Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

idk some people just feel threatened by anyone being unapologetically themselves even when they arenât hurting anyone because it brings up the possibility that the rules are made up and the points donât matter and thatâs an uncomfortable thought
I agree , practicing medicine without a medical Doctor license is unlawful
thing I am proud of: when the doctor started going on a weird rant about long covid not being real I paused and listened to his nonsense for a bit and then very calmly said, in a polite and curious tone, "you don't believe in post-viral illness?" and he like. stammered a bunch and was like OH WELL I'M NOT SAYING -- I DON'T...I just think ..! and backpedaled awkwardly while I just sat there like :3c interesting :3c thank you so much for clarifying your stance on this :3c
an important skill for chronically ill people to develop is the ability to treat the doctor as though they are simply a person you are interviewing to find out how much they know about your condition.
Holy shit op this is LITERALLY in the book 'Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depends On It'. Written by a guy who did hostage negotiation and then tried doing business negotiation, and mopped the floor with industry experts.
I'm fortunate enough to have a primary care doctor who knows about hEDS, but it's occurring to me that the skills in this book could be medically life changing for chronically ill folks of all kinds. Like. Literally a matter of life and death, especially for BIPOC and/or fat and/or young people who are having their issues dismissed.
HMMM interesting!! will have to check this out
âbut shrouded black figures are scary!â not when ur muslim. its the funniest fucking thing. this is labeled on pinterest under shit like âclassic horrorâ âscary phone wallpaperâ
but that LITERALLY just looks like a niqabi or someone in a jilbab. Like Look at this pic of me (from a self photoshoot, now w/o the dramatic lighting and dark background)
or this pic of me
or this pic of me
like its so funny i canât be scared of shrouded figures it just looks like me.
if i saw this i would just be like âAssalam alaikum sister, dope sword you got thereâ
I mean I think a part of the âscary backgroundâ bit is the thing where the individual in question is staring directly at the viewer from a foggy pond in a dense forest. And also the literal burning halo
sounds like a normal Friday night. if a sister wants to go on a walk in the evening who am i to stop her. if she has a burning halo thatâs the will of god.
Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.
I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
me everytime one of my seemingly non-specific homoerotic text posts breaks containment
I think the true horror of Frankenstein (1818) is that we are not always the victims of what we fear, specifically in regards to how white people have feared black people despite having oppressive power over them.
Womanhood is absolutely part of the story too, but I think a lot of the time white women hijack the conversation regarding this book as a way to present their womanhood as the ultimate victimhood, and overlooking how their privilege of living as WHITE women specifically is also relevant to the discussion of this novel.
Frankenstein was written at a time in which black bodies were used as science experiments, and when white people didnât find a way to use them for their own benefit, their very existence was a scorn.
Many black babies were used to lure alligators, and it was gleefully depicted in art and postcards.
But when slave revolts started to occur and black slaves killed their white captors for freedom, it was presented as unreasonable acts of violence.
Suddenly there were âtwo sidesâ and black slaves crossed the line of two communities that were only then presented on an equal playing field because it was convenient.
The creature is viewed as inhumane, a being beyond conventional ideas of gender or race.
From birth, he is only treated with abuse and torture, no matter what he does. Acts of kindness and malice are met with the same scorn, because it has nothing to do with who he has and everything to do with what people think his existence represents.
He exists in a body that survives suffering meant to kill a human because humans are not supposed to take it. Over and over and over.
Heâs hurt by people who go on with their lives without guilt, like itâs just the way it is in a way he never could without facing repercussions and viewed as inherently monstrous. He understands cognitively itâs not right, but mentally heâs running beyond thin.
Suddenly, when he kills, heâs humanized, but only to be held to the standards of humanity, only as a way to be scorned again. Heâs paradoxically viewed as an otherworldly being without reason or humanity AND viewed as a fully reasonable individual who deliberately made these choices with no nuance.
At no point is he provided the mercy and understanding of either implications, only the worst of both. He is a being that contains multitudes. Heâs not a hero but he doesnât HAVE to be.
Revolution was never pretty and wasnât always led by these perfect heroes. Victims donât need to be heroes to deserve basic rights that people of privilege have by default regardless of if they prove their âmoral worthâ.
White infants were shot in their cribs. They may not have been involved, but how can that matter to people who since infancy have been viewed as criminals, as less than?
Itâs not about these individual actions, itâs about them stemming from systematic oppression.
William was a white, upper class child who was not responsible for the acts of his family. But the creature only experienced being viewed as a part of a monolith of the uncanny.
Is it really such a surprise when he similarly sees William as an extension of the oppressive humanity heâs a part of?
Not to mention, the creature was a child too. He was at most six years old. Even regardless of that, itâs the content of the years lived that make someone an adult and not just the time frame itself. The creature learned a lot but he did not have a childhood.
The creature was extremely cognitively intelligent, but he was developmentally stunted mentally. He couldnât really be expected to use that cognition without guidance.
Similarly, black children are often adultified. They often have to grow up faster than white children, because if they express natural toddler emotions, theyâre viewed as violent and threatening. Theyâre made to walk on eggshells, because if they show too much of any sort of emotion, theyâll be viewed as a threat and risk facing violence. Police officers have shot literal children because they thought they were threatening.
Even now, black children and teens are viewed as uncivilized, unintelligent, inhuman, but once they get into trouble, even just the trouble most teenagers are expected to get into, suddenly theyâre âyoung menâ or âyoung womenâ who know exactly what theyâre doing and should have known better.
Thatâs not accountability. Thatâs not acknowledging autonomy.
Itâs not proving anything when people youâve abused into believing theyâre inherently violent lash out.
There is a genuine fear of black people from white people. Itâs a fear of the unknown, of the unfamiliar.
Itâs like seeing an uncertain figure in a dark hallway, but being unaware that, from that figureâs perspective, you look the exact same. Except you have the power. You have the weapon. You can hurt them in a way they cannot. You view your acts of violence as fearful defense without realizing you were never the one at risk.
Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say donât pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying âoh I shouldnât get too many books out at onceâ but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject youâre interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesnât matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever theyâre due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments donât want to fund more books if theyâre not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you canât read them all!
Do you guys know what an YpĂȘ is? You need to know what an YpĂȘ is.

Hey. Why isnât the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isnât that fucked up? Does anyone else think thatâs absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! Thatâs a big deal! Iâve never thought about it before but now that I have, itâs ridiculous to me that thatâs not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why donât we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
Itâs July 20th. Thatâs the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. Iâm ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and Iâm going to have a goddamn potluck. Youâre all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY
moon day is 20th July!!!
Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!
Happy moon day to all who celebrate
This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.
MOON DAY MONDAY THIS MONTH NOT A DRILL!!!!!
âwhat if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?â good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesnât make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know itâs okay if what you think about yourself changes.
