a stupid smart fandom person

I'm an Italian girl, I'm almost twenty, my name is Letizia and I go by she/her.

I'm part of multiple fandoms, from books and animes and animated series, my mains are the riordanverse and the marauders (I am against giving that terf any more money, but I think i can still like the characters)

I'm aroace and pretty much an ally for every other identity in the community, so expect reblogs of posts about lgbtq+ history or things alike

Mimì e la nazionale di pallavolo

e Mimì e le ragazze della pallavolo

sono due anime separati che non hanno niente a che vedere l'uno con l'altro

ci sono rimasta malissimo

rick riordan (yes, the percy jackson writer) reviewed a book on Jews written by a Jew ("here where we live is our country", by molly crabapple) which is about zionism and the Jewish Bund

Shloyme Mendelson on the creation of Israel: “What a bitter irony that after the utter destruction brought upon the Jewish people by Fascism, the latter’s methods of terror are now triumphant in Jewish life…. It is as if the slaughterer had infected his victims with his germs during the slaughter.”

an extract from riordan's review, which I believe is an extract from the book too

as predictable as it is, in the comments there are angry zionists bringing up unrelated topics, like October 7 and hamas, or arguing that riordan can't speak on that subject "just because you read a book or two on a minority within a minority’s views"

a question came to my mind: did they read the same books written by this man that i have? because i read many books speaking about and against prejudice and discrimination in various forms, with main characters coming from several cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and often considered minorities

yes, rick riordan is a white middle-aged man from the US, but he is also a father who started writing of a boy with ADHD because his son had it, and he is also a teacher who wrote a little of his students into every character, and he is also a writer who worked a lot to always improve his representation (see the Magnus Chase series), so I wouldn't even think about him supporting zionism

recently he announced four new books, each written in collaboration with an author from a different minority (and he already announced all of them)
