It looks like they’re dropping a teaser trailer for the new Harry Potter reboot tomorrow

Just a few important and gentle reminders:

🫶🏻 DO NOT WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW 🫶🏻

If you claim you support human rights - not just trans rights but human rights in general - yet still plan to watch this show, unfollow me. You’re a fucking hypocrite and I don’t want you following me.

Do not watch it even if you’re hate watching it, it still contributes to streaming revenue and views!

The adults in this reboot of the franchise are FULLY accountable for choosing to do this show and accepting a pay cheque over supporting a minority group. Even if they claim they support trans rights, they’re cowards and don’t actually support them at all.

The kids do NOT deserve abuse or hate, whether it’s because you’re comparing them to Dan/Rupert/Emma or because you’re boycotting due to the author’s views. They are literal CHILDREN.

Your nostalgia over a children’s series about kids going to school is NOT more important than trans people being respected and having rights. As long as JKR is still alive, she profits off of this.

[demonicae]

And, just so you know, JKR profiting off of HP has DIRECTLY led to the disintegration of trans rights in the UK.

For example...

Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September

It follows an announcement in December that transgender members would be banned from joining.

From yestersday. This follows on from the UK supreme court ruling last year that equalities laws would be based on 'biological sex only.'

That supreme court ruling got through, not because 'everyone believes in it.' But because JKR directly payed MASSIVE amounts of money into right wing thinktanks, politicians, and TERF influencers.

Harry Potter directly funds transphobia and anti-trans laws in the UK.

She pours her money into the J.K Rowling women's fund. Meaning Harry Potter revenue directly pays for right wing transphobic pearl clutchers to take trans people to court and to stamp out the rights of trans people in the UK.

It is also hurting cis women in the UK because now we're all fucking paranoid about being 'transvestigated,' being abused in public (for 'not looking cis enough') or being denied services because some snotty billionaire decided she gets to decide who is or is not a 'woman' (based entirely on her weirdo, white, billionaire-class definition of the word.)

Booboo wheel crash no survivors

[sandersstudies]

National Theatre is streaming their rendition of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde this week for free on YouTube. The production is a delight.

This show is one I constantly return to as a theatre educator for middle/high school, and it is MUCH better enjoyed when performed rather than on paper.

[sandersstudies]

Whatever the opposite of rolling in his grave is, Oscar Wilde is doing it

[sandersstudies]

I just found out they also have accessible BSL (British Sign Language) and audio description versions. The closed captioning has also been done correctly (a bare minimum many YouTube videos do not meet).

Accomodations

We'd run the phone cord behind the nightstand so you wouldn't chew it.

We'd put a lid over the pan of cooling oil so you wouldn't step in it.

We put a latch on your treat cabinet so you couldn't get inside.

We wouldn't leave glasses on the table because you'd knock them down.

We put a blanket on the cupboard because you liked sleeping there.

All these accomodations we made just for you...

Because you were clever Because you were curious Because you played Because you engaged Because you were present

And we keep doing them out of habit even though you're not here.

I miss you. I love you. Happy Birthday.

White Authors, Stop Writing Cultural Appropriation

Must-read article about white authors appropriating BIPOC words, dialects, cultures and settings. Crucial information for white writers especially, who may be ignorant to this ongoing issue. Support BIPOC creators and bigger your brain.

Weird Fantasy (1950) #18 written by Al Feldstein and drawn by Joe Orlando, with editor Bill Gaines

[velvetvexations]

So he said it can't be a Black. So I said, "For God's sakes, Judge Murphy, that's the whole point of the Goddamn story!" So he said, "No, it can't be a Black". Bill just called him up and raised the roof, and finally they said, "Well, you gotta take the perspiration off". I had the stars glistening in the perspiration on his Black skin. Bill said, "Fuck you", and he hung up.

Al Feldstein, Tales of Terror: The EC Companion

[iconuk01]

Just to add context for those not aware of the impact of this story.

The reason it was so important for narrative purposes, was that the plot concerns the visit of the Astronaut, in his completely opaque spacesuit, to a planet populated entirely by self-aware robots (originally from Earth) who have built their own society and are petitioning to be allowed to interact with Earth again as equals.

They have a democratic government and free choice of careers etc. as the orange robot serving as guide tells the Astronaut.

The Astronaut notices that there are two different types of robot on this world; the orange ones, who are in charge, gifted access to all information and facilities. and the blue robots, who are seen as more limited in function, have less access to information and resources, and are not allowed positions of power or as wide a choice of employment opportunities. Even transportation is segregated.

The Astronaut investigates further and discovers that the blue and orange robots are actually structurally identical, there is absolutely no difference between their potential or capabilities, and it is only because the orange robots are instructed by their Educator system to consider themselves superior, that the difference exists.

The Astronaut tells the robots they are not ready for re-alignment with Earth, until they come to terms with their own unfairness, and how Earth had had to deal with this issue themselves. When that time comes, the robots will be able to ally with Earth.

Then he leaves in his spaceship, and it's only in that one final panel that we see the Astronaut is black.

Not subtle, nor should it be, but for 1950 this was a breathtakingly powerful statement, perhaps the first of it's kind in the genre.

The black character was not a caricature, or comedy relief, he was a main character in his own right, a human who "simply" was black.

[assortedinsanities]

Ok, but this story is sadly revolutionary even now. That is not just a human who happens to be black, as far as every other character in this story is concerned this is the most important, maybe even the only human they ever see, who happens to be black.

As depressing as that is, but a black person just casually representing the entirety of humanity is a breathtakingly powerfull statement even today, a quarter of a century later.

reblogging for Black History Month!

[ambisweetiepie]

Hi everyone!!

I'm opening up some custom keychain commissions!

The keychains are $60 and that includes the price of the chibi illustration commission as well as the price for me to actually produce the keychains. The finished keychains will be thick durable acrylic, and will measure at 2.5" or 63.5mm.

Aside from the keychains, you will receive two finished commissions. One of the illustration being used on the front of the keychain, and one for the illustration on the reverse. The commissions will be done in CMYK, in order to be printing friendly colors. I'll have examples of what the finished illustrations look like on their own below the cut.

Commissions will be done over the course of february, and I will get them produced into keychains during March. This may be early March or late March, depending on how many commissions I get. So I expect to start mailing keychains to you in April at the latest. I will not ask for shipping from you until that time. If you live outside of the US, you can reach out to me for a better shipping estimate.

Extras: - Alternate expression on reverse side (free) - Alternate outfit on reverse side (+$10), may require solid backgrounds instead of being a clear keychain, if the silhouettes don't match up perfectly. - Extra copies of the same keychain (+$10)

If you're interested, email me at amberandmossy(at)gmail.com
