Animorphs #20-22 by @kaaauthor

This is a remake of a book I made almost exactly two years ago. That was the 11th book I ever made and this one is the 50th (!) I asked K.A. Applegate to sign the book while it was still in sheets, so I only had one chance to get it right.

🐅 Animorphs 20-22 was the first serialized arc in the 90s book series.

🐅 The heroes recruit a new kid to their guerilla team and grant him morphing powers, only for his selfish and sociopathic tendencies to jeopardize their fight against the alien invasion.

🐅 Young readers were challenged by this subversion of the "new kid" trope and the moral dilemma that developed. Do they kill a fellow teammate? How else can they neutralize him?

🐅 ALSO: Can these middle schoolers crash the G7 Summit and save Boris Yeltsin, Bill Clinton, and other heads of state from infestation?

Your legacy lives forever. You will be avenged. Your Palestine will be free.

Mmm, Twitter thoughts.

I've seen that attitude in the way people talk about Twitter too and it's just bizarre. We talk about tumblr being a hellsite (affectionate), but twitter was always hellsite(derogatory). It got way worse when Elon took over, but it was always bad.

It's the subtle(*) difference between having problems that you assume/hope the management were trying to address, and could understand that it was a challenge so giving them some leeway, and the next guy coming in and advertising all those problems as benefits.

I'm prepared to bet this person's Twitter X-perience has gotten exponentially worse since it became a haven for "free speech"

(*) - sarcasm.

Yaaaaas 😍
