It is indeed a tweet for the ages. Must be documented for the historical record, honestly. May we all learn, from this example, how best to properly snatch one’s wig

So, the internet is interesting. In fact, still using this term (which has been in general use for some 30+ years) can actually be misleading of what is now possible, today, implying that the technologies & mechanism available for commercial use in the 90s remain the same…
…or essentially unchanged for what we’ve grown accustomed to for the better part of a decade, when in reality, what was possible 30 years ago and how we used “the internet” is very different from how it is used today.
For example, the song below released in 1999. When I’d first heard it on the local radio’s Top 40 hits, I was ~11 yrs old at the time & quickly grew enamored with it as a manifestation of my angst & (fabricated) unreciprocated affections for a classmate.

They have more-or-less pro photogs take those photos who know what features are available and how to customize them for optimum effect. They also don’t showcase the most popular/common types of photos most users take (like, say, mirror selfies)
I’ve got a friend who frequently travels the country and he manages to take some gorgeous photos of landscapes and cityscapes and stuff. The phones are definitely capable, it’s just learning those features takes time/effort most people just likely won’t put in for a random photo.
(Hell, a lot of people won’t refuse to even consider using the crop feature before sharing on social media, and that’s at least self-explanatory and requires zero photography knowledge/experience)

To me, it seems like an extension of the idea children *belong* to their parents. Parents have “a right” to “raise” their children however they see fit, which seems to chiefly manifest in this stringent effort to mold them exclusively into the sort of person they want them to be.
Children exploring the world, their place in it, and finding themselves, is only “acceptable” insofar as this journey is left constrained to the parents motives and agenda. If you don’t turn out like how your parents wanted, either you or their are a failure (usually you)
And it’s fucking bullshit.

Children may generally for some time be incapable of taking care of themselves and require a degree of training/preparation for individual accountability, but that shouldn’t mean they must absolutely be beholden to their parents like they’re property.

There’s way too much to choose just a single book, so I’ll go with something a little more recent & relevant to my life, these days, and emblematic of my developing relationship with fiction & storytelling as a burgeoning writer:

Bendis’s original run of All-New X-Men

I grew up with the X-Men. My dad and brother collected the books, which at first, I wasn’t allowed to read being too young to handle them carefully (with the exception of my bro’s The Dark Phoenix Saga TPB). As a 90s kid, the original cartoon was my entry to these characters.
As the years passed, I began to read the books and explore more of their legacy and the impact these stories had not only in sci-fi, but also American culture with regards to their meditations on bigotry and the pains of self-discovery as framed by the emergence of one’s powers.

I think we ought to consider that people’s attachment to their resentment on this subject works similarly to nostalgia. It happened a long time ago and it was a matter supposedly worthy of national attention & scrutiny on a deeply personal level.
In those days, the Clintons were unquestionably beloved (especially in black circles), and in those days, public attitudes regarding men’s complicity in affairs and their (presumably lacking) capacity for resisting sexual seduction of any kind were very different.
It was all too easy to look at ML as an insidious vixen against whom Bill had no chance of resisting once she’d set her sights on him. Or so went the narrative at the time. I always think of “Hamilton,” the lyrics to “Say No To This,” and how I’ve heard straight men discuss… ImageImageImageImage
