So he's secretly a black feminist? Or just like to plagiarize from one?

He's never had an original thought in his life. He was taken to Silicon Valley to be groomed by Peter Thiel & mentored by Curtis Yarvin. He obliged them, completely changing his values & personality. I don't know how Usha stays with such a weak man. He's not the person she married. Is she a hostage?

I am upset

I sense the P word will be used. 😉

FWIW, the church on his Communion book ain’t even Catholic—it’s a stock photo of a Methodist church in KY.

Wow. I didn’t think I could hate this guy more, and yet...

Plus there is this…. bsky.app/profile/head...

what would Harald Bloom say

is communion's art ai generated...

Good God... they really don't have an original thought, do they?

Everybody buy and read bell hooks

New JD Vance Bell Hooks prompt just dropped

Do not ever buy any Couch Fucker books.

I am aghast. Once might be a coincidence, but twice? Abhorrent Alt text below with full book titles (and publish dates) in the reply

no

Weird…

Plagerism of titles?

bell hooks ALL UPPER-CASE J D VANCE

As a joke?! 🇬🇧 so probably don't get it. Get thee to alawyer JD, midterms are coming.

God help us if he tries to speak on Belonging

WTFFF

omg

Hell Books?

Vance can’t even come up with his own titles. 😂😂😂

Ow

What the fucking fuck?! In addition to all his other horrible traits and actions, so many of which are racist, sexist, & capitalist, JD Vance steals/plagiarizes book titles from the incomparable African American feminist scholar bell hooks?! #PINKS

I used to think the only thing I liked about hillbilly elegy was the title and now I know it’s bc he stole it from bell hooks

🤯

And the best part is that the church on the cover is methodist, NOT catholic...

Violence

I’m not enjoying the writing of this season of Reality. It’s too trite.

Oh..

I am sorry to say that I bought Hillbilly Elegy. I realized as I read it that I had enough of Vance, but I didn't want to transmit him to anyone else, so I put the book in my garage, where silverfish slowly ate it. "The humblest of all God's creatures" did us all a favor.

WITAF

The white nationalists are attempting to rewrite history. I just bought another copy of Bell’s books and I will search on Bell’s books a million times on Google til she is ranking #1.

it feels like a political alignment chart that escaped the group chat

creepy

The Vance “Teaching to Transgress” and “killing rage” will be something to behold.

If only he had read them and been changed for the better. If he did read them it was to know his enemy.

😑

Wait...I did not draw this connection! Wtf

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

This is honestly some blasphemy

💀

Uhh..

goddammit

Shady Vance and plagiarism are common with the GQP.

tressie what the absolute fuck

People Magazine wrote about it. people.com/jd-vance-cal...

Performance christian Believe what I tell you

It's too early in the day for me to be this mad.

Speechless

some bell hooks and some hell books

Oh lord have mercy

still waiting for Vance's trilogy on pedagogy then

👀 I can’t unsee that.

These mediocre dudes are all the same.

Books his wife recommended to him while they were dating. Neither of them read either one.

The depths of my utter disgust with that man are absolutely impossible to articulate

Damn!😳

👀

We are all buying Communion, by Bell Hooks on the others release date on 6/16/26, correct?

🤝

Wait...what the heck is going on?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fash always try to steal that of which they are most envious. They believe it makes them look witty, and (ironically) devalues the object of their thievery. There is only one Bell Hooks. No one will ever say that about the empty, replicable vessel that is JD Vance.

This is like when there's a really popular show Netflix doesn't have, but they DO have a cut-rate show with almost the same name that pops on the "recommended" and "popular" suggestions.

There is no more appropriate meme than this one

The Insta take back (buying and reading both of hooks’ books) was a wonderful thing.

huh. well how about that.

Someone does not like you @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

This is appalling and super weird.

What the fuck?!?!

Wtaf

😳

coming up next, The Desire to Change

I can/can’t believe my eyes The gall This cuts me so deep how intentional this must have been and it took me this long to see it

"The will to change" will complete this trilogy when it's time for his post-Trump pivot.

looking at this, I feel like I'm having a stroke

Does the D stand for Dolezal?

I need a journalist to ask about this because JD Vance will say he doesn’t know who that is and we’ll all get to watch him learn about bell hooks in real time

...in ter est ing

She can no longer speak about this.

Where We Stand: Heritage Matters

When his bookshelf circulated, some were convinced he’d never read any of it, claimed books were picked by set dresser. I don’t think that’s right—think there’s a real + much knottier relationship to left-liberal canon. Everyone in YLS FedSoc knows these texts well enuf to fuel antagonism for them.

Next up for JD: I ain’t a woman: White men and feminism

Its funny because belle hooks is Vance's drag name.

Pope Leo should ex-communicate this fraud for breaking the Third Commandment.

oh my

Doesn’t seem like a coincidence, but do you think he reads, or is even aware of bell hooks? Maybe his publisher decided this?

j d vance

Wow. I guess next we’ll have Teaching to Regress. Or better yet, Teaching, What Teaching?

Vance, or should I say James Donald Bowman, was raised to believe that Plagiarism is the most sincere form of flattery.

Part of the right-wing‘s MO is to co-opt and appropriate cultural (mostly liberal / left) ideas and forms of expression. This is 100% intentional and malicious.

I hadn't noticed, but if bell hooks were alive she would have seen it.

👀

The fuck now

Dog Doggo GIFALT: Dog Doggo GIFmedia.tenor.com

Someone do a phot shop work up of JD Vance’s teaching to trangress

Omg! They’re never original

Here we thought plagiarism was a personal favorite only of the MAGAphucka’s Third Anchor Baby Mama💁🏽‍♀️ only to learn it’s an Administration policy/procedure 🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh no. Search engine and keyword manipulation to override some of the most influential writings of our time.

it's giving:

On the Vance side: the sort of hillbillies who go to that sort of church think that Catholics are demonic. (Generic church bulletin church - very careful that nothing identifies it as Catholic.)

Smh

this made my morning.

“JD Vance is an op designed to lead far-right partisans to the work of bell hooks via SEO manipulation” I whisper to myself, shuffling slowly around the common room after activity time

Oh hell no

I think we know what’s next…

Can’t have nothing…

I always wondered if JD Vance actually knew what an elegy was?

Literally gasped

This is 1000% what Naomi Klein refers to as the Mirror World in Doppelgänger: it’s co-opting the feelings without concern for the facts.

i'm going back to bed

They sent this to intentionally annoy you?

What the actual fuck?

What the actual

Can we make Bell Hooks' works top the search engines, by looking for these with her name?

If his next book is titled something like “A Few Things About Love” I’ll lose it

Totally different. I meant look… ALL CAPS! 🙃

That maliciously vacuous amoral smirking little demon.

Well, can't unsee that.

Wow lmao

Hmmmmmm. Yeah that is curious in a f-ed up way.

Just bought my copy!

He’s obsessed. Green with envy.

Oh no

Have any tables that need propping up? Recycle the papers as kitty litter? So many choices.

Oh damn.

Gross

He's going to say he never heard of bell hooks and that's going to send me into orbit.😑

Jaw on floor

He's deeply disturbed.

He's freakin Randall. 🤷‍♂️

Welp…I’ve never seen them in the same room together…

Holy Shhhhhh, just wild.

I'll take bell hooks, please, any day, any time. JD, not so much, well, never.

These guys never have an original thought.

Bell Hills needs to get a restraining order. Why anyone would want to read the testimony of a 45-year-old man on his third name and third religion about his Christian path? Give him a year and JD will be JR and a Southern Baptist.

This feels like a peek into how his mind works. Gross

Some *one* or some *thing*? Unforgivable if the former, inhuman of the latter.

I am so NOT stunned. Because yes, of course. And… I just want to never see or hear from him ever again. Can’t we have that? Why can’t we have that.

Just watched a TikTok on this where they suggest that this could be an attempt to change Google results so his white nationalist religious book pops up instead of hooks' work. Devious shit.

This feels like cursed knowledge.

Oh. Oh my god.

He's going full Melania.

What's next? "Brothers of The Yam?" If I had better photo editing skills, I'd start mocking up some predictive covers. I just know Lil' J.D. is salivating over, "Outlaw Culture."

I won't say JD Vance has been actively trying to erase bell hooks, Black woman feminist academic, by appropriating her book titles and covers. I'd use a different word.

Now curious who came up with his titles

I am so grateful today Gloria Watkins (rip) did not live to see this. However. You made me see it, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

J.D. Vance's "Ain't I A Woman?" is going to be a real coup de grace.

I like Bell Hooks writing, Vance not at all. You may already know about this critique of Hillbilly Elegy, if you don’t tropicsofmeta.com/2017/02/27/t...

I know we are anti-AI. It was interesting reading how the Communion books intersect.

Tressie through the looking glass.

I just deflated completely

I hope she haunts his a**

The man is such a mediocre creep

Nope. Nope. Noooope.

Ya'll can shove this book along with Jake Tapper's hatchet job on Biden and Comey's whiner and Bob Woodward's "lemme save the good stuff for $$ and not save the country."

There is not an original thought in his bowling ball head.

I…

One day his new book will sit at the peddlers mall for a dollar, gathering dust.

Ugh.

"To the shock of everyone and the dismay of many, the most anticipated book of 2029 is JD Vance's 'Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center'"

Well damn.

My soul is weary.

that’s downright spooky

I would prefer to read the ones on the left to the ones on the right (both literally and politically).
