My only contribution to the “kid lit vs. adult lit” discourse is that someone once recommended [series name redacted to protect the innocent] to me with “It’s like Harry Potter if it was for adults”, and the smarmy way they said it instantly turned me off checking the series out.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

From a ten-year-old Facebook post: The thing people tend to misunderstand about Spider-Man’s credo is that it’s scalable. With any power comes concomitant responsibility. Peter Parker didn’t need spider-powers to trip the burglar at the TV station. Almost anyone could have done it.
