He said some stuff which really struck home about following the music of language (which is one of the things I have really admired about the southern reach trilogy) and how writing fiction can substitute for journaling, because you’re always pouring yourself into your art.

NRA forgets that poodles were literally bred to hunt waterfowl and that their signature “fancy haircut” was designed to keep their joints and organs warm in the freezing water. They were even used in war. I fully believe that the hatred for poodles is rooted in misogyny.

Poodles are also super smart so the hatred could be based on not wanting a dog with more IQ than you ;)
