by
A tumblr post: @unpretty says: did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness @bisexuhowl reblogs with: #I met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion # so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different'#this is my nightmare' rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell they call him prince charming because he's always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn't know if he's supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you're a prince that shit starts wars

annotations are no fun unless you share with everyone

by
A social media post by @TheLittestMemes. They type "Oh my god what an annotation" about an annotation in a book. The annotation is "Hey guys, welcome back my youtube chanel" written before the book text, which is "THE Vampire Lestat here. I have a story to tell you. It's about something that happened to me. It begins in Miami, in the year 1990, and I really want to start right there. But it's important that I tell you about the dreams I'd been having before that time, for they are very much part of the tale too. I'm talking now about dreams of a child vampire with a woman's mind and an angel's face, and a dream of my mortal friend David Talbot."

Seems to be from Anne Rice’s The Tale of the Body Thief, fourth in β€œThe Vampire Chronicles” series.

Joking is serious business

by
Post by prokopetz Death of the author: Treating the author's stated interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God. Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and circumstances of the work's authorship as entirely irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though the work had popped into existence fully formed just moments ago. Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a particular interpretation of the work to draw conclusions about what the context and circumstances of its authorship must have been. Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally responsible for every possible reading of their work, even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated at the time of its authorship. Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing conclusions about authorial intent based on elements that are present only in subsequent adaptations by other authors. Weekend at Bernie's of the author: Insisting that the author would personally endorse your interpretation of the work if they happened to be present. Reply by bugbastard | thought this was going to be a joke, but these are all very real things you see people do. Reply by prokopetz I'm never more serious than when I'm joking.

How do memes function today?

by
A pink heart-shaped meme photo of Trump and Mamdani that reads: "Memes no longer function as critique. Instead, they are the audience's contribution to the political pantomime; we are entertained and impotent. Yet unlike a pantomime, where our voice is a staged repetition, the voice of the meme is more ambiguous. Today, when we share a meme, we do not really know if we do so ironically, or if part of us identifies with its perverse imagery."

We are certainly entertained
