I will say right out that I consider "proship/antiship" discourse to be irresponsibly flattening to an extraordinarily nuanced topic. It is a childs idea of literary analysis, and you should hold yourself to a higher standard. Every last one of you is better than this tripe.

People not liking the "cat distribution system" trend because "what if they are just outdoor cats" to me is like. Okay maybe you shouldn't have left your cat outdoors 🤷‍♂️

a 500 word short story with the same plot as your novel that explores how quickly the problem could be solved by sonic the hedgehog

On this day, 21 August 1791, the Haitian revolution began as enslaved Africans rose up in the northern plantations of the then-French colony known as St Domingue.
Historian CLR James explained how enslaved people prepared the revolt:
“Voodoo was the medium of the conspiracy. In spite of all prohibitions, the slaves travelled miles to sing and dance and practise the rites and talk; and now, since the revolution, to hear the political news and make their plans.”
Then, once the rebellion began:
“The slaves destroyed tirelessly. Like the peasants in the Jacquerie or the Luddite wreckers, they were seeking their salvation in the most obvious way, the destruction of what they knew was the cause of their sufferings; and if they destroyed much it was because they had suffered much. They knew that as long as these plantations stood their lot would be to labour on them until they dropped. The only thing was to destroy them. From their masters they had known rape, torture, degradation, and, at the slightest provocation, death. They returned in kind.”
Over the next 13 years, the rebels would eventually overthrow slavery and create the world’s first Black republic. Their revolutionary army also defeated Spanish colonial forces in what is now the Dominican Republic, as well as the British army, which came to the aid of the colonialists. The US feared that the revolution could spread to enslaved people within their own borders, and refused to recognise the republic, only eventually doing so in 1862.
In this book, CLR James recounts the history of the Haitian revolution, and other Black rebellions around the world: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/a-history-of-pan-african-revolt-c-l-r-james

i'm so sorry to ask this of everyone again but we're still in such a bad spot. me and my wife are still trapped in a disintegrating house that isn't our own and can't find jobs to afford anything. we're behind on bills and just had our internet shut off which is our primary connection to the outside world aside from a three hour drive we don't have gas for and phones we can't waste data on. on top of that the people living nearby are getting increasingly hostile and keep starting electrical fires near us. we need a lot and if i tally the number i'll probably get sick from stress again so please if you can spare a few dollars so we can make it or even just spread this post that'd mean the world to me. i promise i'll do everything i can to make it worth your while once im able to create things again 💗💗💗

i started reading this book and kept tilting my head at the comparisons the author was using so i started a running list of them

not to sound like the friend that's too woke but why does this police station toyset for a 5yr old need a weapons safe full of tiny toy-sized automatic rifles. just asking.
