Unfortunately, much like Dune, Frankenstein is one of those books that people claim they have read because they think watching one of the adaptations counts as reading the book. It doesn't. There is so much nuance in those books that are glossed over in the adaptations that NEEDS to be experienced

I honestly did not know that was a thing. But then when I want to know about something I want to know EVERYTHING
Deb Terry (@lacemuse.bsky.social) reply parent
I've done both.....for both. Frankenstein is so short it barely takes me a few hours so I don't have that on audio. Dune I have on audio if only because if I try to read that long a book my eyes will blur for the day and then I can only go to bed. Simon Vance is the best narrator. Also God-Emperor

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

A few things worth holding onto: •Rest doesn’t mean weakness—it’s fuel. •Boundaries are not walls—they’re doors you control. •Speaking up about your struggles doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you human. •Asking for help doesn’t erase your strength—it multiplies it.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.

Although it is Illegal for Trump to send the National Guard into a STATE, to reduce Crime, given he is already a Convicted Criminal, he is use to breaking Laws. However, after he leaves Office, the State can Indict Trump for Breaking the Law. Vance can’t Pardon State Crimes. Trump won’t do it, Bluff

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
