Do I need to write a better wizard book? I have many ideas for how magical transitions could work, and I wouldn't make the main character a cop.
Also I'm sure I could come up for actual reasons the general population doesn't know about magic that don't boil down to 'because wizards are fantasy racists.'
Anyone could
Percy Jackson managed
Hell, i could
Humans can’t see magic because they embraced technology and that bricks the magical forces, same as how technology bricks without magical gimmicking
I'm thinking a funnier idea would be that the wizards actually are helping out the rest of humanity, they just aren't loud about it. They'll find a way to cure cancer, and just make up some shit about a frog bacteria being the cause.
Every weird ass innovation from a funny source that seems really random is made by wizards lol
All the accidentally invented shit too
Ice lollies? Magic
Penicillin? Magic
Blue Cheese? Magic
Engine oil? Magic
yall WISH jews ran shit. you know how much more walkable your cities would be?
holy fuck you've just reinvented? ..updated? rebooted? a century-old jewish joke!!
except it described the current state of things as a damn brothel**, and the punchline is "well my uncle used to run one of those and lemme tell you how organized and clean it was"
**dunno if still true, but decades ago t'was also word to describe a clusterfuck, complete mess disaster. Not just a whorehouse
i love this information you’ve giften me with
a very soviet-era Jewish joke i believe. The city name and what specifically is yelled about was interchangeable. Ditto on relative sometimes being auntie [most jewish sounding name here]
В очереди возмущаются: — Что за жизнь! Не страна, а бордель!
Рабинович вмешивается: — И это вы называете борделем? Хе! У моей бабушки в Бердичеве был бордель, так там был тако-о-ой порядок!
yall WISH jews ran shit. you know how much more walkable your cities would be?
Things that would be true of the world if Jews actually ran it:
1) walkable cities
2) more eco-friendly everything
3) your boss couldn't force you to work weekends
4) teachers would get some fucking respect
5) restorative, rather than punitive, justice system
6) heavy-duty social safety net
7) emphasis on community
8) the abortion argument wouldn't be an argument because abortion isn't some fraught tangled issue in Judaism--it's a matter of health to be determined between a pregnant person, their doctor, and their rabbi, and the rabbi's role is basically to provide moral support
9) vaccines wouldn't be an argument. You're getting them because the science shows they protect people and we respect science and learning in this world. You're getting them because it's not all about you-you-you in this world. You have a duty to your community and that includes the preservation of life and health.
10) atheism would be considered a legitimate way of understanding G-d, not a moral failing.
RAMPS. there would be ramps everywhere.
And Braille without having to beg.
Gluten Free and Black Pepper would be clearly marked as allergies
IBS would be actually researched
“Race” as white people understand it would disappear

reminder that the books themselves also suck ass actually. there's an entire plotline endorsing slavery. the one character who advocates to end slavery is bullied and made fun of. the one slave who doesnt like being enslaved is bullied and treated as an outcast. the bankers are the picture of racist stereotypes of jewish people. the one asian character is named fckn Cho Chang. the worldbuilding SUCKS. fuck harry potter and fuck rowling. stop giving her your money.
This is all true, but we need to talk about how to explain JK Rowling to normies who aren't in any of the circles where JK Rowling's awful choices are discussed regularly. How do you talk to someone who, if you mention Harry Potter, says, "Oh, I really liked those books" or "Oh, I really liked those movies?" and get them to understand what a shitstain she is without seeming to just be calling THEM names for saying they liked something?
Yes, she mocks rape victims. She threatens litigation against the mildest criticism against her. She has created an LGB group to make it so very clear that trans people are not welcome where she gives money. She is the funding behind Scotland saying trans women aren't legally women. The list goes on.
But. I promise you, 99% of the people around you don't know she's done any of this because they aren't following her social media or stories about her. To them, she is just the author of those fun wizard books. You gotta talk about how she's SO WEIRD and ISN'T IT SAD.
You need to tell the normies how she uses the funds from all her payout agreements for ALL Harry Potter licensing, including the re-release of these movies.
"It's so fucking weird. It's so fucking off-putting. It's so fucking sad." Say that over and over. Don't try to tie it into larger ideas. This is not how people will listen. "Isn't it just fucking sad she has all this money that could go to literacy or scholarships, and she's using it to attack people who are just living their lives? What a weird fucking choice."
We need to out-Morbius Morbius in terms of this tanking, and the way you do that is talk to normies about how fucking WEIRD and RUDE she is. How ODD that the second Fantastic Beasts movie gave a "actually, fascism isn't too bad" vibe all the way through and especially at the end. How she has complained that the child actors from those movies particularly don't agree with her views on trans people and that she's publicly said that's why she wanted a new show.
What a WEIRD thing to say about child actors you worked with over a decade ago. It's so WEIRD she would care that those child actors have different opinions than her. It's really SAD she apparently has no hobbies except posting on social media about how she hates trans people. A beloved author who could be using her name to raise money for animal rescues and homeless people and all sorts of really great causes that could improve people's lives, and she's out here doing THIS? It just bums me out. I just can't support someone who uses their money to harass and harm other people like this. I don't know WHY she acts like this or WHY she's chosen to make it her whole personality, but it just makes it really hard for me to want to support any Harry Potter stuff, even when I loved it so much. Knowing any money made from that franchise goes into her pocket to just pour out onto orgs and laws that tell adults they can't just live their lives and be left alone is WEIRD.
And then say what you're gonna be doing instead. You know, I'm going to go and find some new fantasy books at the library. I'm going to boardgame day down at the game store. I'm going to a stitching group. I'm going to host a 1980s fantasy fest at my place; do you have any favorites you recommend? We should have a film fest where we watch all the movies that scared the shit out of us as kids.
If the normie goes, "Well, I'm going anyway," say, "Okay," and change the subject. If they try to justify because you clearly aren't into their decision, don't let them. "Hey, do whatever you want. I'll be [doing whatever you said you'd be doing." And then change the subject again. You don't have to threaten to cut someone off or yell at them or say they're terrible. They have to make the decision on their own, but you can make your point in a way that hopefully resonates and also refuse to back down but also refuse to absolve them.
I’m going to take this chance to advertise what I consider to be the perfect replacement for HP. My credentials are that I always thought HP was mediocre despite being at the tail end of the HP generation and was super into these books instead. Allow me to present the Septimus Heap series
this is the first ☝️. It’s a 7 book magical boy series much like Harry Potter but infinitely better. It’s got chosen one vibes, found family, trauma recovery, Big Bad Man, ongoing peril, grey morality, sassy pants magic boy, hijinks and the dragons are way better in this one. All of this is also set within a super fun and zany world where the author occasionally just drops random little tidbits of lore or just goes off on a world building tangent with no purpose other than making the setting richer. There’s often a section in the back of the book just explaining a few random bits and bobs or tying up side characters stories or giving the history of an institution just for funsies. Also there is a really wide cast of fully fleshed out, real characters who have pitfalls and bad habits and do the wrong thing for the right reasons and have relationships with each other that live a breathe and feel like an actual underpinning of the story. There’s even ghosts guys come on.
The author also loved the world so much she wrote a follow on trilogy set about 10 years after the 7th book (yes that’s ten books in this world you read that right) where we open up a whole other branch of magic in this world and expand upon it while still keeping an eye on and catching up with the characters we all fell in love with in the OG series. Speaking of the author-
this is her 👆she’s just an English lady called Angie Sage who lives in Cornwall and, to my knowledge, just lives her fucking life without trying to do any genocides. She just writes her stories and goes about her business.
In conclusion dump HP and JoKe Rowling and pick up the incredible world of Septimus Heap and Normal Author Lady Angie Sage instead!

This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
https://www.healthline.com/health/air-embolism#outlook
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
i-
….thank you tumblr??
hm.
I legit thought this was a shitpost until I saw the rest of the comments
I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, too.
Well I never
As a general rule of thumb, do not push air into any bodily orifice, regardless of gender. It never ends well. Air compressors and the human body do NOT mix.
Not even the mouth, shit can rupture a lung.
I’m asexual but reblogging to potentially save lives
Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease
Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. She:
was admitted to Julliard at 8.
was performing in top venues by 16.
pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.
was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.
went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.” Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.
refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.
She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.
@theladyragnell
Let’s un-forget her.
So I learned something new today!
Just need a look under the hood.

“I’m not racist, but…” ass website
Call me whatever names you wish, but I think this is a much better (and healthier) attitude than “anyone under 18 should never be allowed to see any sexual imagery ever”
(For reference: this was at the Tom of Finland exhibition, containing actual, queer, kinky af pornography. There were definitely some young people there, perhaps in their late teens. There was even a parent with their baby who was probably too young to understand anything at all. And guess what, all those people are probably going to be fine.)
[ID: a sign saying “Please note: there is no age limit, but the exhibition is not recommended for children due to the explicit sexual imagery it contains. Parental or guardian discretion is advised.”]
Hey this is a pretty cool approach maybe we should take that to the Internet instead of trying to invade the privacy of millions of adults because some parents can't parent their kids
Yes! Thisss!

Yeah…this, but for Ripley’s exhibitions
If you somehow don’t know…it does get disgusting sometimes, and kids love it
this reads like it was submitted to a local newspaper in the early 1900s
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”
IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic.
Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.
