I like the idea of people more than actual people.

NOTE: If you send me an ask/message/whatever with ANY kind of fundraiser link, you WILL be getting reported. Spam, harrassment, and whatever else I can find that could stick. I do not give a shit what kind of sob story you come up with, I will assume you are scamming and refuse to participate.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

[swiftrunnerfelidae]

"Kill your local sex offender!" Oh, you mean the guy who went streaking at his local college football game on a dare one time? That's a sex crime.

"No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe the woman who had to pee in a public park that only had pay toilets, so she tried to hide behind the bushes but got caught? Public urination is a sex crime.

"What? No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe you mean the homeless guy who had to strip down to get his clothes in the laundromat to clean them for the first time in weeks? He tried being subtle, but someone called the cops on him, and now he's on the sex offender registry for public nudity.

"Rapists and pedophiles! Kill rapists and pedophiles!"

Oh, like the trans woman who got called a pedophile groomer for helping a trans kid escape her abusive parents?

Or maybe the black man who got labeled a rapist because he came on to another man's wife, and he decided to get back at him by charging him with rape?

How about the 17 year olds who were fooling around, fully consensually, in one of their bedrooms? That's still technically underage sex and thus rape of a minor.

Oh, or maybe you're talking about the doctor who performed genital reconstructive surgery in a state that just voted to get that classified as rape?

People will do everything they can to get you convinced rape and pedophilia are the worst crimes possible, then accuse whoever they like the least of being either a rapist, a pedophile, or both, counting on you turning on them just for being accused of the crime.

"Oh, so you're saying you don't want to kill a serial rapist?"

That's exactly what I'm goddamn saying.

Once we decide a group is okay to kill, the government will do everything they can to convince you that their political enemies are either part of that group, or just as bad as that group, to get you to kill their enemies for them.

The only way out is to accept every life as worth saving.

EDIT: If you're going to go on this post to say that no, you think you really should be allowed to kill people you decide are rapists and/or pedophiles, I'm going to block you. I have already been blocking you, because it's clear that you aren't willing to engage with what I'm saying.

Also, if someone says something like that we'd be better off with rapists being dead BUT that they won't let that opinion shape their stance on public policy, and you reply to that person to accuse them of wanting to murder people, I'm also going to block you, because what the fuck that's a completely different sentence.

EDIT 2: Since so many people seem to fail basic reading comprehension, let's state it again, in different words:

1. Killing people is bad.

2. Killing someone can never be undone by any means we have.

3. If the government can kill people, they will want to kill their political opposition and other undesirables (WHICH CAN INCLUDE YOU PERSONALLY AND ANY IF NOT ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY).

4. If there is a class of people OF ANY TYPE who the government can LEGALLY KILL, they now just need to convince you their enemies count as that class (ever wondered why there's so much emphasis on claiming gay people are pedophiles? Now you know!)

5. If there is a class of people OF ANY TYPE that the public can LEGALLY KILL, murderers just need to convince people that their victims counted as that class (I murdered him because he's a rapist. Anyway now his job is free promote me into that position plz.)

6. As pointed out in the notes (thank you everyone pointing this out!), if the penalty for a crime is death, people are much more willing to silence witnesses to that crime (for example, murdering their rape victims), which is EVEN WORSE than just committing the initial crime.

7. THEREFORE the only way to keep those from happening is to have NO category of people it is considered okay to kill FOR ANY REASON.

3th time i’ve reblogged this

[lizardsfromspace]

People still doing "do you think voting can fix this" memes when the answer to the question "when did voting last end an authoritarian regime" is "two days ago"

[qqueenofhades]

Reblogged this earlier, but doing so again to add:

Hey we all remember 2020, right? When we voted out Donald Trump the first time??? That was a thing that happened a mere six years ago, and yes, America subsequently massively fucked it up and voted him back in, but we did remove him by voting once before.

Anyone also remember 2024, when Jair Bolsonaro was removed by voting in Brazil? And when he tried a coup, Brazil actually fucking punished him, disqualified him from running, and sent him to jail, instead of letting him off scot-free to do it again?

Also a spate of worldwide post-Trump elections, where the far-right wasn't in power per se but was gunning to be, and voting ensured they stayed out (2025 Moldova, 2025 Romania where massive protests annulled Russian meddling and forced a re-run where the pro-EU candidate won, 2025 Canada where the Conservatives lost after previously being up 20 points, 2025 Australia where the far right was just fuckin wiped out, 2025 Netherlands where Geert Wilders lost, AND SO FORTH).

And of course, the result referenced in the original post, 2026 Hungary where Viktor Fucking Orbán was removed by voting? Despite the massive structural hurdles facing the Hungarian voting public, far more than is the case in America even now?

(Lololol the Kremlin and Trump have immediately pivoted to "Orbán who? Never heard of him. Never knew him. Shh.")

Anti-voting has always been a deeply stupid ideology by people who want miraculous revolution to be suddenly achieved with no downsides and no widespread catastrophe, by doing nothing more than posting violent rhetoric online. Because they have no interest in actually doing the kind of hands-on, slow, systematic work that leads to positive social change in real life, and because they have no understanding of how anything actually works.

Relentless, hypocritical, purity-test politics are literally the best friend of authoritarians everywhere, because they ensure that liberal/left coalitions will never get their fucking act together long enough to put their weight behind the non-authoritarian candidate.

We've all said this before, but sometimes it bears restating.

Nobody has ever suggested that social change can be achieved solely by voting in decent or lesser-evil candidates. Voting is one tiny part of that effort. "Oh so you just want us to vote and do nothing else??" No. No, nobody has ever said that. You can and you should do a lot more than that: protest, mutual aid, fundraising, organizing, pressure campaigns, community protection groups, literally whatever. You can and should continue to hound the politicians you voted for if they're not living up to their campaign promises, as long as you actually voted for them in the first place.

The end.

[empyrean-dot-gov]

so there's been some chatter about the way Rebecca described her world as being free of racism and sexism in a recent event she was at.

if someone could link me a clip of where she says this, i'd greatly appreciate it because i don't want to misquote something to Rebecca but i do think there's an important discussion in the way that issues of race and sex/gender are depicted in this world

On Issues of Race

as we all well know, modern romantasy is often pretty racist, in either ignorance or playing into tropes that hyper sexualizes characters or how characters of colour are treated for the development of white characters. there's also a larger issue at play with how many main male characters/love interests are described as Vaguely Ethnic (dark/olive skin/complexion, dark eyes, curly/wavy hair) but nothing more is thought of other than that. and they're almost always paired with a white female love interest.

these are dynamics we cannot avoid because we live in a society no matter how much authors try to create their own worlds free of the prejudice ours is so mired in.

but that doesn't mean race and ethnicity don't have a large part to play within Fourth Wing as a whole. just because the colour of someone's skin doesn't carry as much weight in this world as it does ours doesn't mean issues of ethnicity don't emerge.

when Rebecca writes a scene of how characters recall the loss of traditions, songs, and language because of unification within Navarre means that one culture and therefore language was seen as the best and therefore superior. there's a reason why English is one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet. and that came from very violent means. and it's not just English that has been forced upon many, many cultures. this is a tactic of Empire and Imperialism. not only that but forcing one language onto another group of people also disrupts knowledge transmission within that community. there are just things that do not translate well from one language to another. and you lose knowledge with that. you lose meaning. you lose access. it's why language revitalization projects are so so important.

we even see this with Tyrrendor and their rune culture. how it was nearly stamped out because of how powerful it was. and with how Tyrrendor is positioned after the Rebellion, guaranteed Tyrrish folk are likely treated as second class citizens. i mean, just look at the entirety of the Marked Ones. second class on sight. just because Xaden isn't being treated differently because he's a brown man, doesn't mean he isn't being prejudiced against because he's Tyrrish.

perhaps a better word for it would be xenophobia than racism, but in all honesty, ethnicity plays a very important role in this series that i think is majorly overlooked

On Issues of Sex and Gender

i don't really see many discussions of gender and sex within this world. it's a pretty heteronormative world to me. like obviously we have representation with Rhiannon but the world is still pretty het.

all the women have to be strong, independent, and leaders, which gives a lot of #girlboss feminism. the boys get to be goofballs and lone wolves while the women more ore less have to make up for their inadequacies.

these are both gendered readings that's based in trying to free the world of Fourth Wing from the sexism we have to deal with, but the characters are still very cis. they also adhere to pretty clear cut representations of gender. all the men largely have short hair and beards and always wear pants. all the women, for the most part, have longer hair and wear dresses at formal parties.

while these are minor things and im not like expecting Rebecca to go out of her way to add in more diverse characters, they still add up to what we know about sex and gender in this world. Violet and the other characters are still expected to dress a certain way and almost act a certain away according to their gender.

we have brothels in this world lol. do we even know if the sex workers are treated well?

Final Thoughts

i could go on to analyze the ways in which theses books fail to critically engage with matters of class and religion in a way that would add a lot of depth and dimension to the world. i also have zero faith in Rebecca to do the due diligence on these topics and she's just going to avoid it wherever she can. and that's fine. she can do what she wants. but it just sucks that an author of her size and influence isn't going that further step to really critically examine these issues within her world. especially with the types of topics she's talking about in her books.

historical revisionism. state censorship. militarism. imperialism. cultural loss and cultural revitalization.

these are all topics worth talking about but when we forget some of the underlying reasons of why these things happen (bigotry, racial/cultural supremacy, racism, sexism, xenophobia) we fail to understand where these problems first originated and fail to understand how we can address them and work towards an equitable future for all

[profxjl]

There are a couple of points I would like to make; I have no idea what interview or whatever you're talking about, but I just have to point out some of your specific points of evidence.

Just going to note here that your arguments overall aren't bad, you've just picked a handful of iffy points to support those arguments.

just because Xaden isn't being treated differently because he's a brown man, doesn't mean he isn't being prejudiced against because he's Tyrrish.

Xaden says himself in Iron Flame that for him, it's the last name more than being Tyrrish. At Samara, he's treated worse than Garrick is--he gets a different room with his own bathroom because "no one wants to share a space with Fen Riorson's son," while Garrick has to share a bathroom with four or five others.

Unfortunately, people (especially those who don't know the full story) are probably going to assume he had a larger role in the rebellion than he actually did. He was 17 at the time, almost an adult. And in the real world, many legal systems have the means for teenagers to be tried as adults for severe crimes. I can see the reasoning for believing that he was involved in some way (not saying I agree, I can just see how they got from point A to point B).

like obviously we have representation with Rhiannon but the world is still pretty het

I mean, there's more than just Rhiannon.

Rhiannon and Ridoc are both bi; I didn't even pick up on it on my first read-through, but on the second it's clear that Rhi and Sawyer hooked up in the first book. Quinn had a girlfriend as well.

Violet has her suspicions (for lack of a better word) about Brennan, thinking there might have been something between him and Naolin. I get there not being a whole lot of evidence on that one since it's her POV and not many people want to think about their siblings' sex lives, but her not thinking much of them both being men does suggest that there's probably not a lot of predjudice.

I can also think of at least one character (one of the Marked Ones, I want to say it was Emery) where Violet used neutral pronouns, and this was after getting to know them a bit more (I'm very specifically thinking of the observation room scene in Monsterrat, so this being after Threshing means they've been around each other for a few months).

Given the size of the cast (and the ones we actually know about, the percentage of non-straight and non-cis characters really isn't that far off our world. We're talking about 10% and 1% of the population, respectively. I know those numbers are a lot higher on Tumblr, but Tumblr is by no means representative of reality--no social media site is.

all the men largely have short hair and beards and always wear pants. all the women, for the most part, have longer hair and wear dresses at formal parties.

Most of the characters wear pants most of the time, and short hair is the norm for both genders. It's a military college, pants and short hair are practical. Violet keeping her hair long instead of cutting it makes her more of an oddity.

The men don't all have beards, either. From the main cast, Dain does, while Xaden, Bodhi, Garrick, Liam, Ridoc, and Sawyer don't. Some of the more minor characters might even it out and bring it more 50/50, but that's still nowhere near "largely," as you're claiming.

we have brothels in this world lol.

There is a saying, that prostitution is the world's oldest profession. In any world where there are people, and people like sex, then people are going to take advantage of that and trade sex for things. You imply that you're worried about if the sex workers are treated well, but there's also literally no evidence that they aren't.

The most they're even mentioned is by Aaric, discussing where his family was looking for him after he fucked off to join the Riders. Sure there was some disdain from him at the time, but that was clearly directed towards Halden.

Got my dorm assignment this weekend!

And made a list of what I need to buy (high priority--what I need before I go, medium priority--shared items I can buy at some point once I get there and talk with my roommate because they might have brought it, and low priority--things I can wait to get because I might not actually need it), and what to bring from home.

That list has been prioritized to identify what has to go with me right away, and what I can swap out in December when I come home for the holidays.

Now to clean out my bedroom so I have space to put my dorm stuff once I start picking away at those purchases.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

[optimysticals]

I love you for sharing this!!!

[ferrific]

For more old cookbooks, Michigan State University has 76 of their historical cookbooks scanned and searchable at Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project.

[hsavinien]

For even older recipes, check out Gode Cookery.  They list medieval and Renaissance cooking instructions and translate the recipes for you into measurable amounts and all.

[runecestershire]

I have have have to mention Miss Leslie. I learned so much about cooking from that book, even if a lot of it is outdated.

Also, Forme of Cury is great fun, if you can muddle through the Middle English (Gode Cookery has translations and adaptions of some of the recipes from this).

[sarkos]

I’ll always take an opportunity to remind people of Barkham Burroughs’ Encyclopaedia of Astounding Facts and Useful Information, which also contains recipes

It's funny, I never expected to be taking a French course again, but here I am, needing art electives for university, and definitely considering it. The fun part is that I haven't taken a French course in 11 years.

I was bumped up to the Integrated French program for grade 9. The separation into Immersion/Integrated/Core streams starts in grade 7, and while you can jump down a level, jumping up like I did isn't usually done--I was basically the exception, because the classes that were still in English were a bit more challenging, and I was getting near-perfect marks while fucking around half the time, so obviously I needed more of a challenge.

In the Integrated French stream, the main difference was that Social Studies was now in French as well. Thankfully, the teacher I had for that class wanted to make sure we actually understood the material, so he taught it to us in English first, and then taught it again in French. Had we done it entirely in French then a translation issue could really screw us up. However, by doing it in English first then he could make sure we actually understood the material, and not being able to remember a word wasn't going to be a huge problem; we could use French-English dictionaries for translations if there was a word we were stuck on.

My normal French class, however, was a shit show. I was so lost it wasn't funny, and thanks to my gifted kid syndrome, my teacher didn't actually believe that I was lost, so I didn't get the help I needed. In the end, I managed to just barely pass.

But because I passed, I wasn't allowed to drop back down to Core French for high school. I didn't need a French credit to graduate, so I said fuck it and just didn't take a French class for those three years.

Yes, that is a choice part of me has come to regret.

I've tried learning again on my own, but it hasn't really gone well. With no one to practice with, any attempt has fallen flat very quickly.

Needing the arts credit for university is actually going to be very helpful for this. It's the external structure to keep me going, and actually giving me a framework to start.

My university has a placement test to determine what level you start at for these French courses, so I'm going to try and see how far I can get over the next couple of weeks with a program at my local library to refresh myself on as much as possible before I do that placement test. Course selection is in June, so I have lots of time to make sure I have a grasp on the basics.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

honestly I'm very grateful that I got involved in queer community organizing basically as soon as I turned 18, because that's how I was exposed to other queer people saying things like "I just wouldn't trust a bisexual" and "I don't believe in that privilege stuff" and "I don't like when people act like you have to be a feminist if you're gay," all of which taught me at a very young age the crucial truth that queer people can be very stupid and very wrong

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I think there's a pervasive tendency among very young baby queers to get kind of dazzled by being among other gay people for the first time and that combined with the heady drug of the first taste of independence can really make you start thinking of The Queer Community(TM) like it's one big enlightened rainbow utopia but unfortunately we have dipshits and malevolent freaks like every other demographic. Peter Thiel is in here.

[craigslisthorses]

What's your opinion on miniature horses? They seem to be popular but I come from the cat breed world where dwarfism is heavily frowned upon so while miniature horses mostly look proportional to me I'm still like. Hmm about it

i've seen nice minis and i wont like, i love ponies because I love tiny ears which is shocking i know since everything i own is one step down from a damn donkey

ponies are super hit or miss, actual mini horses that are bred to look like mini horses have far less health issues then like...

idk

this

or even this tbh is just bad breeding

things built like a weird dog with clubbed feet whos neck is wider than its body

[gardensandghosts]

Can you show good examples to compare to?

[craigslisthorses]

YEAH this mare is a little thin in the cannon but for a standard show Mini she's pretty cute.

could be angle but i don't like the black one's right front foot/knee it looks like maybe an injury/arthritis but otherwise he cute minis are essentially pocket arabians.

[profxjl]

As a general rule of thumb, as long as the mini looks like a horse you're fine.

They don't have to be pocket arabians, necessarily; the dished face is acceptable, but not a requirement. Hell, it's not uncommon for breeders to prefer a straight profile instead, especially where I'm from.
