with everything going on in the world, it's so important to stay educated. a lot of these books are banned because there are parallels to dystopia and today. these books are just some that i have read, and i'm working on reading more banned books, so drop your recs below!

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

**note: by the term, "banned books", it means that these books are frequently challenged, usually by conservative groups, and as a result, these books have been banned in some schools and libraries across the US. so these do NOT mean they are banned everywhere.
BUT the trump administration is aiming to ban A LOT books across the US, and most of the books on here are on their list.**
pro-abortion. pro-divorce. i believe we have the god-given right to give up
i fear i have read every nicholas alexander chavez fic ever on this appβ¦ and im craving more ππ
The lack of shayna x reader is very wild
Gif not mine
i thought it would vanish into thin air quickly but since "nicholas chavez is over party" kinda thingy is happening all over social media, i'd like to hear everyone's thoughts...
i think people can be so dramatic these days β of course he could've declined the picture, he's a grown man, a person who gets a lot of attention at the moment, so he should know how to act in public.
as if for the "costumes" these guys were wearing β they are disgusting and i'm nauseous looking at them, why would they even think it's a good idea?
as if for nicholas, it's really hard to defend him anymore since he clearly doesn't have a PR guy who would tell him how to act in public. for the people who are saying that they're praying on his downfall β aren't you ashamed...? π
comparing nick to cooper is also ridiculous as they are VERY different people who choose to show their support in different ways, and it's okay. they're nothing alike and it's obvious.
and once again, i think nicholas has made some... questionable choices but he still has time to address this whole situation, and if he doesn't β nick, do better.
this makes me really sad because lyle and erik has spoken about him in such a kind way, not holding a grudge against him when he didn't visit them with cooper β once again, his choice. yet he takes a picture with guys that mock the abuse the Menendez brothers went through... it gives me an ick, not gonna lie. and it's not right of him.
no reason to cancel him though β people were saying he's "evil", "soulless", "full of himself" β and i have a hard time believing that. he seems so sweet, his love life is none of my business, but he's doing so many things wrong.
he seems like such a genuine guy, but i feel like he's lost himself in the sudden hype.
got called a dickrider on twitter (by people who are probably 12, but okay...) for choosing not to hate on him. it really surprises me how quick people can switch up, "i never liked him!!!!!!", "hes got these soulless eyes, he's the devil, glad i never found him attractive" β girl shut the fuck up, no one cares, i can promise you that. you're so different, we get it.
celebrities are also people, something a lot of consumers forget about. they are allowed to make mistakes, but they should learn from them. and he's such a young guy (saying this as a person 5 years younger...), there's a long road ahead of him and i honestly wish he could find himself again β‘
woof. that was long. i felt obligated to talk about this stuff because i am a nicholas focused blog, so...
anyways peace & love, and treat people with kindness β‘
Happy late Valentineβs Day who all celebrated.

I woke up on Valentine's Day with a sense of tingling through my veins. As wrestler, I was used to adrenaline-fueled moments in the ring, but today promised a different kind of thrill. My husband, Bret, had hinted at a surprise that would set our hearts racing, and I couldn't wait to see what he had in store.
The day passed in a blur of anticipation, the hours ticking by slowly until it was finally time for Bret's grand reveal. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over our home, I found myself standing in the living room, surrounded by candlelight and rose petals fluttering gently in the air.
Bret stood before me, a devilish grin playing on his lips as he beckoned me forward. The sultry strains of R&B music filled the room, adding to the intimate ambiance that enveloped us. My heart raced as I took in the sight before me, knowing that this Valentine's Day would be unlike any other.
Bret handed me a glass of champagne, the bubbles tickling my nose as I took a sip, savoring the taste of luxury on my lips. His eyes sparkled with desire and adoration, the intensity of his gaze sending shivers down my spine. I knew then that this night held promises of passion and love that would ignite our souls.
As the evening unfolded, Bret revealed a feast fit for royalty, a symphony of flavors that tantalized my taste buds. The spicy dishes added an extra kick to the already charged atmosphere, fueling the flames of desire that burned between us.
In that moment, as I looked into Bret's eyes, I felt a surge of emotion welling up inside me. This Valentine's Day surprise was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the depth of our love, a reminder of the fiery connection that bound us together. As we danced into the night, lost in each other's arms, I knew that this Valentine's Day would be etched in my memory forever.
Iβm super shocked how little Iβve seen people (specifically Americans) care about the Tiktok ban on this website. It officially has passed as a law and I have seen nothing about it on here. I get this site hates Tiktok (for many valid reasons), but this should be terrifying that a country who supposedly loves freedom can ban one of the largest social media platforms in the country because they donβt like it. That should be fucking terrifying. I have yet to see a non-politician American support the ban and it is clearly just about the partial Chinese ownership. I get it, the app sucks, but about 170 million Americans have Tiktok. It is a huge platform that the government is mad they cannot control (like Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc which are all located in America). Itβs still unknown if Biden or Trump will uphold it, but the very fact it has passed should be terrifying for every American. Including the ones who donβt have tiktok. Yes, Tiktok is beyond a flawed platform, but a government banning it with no say from the public is even more flawed. And itβs crazy imo that this site isnβt furious.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
I will be periodically updating the list. PLEASE, PLEASE recommend your favourite BLACK AUTHORS, more importantly smaller creators (less than 1000 followers for instance) and authors that write for thick to chubby black readers and DARK SKIN black girls <3

Obviously the idea that Chinese people are some βothersβ and only realizing after downloading Xiaohongshu theyβre Just Human Beings is bad, but I think the fact that people are learning is more important. Embarrassing, sure, but did you want them to live in a bubble forever? Is directly interacting with Chinese people on an unlocalized app not such a beautiful and fun way to learn about the world, free of American propaganda?
And it all came about because the US Government is banning TikTok due to fear of """Chinese spies"""β¦ and now, faster than ever, Americans are forming friendships with Chinese folks. Amazing stuff, truly.
