So Captain Underpants explores the friendship between a gay boy and a black bisexual boy and y’all wanna say Beauty and the Beast was the pinnacle of gay representation in children’s films huh

Captain Underpants comes out on Pride Month. Coincidence? I think the fuck NOT.

Excuse but Harold and George aint gay.

You miss the book where Harold has a husband?

Fanfiction aint canon

It’s in the official books written by the actual author, so it is canon. Pilkey wrote it, so it’s canon. 

I refuse to believe he willingly inserted a political agenda into a popular, established children series

Oh look, stuff from the book! The actual canon book. 

Look at Harold with his husband and kids. Very small but super poignant. 

LOL @ ‘wouldn’t put political agendas in children’s books’.

power move: exclusively referring to sports played by women as “sports” and all the men’s sports exclusively as “men’s sports”

referring to athletes who are women as “athletes” and athletes who are men as “male athletes”

TIL Leonard Cohen struggled for years writing the song ‘Hallelujah’, and had to pare down around 80 verses to get his original recorded version. In one writing session he was reduced to sitting in his underwear, bashing his head on the floor.

ok so for my students’ final project, i’m having them select any text they’d like and produce a new edition of it, one that’s targeted towards a different audience than the text in its original form. their edition has to include a critical introduction as well, explaining the changes that they’ve made to the text and to its material form, challenges they encountered, etc.

i’m reading the project proposals now and there are so many good ones – a cnn article on “alternative facts” re-edited to work as a kindergarten lesson about political engagement, rewriting a piece of the californian legislation family code so it’s legible to non-experts or ESL parents, “no fear hegel” (kill me), a version of cat in the hat for high schoolers that includes peritext explaining its connection to the cold war, etc. but i just got to this one: “Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined the underlying feelings of aggression and angst in modern American middle schoolers with the manipulative and cunning nature of Machiavellian philosophy?” 

he’s editing the prince for preteens.

i made the mistake of posting this when i was only halfway through the stack. listen. listen. the official bartender’s guide, for NASA astronauts. 

I want to read several of these.

I look forward to the inevitable CW series based on The Prince for preteens. But will it be better than the manga adaptation…?
