I remember during the AIDS crisis health workers starteed to use the phrase “Men who have Sex with Men” in their education outreach partly because a significant number of these men did not self-identify as gay or bi.

It’s in the past tense though; we don’t have to assume it was now-ish.

(I want to believe!)

They were just examples. My point is that novellas can be just as good as full length books!

You are very very fast!

I encourage you to read more novellas! Some really great writing is in them. For example One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Metamorphosis, Animal Farm, I Am Legend, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, Ah Q, Heart of Darkness, A Clockwork Orange, The Third Man, and many many non-famous ones, like ZOMBIE by Joyce Carol Oates.

I find this attitude chilling.

I am by no means a speed reader, but even I think 238 words a minute is painfully slow!

There are too many alarming assumptions in your scenario.

Given their claim I would assume @Treczoks@lemmy.world will have a much faster reading speed.

Their collection quite likely contains shorter genres (novellas, plays, poetry) and might also contain fast reads (trashy fiction, collections they were published in themselves and skim read the rest to be polite, etc).

That thing about macaques is interesting.

P.s I’m liv@pixelfed.nz

Thanks, cool! I was able to start following you by searching for lifeinmultiplec@breeze.pictures in my instance. For some reason your pictures aren’t showing up for me yet but maybe it will populate soon.

Me too. I can’t find you on pixelfed?

I had kind of the opposite. Never used instagram but for some reason pixelfed just felt right and I started posting there when I joined the fediverse.

If they were the size of a penis it would just be the male condom with extra steps.

It would improve living standards and mortality rates for Cuban citizens.

Not exactly.

Any ship that docks in Cuba is barred entry to US ports in the next 180 days.

The US can also sanction foriegn companies that trade with Cuba.

It’s not a blockade but it has a chilling effect on trade.

Brb building time machine.

I mean I’m not exactly offended by it, but if someone uses it that’s a “note to self, this person is most likely misogynist” moment for sure.

I would idolize Avasarala if it wasn’t for S1E1.
