what you need to understand about me is that mentally, spiritually and emotionally i am always smoking cigarettes on my front porch.

[aaeternamque]

I survived the end of the quarter but not the battle of the gullet. Another thing ya'll gotta know about me is that i'm obsessed with the game of thrones universe.

Read all the books multiple times, will yell about parallels to english history, dynastic politics ect ect.

Remind me to show yall my son (Rottweiler/golden doodle mix) named Arrax

may the forgotten ones watch over you

may you feel them as the wind rustles the leaves

may they be heard in the trickle of water from the roof after the rain

may you find them in the dirt as you plant your garden

may they comfort you with the warmth from your camp fire

I feel like siting with my feet in the river for a while would fix me.

the persecution of lefthandedness is insane to think about because it was so intense for so long, in some places still is, without any clear profit motivation. sheer love of the game. as late as the 70s at least they were smacking my stepdad's hands for it with a wooden ruler at school, to this day he's in weird ambidexterity situation where he's not great with either side and notably clumsy due to poor hand-eye coordination. just wtf

It is fascinating to me that people also think of handedness as an example of bigotry that just...went away. As you note, it...hasn't in some places. I know people who grew up in the mid-late 90s who still had this problem.

But also, and this is really important to keep in mind regarding bigotry that still causes in many ways larger problems, that the structural problems are not actually fixed.

If you go to any computer lab or public library, the mice will be on the right side of the computer. Sometimes they can be moved. Sometimes they can't. Many computer mice are curved to only fit in right hands.

It is impossible to find lefthanded scissors without going to a specialty store, because most scissor makers don't even make them. And it's not just a matter of grip; the slicing side of the blades is obscured if you use righty scissors in your left hand, so your cut is off.

All those signing pads with the little chained styluses? Almost always on the right side, often not even long enough to stretch to the left. Makes signing for lefties extremely difficult.

I caused actual muscular problems in college having to twist around in order to write at right-handed desks in college when there weren't enough lefty desks--and there never were. Some classrooms didn't even have a single one.

I could go on.

But the point is, bigotry isn't just a mindset shift. People can't just decide they're not bothered by that particular difference anymore and everything's fine, because society is still structured and designed to cause problems for marginalized people. And they're never even going to notice all the little ways their life is bent to convenience them that inconveniences others.

Handedness, at least in areas where lefties no longer face persecution/forced assimilation, is such a fantastic example (that doesn't get people on the defensive as easily) for privilege and structural inequities that persist unless actively remedied.

This may be a stupid question, but similarly to how Irish Gods and Goddesses get branded as 'celtic', how would one find Scottish Gods? Are there any?

I have the biggest 'I want to go home' feeling, and I feel like reconnecting to them might help but I'm not sure who hails from where.

I don’t know alot about Scottish gods!! I’m sure there is some overlap but I’m not too certain.

Does anyone more qualified have resources we can share here?

I like this blog for Scottish Magic though!
