fucking the everything bagel for everything

fucking the war bagel for war

Crap. I shouldn’t have laughed this hard.

Most likely it was the deadline that made them think that but

To be fair to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, if I wrote some pulp short stories for a quick buck and an obsessive fandom sprung up around it at a time when fandom culture as we now know it didn't really exist yet, and I had to witness people being insane about my characters while having very little precedent for what the fuck was going on, I would also be confused and frightened and desperately trying to escape from the situation I'd ended up in.

If you doubt Jews when we talk about antisemitism we experience, it is much more likely that you have your own unaddressed antisemitic beliefs then the alternative, which is that you have developed the psychic ability to detect “inauthentic claims of antisemitism” and it just so happens to go off every time a Jew opens their mouth

Couldn’t have said this better myself.

Idk what person with chronic illness needs to hear this, but you can do things to make your responsibilities nicer for yourself. You can get an ice cream after a blood draw. You can sit down for tv time after an injection. You can pick out the bandaids that have cartoon characters on them instead of the plain ones. Being an adult doesn’t stop you from benefiting from encouragement. Go for whatever fits with your routine/abilities/budget and makes life a little better. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down etc etc

Finding out that the author behind A Series of Unfortunate Events is a Jew makes the sheer absurdity of the incompetence of the adults in the Baudelaires’ lives make soooo much more sense when you start seeing Count Olaf as a metaphor for antisemitism. How they repeatedly tell whoever their current guardian is who and what is after them and they just patronizingly tell them that they don’t know what they’re talking about or choose not to see through the very obviously thin disguise (a metaphor for dog whistles). The gaslighting. The willful ignorance. It’s so painfully familiar.

The Netflix adaptation makes this even more painfully obvious too, with some new lines echoing specific ways Jews are marginalized, and details like one of the very few adults to take the Baudelaires seriously reading a book about the Weimar Republic, or the ever-so-subtle detail that the Village of Fowl Devotees flag is literally just the Nazi flag with a bird instead of a swastika.

Evil transgender tip #9 read up on intersex people. A lot of trans and intersex struggles overlap and solidarity is important.

mature content warnings on text posts of nothing but letters on a screen. . . remember when you were allowed to post like an adult and not be shamed or silenced for it

They hate me for being a horny pervert but I have warriors defending my honour across the globe

The idea that trans men gain privilege by transitioning is absurd. You can not queer your way into privilege thats not how anything works

I see so many people saying shit like "the way fandoms behave makes me really nervous to write the story I want to write, what if my fandom sucks" and I just want to sit down with all of them and be like it's ok, you don't have to worry, you're not going to be famous
