Hello! I love sourcing things. Media literacy, pals! As a friend said, “it’s important to have discussions and call out problematic behavior, esp when it’s so harmful but aligning little discrepancies with actual issues and providing literally no context whatsoever is just ??” The original tweet thread reads that “All of this information is public […]
Big discourse over The Ones We Burn, which is mostly second-hand information from Twitter/Tiktok/Tumblr etc. I’ve collected a list of Goodreads reviews of people who have actually read the book and their thoughts.
