Just Another Nerdy 20-Something

I'm just another young professional bumbling my way through early adulthood with some help from friends, family, and the occasional stranger. You can often find me in corners of the Internet that have Harry Potter, Nerdfighteria, YA Lit and other awesomeness. I have two goals each and every day: write and laugh as much as possible.

Reblog the hell out of this - please. Even those of you who are not in the US. You have Us followers and this is obscene.

With the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on June 26th, 1997, Joanne Rowling’s life changed forever. Fantastic for her, of course, but the real magic is in how many readers’ lives were transformed after meeting the boy under the stairs, and visiting…

Faith Based Initiative (6.10)

Santos: And I'm here to tell you that hope is real. In a life of trials, in the world of challenges, hope is real. In a country where families go without health care, where some go without food, some don't even have a home to speak of, hope is real. In a time of global chaos and instability where our faiths collide as often as our weapons, hope is real. Hope is what gives us the courage to take on our greatest challenges, to move forward together. We live in cynical times, I know that. But hope is not up for debate. There is such a thing as false science, there is such a thing as false promises, and I am sure I will have my share of false starts. But there is no such thing as false hope. There is only hope.

Hanukkah has been largely depoliticized, first through the invention of the feel-good myth of the oil that lasted for eight days, and now via our consumerist interpretation of Hanukkah as Christmas’ Jewish cousin. But Hanukkah is actually the celebration of an uprising. It honors the Maccabees, the faction that recaptured the Temple in 165 BCE and expelled the Selucid Empire from Judea. Therefore this holiday is a symbol of indigenous liberation, and is best observed in solidarity with all peoples resisting occupation. Happy Hanukkah!
