

*carefully places a note on top of my other note so i can safely place my tea mug on top of it*

ironically, despite my constant references to marxism, i think the fandom coders discord probably thinks of me as an anarchist

thank god this distinction doesn't exist in fiction; i would throw a fit if someone claimed the goal of my writing is to “entertain”

• implication that journalists and technical writers do not use “literary styles and techniques”: ????

• implication that the goal of “creative writing” is to “entertain based on prose style”: ??????

« Creative nonfiction (also known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction or literary journalism or verfabula) is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as academic or technical writing or journalism, which are also rooted in accurate fact though not written to entertain based on prose style. »

is this like “extracted metadata regarding a resource” or…?

@aescling « And if the day should ever come that goth becomes normal, our individuality will have to evolve with it, but at least by then we will have dramatically altered our world to the point that we have become something more than a freakshow for the people on the subway. » is something queer scholars have been fretting about since the beginning

@aescling there was a thread on bobaboard about defining “queer culture” and somebody was like “most people here don't relate to queer culture because it's like you have to be enough of a freak to not be normal but not so much of a freak as to make people uncomfortable” and i was just like “oh no the slippage is real the fated prophecy has occurred”

@aescling what is interesting to me is that at its heart this is saying the same things the queer theorists were saying and around the same time

thanks Art History Archive for maintaining a link for two decades; you guys are champs

it was linked to from the “Goth (subculture)” wikipedia page in like 2010 iirc but of course random independent websites are not considered reputable sources these days
