So this advises "read a dumb romance novel" as one way to deal with the crisis going on, and it& #39;s kind of amazing that they& #39;re literally saying romance novels can be a lifeline in chaos but they HAVE to demean them to absolve themselves from acknowledging any value. https://twitter.com/Shape_Magazine/status/1277610275718549504">https://twitter.com/Shape_Mag...

I& #39;m not even mad. I& #39;m fascinated that you could actually sit down and recognize that the combination of an anticipated ending (no shitty surprises), hope (yay happy endings), and dopamine (romance is paced to rock & roll) are POTENTIALLY SANITY SAVING...

And still call it dumb.

The need to signal to everyone else that you& #39;re not like, stupid enough to LIKE those books, is so overwhelming they literally wrote thar incoherent suggestion, but also bafflingly put guilty in scare quotes.

No quotes required, y& #39;all are CLEARLY feeling guilty. That& #39;s sad.
