tell me 5 things you’d put in a pentagram to summon me and I’ll tell you if it would work or not

Send me an ask 😀

How do you feel about Tolkien fandom? I never really felt welcome in it. I remember talking on livejournal about the Hobbit movies and people were mad because the elves were supposed to be above going to war over gold, but when I said I hated the reading of dwarves just being greedy and the portrayal of Thorin’s goldsickness I got called an SJW. It feels you’re not allowed to disagree with the text, you can complain about the movies but not the books.

(Sorry so late!)

OK, so. I’m not the best person to sympathize with over being called an SJW, because I disagree with a lot of so-called SJW ideology and methods (still very liberal, though!). However, you are 100% right. Both the movies and the books should be open to criticism, including the gross anti-Semitism. I mean, everything except for “MY HEADCANON SHOULD BE CANON AND YOU SUCK IF YOU DON’T THINK SO!” is fair game.

Growing up Jewish is finding out how many children’s authors everyone admires is antisemitic to some degree and then feeling crushed. And then being told you’re oversensitive for not being able to love them the same anymore.

Exactly.

Happy New Year

Thank you! (And sorry for the late reply.) Shanah tovah u’metukah, chag sameach!

Proof that Maynard is Glunkus.

You know, no matter what my abusers are doing, I made scientific progress today and I’ve been giddy for hours. And no one can take that away from me.

“No, Autumn! Fork is not for Autumn!”

Thanks, anon! 🙂 I really hope that’s the case.

There is so much I want to rant about in Switched at Birth Season 4.

How about that auscultation is a GIANT part of medicine, and being able to hear in an emergency is important, and fobbing that off on nurses and other doctors is unfair, and Daphne Sue not getting something she wants for once doesn’t make everyone who points it out an ableist? That scene with her and Natalie in the hospital could’ve been used to pave the way for her considering a career as an interpreter. Opportunity ignored!

How about that not everyone has the capacity to spend their lives raising a severely disabled child and that is OKAY? If I were pregnant and scans showed DS, I would abort because I WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY KILL MYSELF WITHIN A FEW YEARS from the combination of my disabilities and theirs. I’m already prone to suicide attempts.

How about college isn’t for everyone?

I hope this show redeems itself.
