i guarantee there’s no better way to pass your anxieties on to the next generation than by writing children’s books totally suffused with them

the most antiracist possible children’s book would be some shit like “wow look at all these cool fucking rocks,” you want to get children concretely engaged with the world and *not* with their identities

you think black girls won’t notice they’re apparently the only kids who need an entire bookshelf to tell them that they’re “enough”???

from the faces on the books alone you’d think black girls make up 70% of the population, meanwhile apparently 2% of the actual population of this city is black. so who are these books *for*???
meanwhile redmond is 36% asian and there’s *zero* asian representation

in conclusion: how do i become a children’s book author, apparently they’ll let any old millennial do this shit now

i have much more interesting anxieties to pass on to the next generation, such as: “is god dead?” “have we forgotten how to run civilization?” “have we called up that which we don’t know how to put down?”
gotta be worth a book deal or two

Air with your aerosols
Gasoline with your lead
Ensure that the living
Do not envy the dead
Which world do you live in?
Are you a clown?
Do NOT call up that which you can't put down.
