I Own A Sword And No, It Didn't Make Any Of My Problems Go Away.

i hate that even self proclaimed radicals think "people shouldnt have to work to survive" is too radical. yes yes advocate for fair wages, but dont forget those wages, even if fair, are just a prize you get for being better at capitalism than ppl like me

Zel has a bunch of toy mice, and sometimes she naps with them. Happy Pride!

Turns out I have iron deficiency and I wasn't faking being tired so I could skip class ! Who would have thought ???

Lost followers after reblogging that whole thing about JKR being radicalized over the years, and that disturbs me.

Like if you think saying that people can be radicalized and manipulated into hate is somehow justifying it, yikes. And if you think that people are somehow just good or evil and that you are not at risk of buying into propaganda, have I got some very red flag news about that!

Idk if its because I am an older Millennial maybe (most who unfollowed were younger) but I watched a ton of that generation slide from one of the most progressive to the far right before my every eyes. Hell, my dad fought alongside his black friends in the Detroit race riots and now he watches Fox News 24/7 and talks about the border wall. Yet still claims he could never be racist because of how he used to be. He doesn’t even realize what he has become.

JKR isn’t a deluded old woman or innately evil, but in fact THE prime example of how well-meaning ignorance and privilege can be weaponized and encouraged down a pipeline, until it turns into a force of hate, and should be a cautionary tale about why educating and being open about these issues are necessary. Because there are those out there who will use those divisions and ignorance to their own ends. And just digging in our heels and saying “that could never be me!” is the very thing that puts you more at risk. I’ve lost so many loved ones down that pipeline and it is more slippery than most realize.

Stay alert, stay compassionate, stay humble, and make sure you move through life guided by reason rather than reaction. I love y’all and don’t want to see your passion twisted to get used against the world.

Je serais vraiment ravie que tu l'écrives, un jour, quand tu auras le temps !

Mais, en effet, prends ton temps, ça me laisse le temps de finir de lire les autres tomes. ^^

Pourquoi faut-il encore que j'aille me fourrer dans un fandom anglophone, hein ? J'sais plus comment on écrit en anglais, j'ai oublié, et pis j'aime mieux écrire en français d'abord. Je vais finir par initier un fandom “Les lames du cardinal” ou n'importe quoi où il y aura des francophones, na !

That was me !

i was waiting in line at a small con, looking at all the cosplays to pass the time and then i saw an aziraphale?? but by the time i recognized the character (blond curly wig, round glasses, fire sword, tiny fluffy wings, and the G.O book) it was too late to call them :/ but while i was looking around for stuff at the con i was also keeping an eye for them and i honest to god didn't see them again until AFTER i decided to leave, which was postponed a bit the time i took a pic and talked w them :D

Was this @bettergroomedwings you saw?  They did a cosplay recently and seemed to have gotten quite a lot of attention for it! :D

I wish age gap discourse hadn't spiraled the way it has because I want there to be a safe space to say "Men in their 40s who date 25 year olds aren't predators, they're just fucking losers"
