I don’t really like “media literacy” as a concept but I do wish elite members of society stopped trying to build the dystopias they see in movies because they only paid attention to slick production choices and ignored the message that these are awful places to live.

I think all my novels are under 300 pages? At least the way I formatted them.
They cover a decent range of genres from romcoms to sci fi dystopias to historical romances to fantasci action.

desantis and right-wing governors like him turning states into maga dystopias are a big reason the country just torched the GOP
DeSantis: "Let's just be clear about what happened last night. This is as close to an extinction-level event for Republicans in many parts of the country probably as we have seen in the last 100 years ... if the Republican Party doesn't have Texas an anchor, we're not going to be viable nationally"

I've started writing optimistic utopian fantasy because I was really feeling the absence of stories set in places I might want to live.
And maybe because I superstitiously feel as though we wrote so many dystopias that we ended up in one.

OTD 1980: The Two Ronnies – The Worm That Turned
After so many ’70s grim dystopias, now the Ronnies react to Margaret Thatcher (but not in the way ’80s dystopias would)
Though somehow I don’t think being dominated by Diana Dors had quite the effect on boys watching that the writers intended…

House music is very much a continuation and celebration of Disco, which is both beautiful and important. But Atkins wanted to be weird. He wanted to be avant garde. He wanted to talk about Utopias and Dystopias, decline and rebirth. He wanted his music to be eclectic, futuristic.

I feel this way about manufacturing systems--why are there so many dystopias with laser guns that go pew-pew but no tractors? That's not how economies work.

Dumb question: is there any fiction about this moment? I've been so focused on when things go wrong and dystopias... (I started reading Divergent and winced when they claimed community as their strength) Where is the hope books?

and by definition I don't just mean by those hypothetical people, I mean can we even call it a utopia if it doesn't satisfy everyone/do no harm/something? which is also why I think most dystopias aren't dystopias, because they're not the opposite of that unattainable (narratively boring) perfection
