Something Witty and Sarcastic

"average human is in 5 relationships" is actually a statistical error. Fandoms Grace, whom is head cannoned as every sexuality and shipped with 7 different people, was an outlier and should not have been counted.

*turns my attention inwards* mmmmm. no *turns my attention back outwards* oh god

turn your attention to The Character

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.

Race is a social construct, not a biological trait, which means that the definitions of race change over time, culture, and context. Claiming otherwise is racist pseudo-science.

i LOVE the word decorum . like please! have some decorum ✋

sorry but someone assuming you have "left a fandom" when you don't post about it a lot anymore feels like bilbo coming home to the sackville bagginses having him presumed dead and selling all his stuff. girl i was just on a little quest????

Happy 10 year anniversary to this post!

I’m so pro abortion I feel insane hearing any other take on it

Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors

I looove when food is in a bowl. Frequently plates are being brought out and I'm thinking this could've been a bowl meal but nobody gets it

lesbian scifi is so easy. here’s a woman in cargo pants and a tank top on a spaceship. are you with me

maybe it’s not even cargo pants. maybe it’s coveralls rolled to + tied around the waist. maybe she even has fuckoff boots

maybe i want to read about (fall in love with) all of them

Thinking about the Lord of the Rings after seeing it in theaters recently. Thinking about how it tells much not just about Tolkein and the hard times he went through but about us and the hard times we're going through now. How the Fellowship were just people who were doing their best and how none of them could have done it on their own. Thinking about the Big Folk doing things on a Big Scale, battling Balrogs and killing Witch Kings and raising an army of the undead--throwing smoke bombs back at cops and blockading arms shipments and climbing fences to impeach a corrupt prime minister. Thinking about the little folk doing little things, carrying their friends when they can't go any farther and holding each other in grief and getting into drinking contests that end with someone under the table--lighting candles at vigils and donating $5 because it's all they have and wearing rainbow bracelets so that kid knows they're safe. Thinking about people losing themselves in despair in the face of overwhelming odds, living with Mordor on their front step, and becoming bitter and destroying themselves before anyone else can--doomscrolling and placing blame and deciding there's no winning, so why try? Thinking about elders with minds warped by whispers of Wormtongues and wizards who would see them broken and biddable--news outlets spreading misinformation and panic and social media pushing conspiracy theories and pastors thumping on podiums with hateful rhetoric clenched tight in their fists. Thinking about people who just want to do their best for their people, but it isn't enough and they fuck up and they die fixing it, but almost no one remembers them as good--crowds turning on each other and cannibalizing their own for mistakes and cancel culture and apologies and real attempts to change going ignored. Thinking about those who rip up the trees and destroy the earth for power and take axes and flame to that which is beautiful and good and not care what it means for themselves and others--polluting water and air and earth and suppressing energy alternatives and habitat destruction and climate disasters. Thinking about where was Gondor when the Westfold fell and we will not aid them for they never aided us but when the beacons are lit, aid is sent--how easy it is to turn angry and resentful and how hard it is to soften and help others when you didn't get the help you needed. Thinking about looking to the East as the sun rises and watching angels (family and friends and neighbors and--) backlit by the sun coming to turn the tides--texting at 2am asking if they're awake and if they can talk and sending memes because if you don't laugh you'll cry and getting sent enough money for groceries and gas and emergency pickups when your car dies and all the big and small mercies and--Thinking about the people who are reluctant to lead because they don't think they're good enough and the ones who scrabble for power because they think they're entitled to it and those who run away from Farmer Maggot but run toward Sauron's army for Frodo and those who just want to make their father proud and those who don't live to see the darkness lift and those who survive and replant the trees of the Shire and those who lose themselves and are brought back and those who topple over the edge into fire and are lost forever and those who fight and cry and laugh and dance and sing and grieve and give up and keep going. Thinking about how this has all happened already and is happening now and will keep happening and it can be exhausting and disheartening but we can't stop because if we stop it won't ever get better. Thinking about how it took everyone doing Big and little things and it's going to take all of us too. And thinking about how beautiful that is.
