College is wild because it really isnât about intelligence or the ability to understand the material at all. Itâs literally just a test of executive function and abled-ness. I had good attendance. I participated in class discussionsâŠpossibly to an annoying extent, I got Aâs on my tests. When we did group work in classes, it was usually me knowing the answers and everyone else just writing them down from my paper.
But I watched those same people who copied my in-class work and who barely passed tests and who only understood the material enough to regurgitate it, not to expand on it, graduate while I flunked out. Why? Because I didnât have the executive function to do homework outside of class. Thatâs it.
when I was a teen dealing with chronic illness, I was just abled enough to go to school and do the work in class. I got As on all my in-class work and tests. I understood the material. when I got home everyday, I was so exhausted I went straight to bed and didnât get up until it was time to go to school the next morning. I stopped hanging out with friends or having any free time, and I dedicated every ounce of energy to school. but, on the basis of needing to pass out as soon as I got home everyday, I was unable to do homework (I also had missed more days that I was supposed to, but again, I passed every test and hadnât fallen behind in the material). despite having As in everything except homework, I failed every class and had to drop out of high school.
our education system is structured less around an actually well-rounded education (which would look different for different people depending on their needs) and more around conformity to neuro-typical, abled standards that prepare you for being a worker under capitalism, which itself enforces these standards in the attempt to drain as much profit from the individual as possible. even people who are âluckyâ enough to be NT and abled enough to survive in these environments deserve more than to be treated like a renewable resource.
TODAY'S HOBBITHOLE: ELVESSSSSSS
Tolkien never said anything abut pointy ears (as I remember, and as I fervently asserted for many eons of playing them in D&D and illustrating them). He did mention "sea-grey eyes and "the elven-light" in their eyes. (cough*Arondir*cough)(IRL too*cough).
According to some knowledgeable sources, the pointy ear thing comes from the Victorian Age, where oral traditions had become legend become myth and then were bawlderized by new cultures and religions. As a one time keeper of Northern Dogs, I see the pointy ear thing as the "wild type", the Original Model. Roundears, whether canine or peoples, are the later version, less tied to the natural world, less cognizant of a connection with it.
Deep in the appendices of LOTR Tolkien states: "Elves... this old word was indeed the only one available, and was once fitted to apply to such memories of this people as Men preserved, or to the making of Men's minds not wholly dissimilar. But it has been diminished, and to many it may now suggest fancies either pretty or silly, as unlike to the Quendi of old as are butterflies to the swift falcon--not that any of the Quendi ever possessed wings of the body, as unnatural to them as to Men. They were a race high and beautiful, the older children of the world..."
In European mythology, there are a few Elven types who stand out: the Irish Sidhe (Tuatha de Dannan), the Welsh Tylwyth Teg, and the Norse LjĂłsĂĄlfar (light elves). Cultures around the world have their own versions of these beings who stand somewhere between gods and humans.
In my tales, some are still here, still at work in a world that is overrun by humans, and losing its natural places. For some humans, the veil is thin, and we see through it, perhaps becoming allies in the fight against darkness and greed.

THE RINGS OF POWER 1.06 âUdĂ»nâ
âI speculated a lot with Joseph Mawle, the actor that played Adar. [âŠ] That scene is actually a bit longer, so thereâs a little bit, maybe when they do an extended cut, but thereâs a longer bit of familiarity. And thatâs something that Iâve been with the showrunners and that Iâm very curious about. I believe, myself, without giving anything away, that thereâs a moment - and you see it in the scene - thereâs a moment of kind of recognition, of origin, and of elvenhood. Thatâs a big thing, who are these beings? And thatâs Adarâs entire thing. Itâs âwe came from the same origin, why are we fighting each other?â kind of thing. So I have my own speculation, but maybe I say the wrong thing and I get fired [laughs].â

when i was drawing on thursday someone suggested elk-horned Thranduil damn. that baby has a lot of upper body strength.
this is the agenda
Real men ...Elves, Numenoreans are supportive...
Goals.
In the past 24 hours I have seen three separate video essayists I admire talk about how YouTube is currently screwing them over with bullshit content claims. Something fucky is going on here.
Ask a Mortician, a channel that posts educational content about death and the funeral industry, is getting content claimed under accusations of âdisplay of non-graphic bodies without educational intentâ and âviolence with blood and gore,â among other things, which is completely untrue.
Dead Meat, a channel that does reviews and analysis of horror media, is getting aggressively hit with copyright claims despite all their content falling under fair use review and critique. The most recent claim is over single tiny clip in an hour long video.
Kaz Rowe, a video essayist who talks about history and media, is dealing with the same thing, over a tiny clip included in their video about the Wizard of Oz.
All three of these channels are ones I really enjoy and admire, so if youâre looking for new content to check out, go give them some love? Theyâre all fighting uphill battles just to get their work seen and could use the views right now.
Jessie Gender is now also getting hit. Sheâs a trans woman making videos about gender, sexuality, and pop culture, and her new video has been hit with a strike for âsex and nudity.â
I know that YouTube is generally garbage and has been garbage for ages, but four big channels I watch all getting hit in the span of just a couple days? Weird. Very weird. Not liking it at all.
Folks in the notes have added several other channels getting hit recently, so yeah, somethingâs definitely fucky. I donât know if itâs more fucky than YouTubeâs usual level of fucky, or if Iâm just noticing it more, but goddamn. :(
#itâs been way weirder recently than usual yeah
#donât like this one bit.
Rachel Oates, who makes videos about poetry and literature as well as feminism and debunking of far-right content, recently got a video taken down for misinformation. The video was her debunking misinformation that was being spread by anti-maskers. Sheâs been trying to contact youtube about it for a month and they still wonât reinstate it.
While not exactly a video essayist, a couple months How To Cook That had a video taken down for misinformation that was debunking a viral wood burning hack that was extremely dangerous. Her video got hit but the videos of people demonstrating the lethally dangerous technique didnât.
Not to mention James Somerton, who makes videos about queer depictions in media, has had basically everything heâs uploaded for the past half a year demonetized or taken down.
This is definitely a trend that has been increasing over time.
so....do i make a post about other (re: better) magic school/wizard books or what?

Arondir needs a horse. (but also, get him a saddle and a horseman's bow, cause a longbow doesn't work so good, and you need the stirrups to stand up off the bumpity bump).

79 Years // Arondir Character Study // Rated T
!!! Spoilers for Episode 3 !!!
Summary: While captive in the orc pit, Arondir reflects.
Warnings: Forced Labor, Heavy Angst, Grief, Fear, Pining
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Happy new Rings of Power night! And thanks so much to all the folks who've said sweet things about my first ROP fic. I warned y'all I was gonna write a lot of tragic Arodir POV and it turns out that was not an idle threat! Angst is my (fic) love language, and ohhh, is Arondir's arc giving me some fodder. Do I feel a little silly about being THIS invested in the original characters after *checks notes* three episodes? Maybe. Do I ultimately care? not really, no.
Arondir had never loved the sun. He bore no specific allegiance to the fruit of Laurelin or to Arien, its keeper. He never made rites at the roots of that blessed tree.
Still, he didnât loathe the sun, for it had its own ferocious beauty when unmasked â the kind of beauty that demanded respect. And moreover, he couldnât loathe its works â the way its light scattered itself across the earth, the warmth by which it tended seed and leaf and living flesh.Â
But Arondir had grown in the shade of a great forest. He loved the sun best when filtered through a hundred hundred layers of greenery. He could never love it as he loved the moon, for he could never fully gaze upon its face. Perhaps thatâs why his people had not made the passage, could never submit themselves to that bright Western land: they loved light best when held by night.
Bronwyn touched Arondir's arm. I'm okay. I'm okay.
