Surrounded by demons

We lost an incredible woman tonight, an incredible Jewish woman. She was a feminist icon and trailblazer, and she was also a Jewish icon and trailblazer. Don’t let anyone erase that.

z”l May her memory be for a blessing, and Shana Tovah.

Harry Potter is authorless.

[what-even-is-thiss]

No. As an English major and a transgender person, no. We do not take this attitude.

Harry Potter is a culturally important work and JK Rowling wrote it.

So many culturally important works of literature were written by people with bad views by today’s and even their time’s standards. Shakespeare? Racist, sexist, islamophobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic. But we don’t erase his name from those plays. Because if we try and claim that those plays were authorless it gives us an awfully convenient excuse to ignore all of the flaws within them and how we may or may not agree with those flaws on a subconscious level.

In the world of literary analysis these days the author is no longer dead. We don’t do that anymore. The author is a ghost hanging over your shoulder. You can interpret their work any way you want and they can have no say in it. But you as a reader must also acknowledge that their original intentions are there. Their personal history and the times they lived in are there.

JK Rowling wrote that series whether you like it or not. Whether that makes you comfortable or not. Harry Potter is one of the most culturally important book series of the last century and it was written by a transphobe. It was written by JK Rowling. Face up to it. Look it dead in the eye. Recognize its flaws and like it anyways if you still want to. But don’t. I repeat don’t. Do not claim that it is authorless. No work of literature is.

We're holding JKR accountable like mature adults and embracing the reality though it hurts us to admit something we love was written by someone who continues to dig her grave but we must

[qillermeme]

if we cease to hold her accountable we take away her opportunity to learn, grow, and change. she may never, but we should never take away the opportunity for someones personal growth, especially when their ignorance effects so many. hold them accountable, show them the truth and give them room to change, if they dont, thats not on you, thats on them.

I have to admit that I didn't take this guy seriously because of how he looks. Then I listened to his music. Big fan now. ❤

Vivian from Paper Mario 2004 is a transgender woman. It is openly stated in the Japanese version that she ‘appears to be a girl but is really a boy’ seeking acceptance from her sisters, who finally see her as female in the end.

The entire story was censored in America.

how come no one talks about those days where your mental health just crashes down randomly and you start feeling ashamed of yourself because you were doing so good and now you feel like a complete failure because you can’t figure out where you went wrong.

[devilishcreature]

I JUST had a day like that. I finally made a call to get Rx'd some meds for depression. I'm tired of being a prisoner to my fucked up brain.

Itd be funny as fuck if the world operated like how people with social anxiety think it does. Like what if you got on a bus and everyone was like wow look at that piece of shit loser. Get off the bus you ugly bastard

[outlaw-lookingforthesun]

As someone with social anxiety, this is both funny as fuck and helpful as fuck. The perspective that those fears are so extreme that they become humorous is a pretty effective reality check my dude
