A Memo I Posted For My Production Company Yesterday That Is Also A Personal Statement.

A memo I posted for my production company yesterday that is also a personal statement.

I love the HP series. It genuinely saved my life as a child with depression. I took important lessons from it about standing up for what is right, no matter what, and it helped me grow into the person that I am today, but we can do better. Part of growing up means taking a critical eye to our childhood lessons and sometimes, such as with the Potter series, we will find other, more harmful lessons embedded with the good.

My friends are more important to me than any fantasy world. We can create a real world full of magic, love, & community right here. But that means not tolerating or supporting hate. We deserve fantasy worlds that are community building, not community excluding.

I encourage all my friends who love the Potterverse to pour your money and fandom time into other worlds. I've got recommendations too! Try the So You Want to Be a Wizard series by Dianne Duane or any of the Tortal universe books by Tamora Pierce. I'm also enjoying Linden A Lewis' (very queer) First Sister series.

It's time to let this one go.

Meet my pet wolves... From the astral realm.

Every time I astral project, my pet wolves gather to meet me.

I used regular wolf pictures as substitutes, as their astral selves are too much for a mortal’s mind to comprehend.

JSYK just because they’re my pet wolves doesn’t mean I own them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most of them are women and I don’t think men should ever own women since that’s fucking sick and I’m a feminist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruby - My first ever pet wolf. I got her during one of my first astral projections. The Queen of the Death Wolves before Majoris came along. 500 kills and counting. Former leader of the pack, until she hired her daughter, Majoris, to lead. 

Meet My Pet Wolves... From The Astral Realm.

Majoris - The Wolf God of Color. The soul and leader of my pet wolf pack. Daughter of Ruby, a virgin birth, as she is much like Christ. 400,000 kills. Fujoshi. The strongest wolf ever. Immortaler than Jesus. 

Meet My Pet Wolves... From The Astral Realm.

Crushed Soul - The only male in the pack. However, he is a feminist. He fights every single day for women, so he has many scars. His name is Crushed Soul since every day his soul feels crushed by how many women are suffering. Has killed 400 Texan politicians in the astral realm. An amazing fighter. The only reason he doesn’t kill more is because he doesn’t want to have a higher kill count than any of the women in his pack

Meet My Pet Wolves... From The Astral Realm.

Sapphire - The princess of the pack. Daughter of Death, the first ever Death Wolf. 1,000 kills. If Majoris were to ever die or retire, Sapphire would take over. However Majoris is immortal and all of her attacks always kill (no missing or nothing). Elderly but she doesn’t show it. 

Meet My Pet Wolves... From The Astral Realm.

Death - Super duper elderly, but she doesn’t show it other than eating Werther’s and downloading viruses onto my astral computer (dammit Death!!!). The first ever Death Wolf, and the ancestor of all other Death Wolves.

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

azfamily.com
Horne said two staff members are sorting through the calls, and two investigators are working on credible leads.

listen to me. thoughts do not have moral weight. a thought will never hurt anyone. the actions you take because of a thought can hurt yourself or other people, but the thought itself is powerless and there is no such thing as thought crime.

"but i have thoughts about being violent towards people! towards children! surely that makes me dangerous!" are you being violent? for real? with your actions? if not, then you are not actually hurting anyone

"but i have thoughts that are offensive and hurtful! they're bigoted, or they're horribly rude, or they're invalidating to others! i'm a horrible person." and what are you doing with those thoughts, exactly? are you taking bigoted actions, or saying those rude things, or taking steps to actually invalidate people? no? well then. no one is getting hurt. and in the meantime, if it really bothers you, doing things like helping unlearn your biases (both against minorities and just, like, against furries and theatre kids and shit) might help some of those thoughts go away, but sometimes you just get shitty thoughts.

"but i have horrific thoughts about sex!" are you hurting people. are you forcing people to do things they don't consent to. or are you just playing the upsetting possibility in your mind over and over again, and acting like that's even remotely the same thing?

thought. crime. is. not. real. OCD. is. hell. (and anything else that may cause intrusive thoughts.) but it does not define you. your thoughts will always, always come secondary to your actions. you're gonna be fine.

"isnt bullying recognized as a form of abuse" the thing is, like, not broadly, societally speaking... i mean think of all the posts u see regularly that are like, "bring back bullying" etc. "everyone needs to get bullied a little it builds character." can u imagine people making these statements broadly about abuse? bring back abuse? abuse builds character? nah and that is because people do not think of bullying as abuse, they do not think of it as traumatic and i actually think this is in large part because it is seen as an issue that only affects children (not even true) and people still broadly feel that children's feelings and experiences do not matter

Dracula

Angry neckbeards in 2007: I wish those ignorant Twilight girls would read Dracula and know the TRUE TERROR of the vampyr.

Those same girls 15 years later, reading Dracula as part of a giant internet book club: Fucking hilarious.
