Is it weird that this is what I’m most exited for this week

I have seen Encanto and honestly, same

i haven't seen encanto yet but i have already decided that my favorite characters are the buff lady and the tiny rat man

I said it in the tags of a post but honestly, I feel like I need to make my own post because while we're doing the whole "stop supporting jkr!" thing I need everyone to remember that not only is she blatantly transphobic (and specifically transmisogynistic), but that she and her books are incredibly racist and antisemitic.

Appropriating Indigenous American cultures for her American wizard school. Making all of the bankers in her books hook-nosed goblins. Naming the ONLY East Asian character in the books "Cho Chang" and putting her in the "smart people house". The way that she treats the Patil Twins, the only two other Asians, and the only South Asians in the series. The way that she treats ALL her characters of color. JKR's racism has always been there. People just seem to gloss over it for some reason and to be honest, I'm getting really frustrated and tired of constantly adding that racism is a problem in the notes of these posts. And this is literally just based on Harry Potter! The rest of her stuff surely has even more problems!

I don't want to downplay her transphobia. That's a huge issue that, I, especially as a trans person, cannot emphasize enough! But as a person of color, I feel like I need to remind y'all that it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I think OP of this post I rbed about JKR's racism specifically against Indigenous Americans put it perfectly. This has made it painfully obvious that people are white before they are queer.

It's not that hard just to acknowledge her racism alongside her transphobia. If you're making a post about her remember that she's shitty in so many other ways, and she's always been shitty.

I know this is long but I'm rambling, so...

tl;dr JKR is racist as well as transphobic. Just acknowledge that in your pleas for people to stop supporting her. Please. It's literally so easy. anyways jkr's a piece of shit and I hope she burns in hell!!

- sincerely, a trans poc who's tired of this shit

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

Among us again

Shits wild

My little brother (2 years old) really likes brushing his teeth cause he gets to play with the water in the sink

On the one hand, it means we don’t have to worry about his personal hygiene in that area

On the other hand, it means at about 8:40 every day he goes and stands outside the bathroom door chanting “teeth, teeth, teeth!” Over and over again

Spent tonight doing Christmas Shit™ despite it being November because it has been a tough year and if we wanna put a tree up and make sugar cookies a month early we fuckin will

It’s a beautiful morning, guys, gals, and nb pals, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the Cheeto is out of office, hallelujah everybody

Throwback to the 2016 election when I fell asleep before results came in and upon waking up the next morning, blearily asked who won, blissfully unaware that everything was about to go to shit

Playing Among Us with my brother is so fucking funny because he omits the truth and embelleshes things in discussions to make himself seem less sus but only when he really is a crewmate? And then he gets caught in the lie and of course we throw him out and he’s innocent every time? And he just Doesn’t Do That as the imposter so whenever he’s not acting suspicious we’re just like ‘should we vote him out or is he just getting better at being a not-sus crewmate’ and it’s hysterical

I find it funny that people who live in the lower 48 are all like “bald eagles are so majestic and beautiful, symbols of our nation” whereas up here in Alaska, we talk about them almost like people talk about raccoons or opossums

Like “yeah you can usually see a minimum of 6 or 7 around the dump area because they like to hang out there all day and eat garbage”

Symbols of our nation though they may be, they are still trash-eating birds

Played Among Us for the first time today and I gotta say... my favorite part is the dead chat

MY LITTLE SISTER JUST LOOKED AT ME AND SAID “ITS FUCKING SNOWING”

SHES LIKE ELEVEN YEARS OLD WHAT THE FUCK

So it’s my brothers birthday, and I got him something online a few weeks ago. For whatever stupid reason, it only started shipping yesterday and won’t be here for a while, so we printed off a picture of what I got him and we’re gonna give that to him today. The plan was to put it in an envelope or something, but then my mom asked if I’d wrapped my present to him yet. She quickly realized her mistake and corrected it, but I had already heard, and seeing as I am hugely pedantic, well...

Did I wrap a single slip of printer paper? Yes

Did I do it in Christmas wrapping paper? Also yes

Did I do a good job? Well, it turned out square, so we’re gonna go with no

I decided to show my little brother the How to Train your Dragon trilogy and just

Me after the first movie: fun cool dragon movie, just how I remember it, nice

Me after the second movie: *crying* fuck

Me after the third movie: *still crying* FUCK

On the bright side he’s just found one of the spiders I’ve left alive in the bathroom

I know this because he just shrieked so loud I’m sure everyone In the neighborhood thinks someone in this house has just been murdered

My older brother just told me that, basically, since I decided to not work 60 hour weeks on a less-than-minimum-wage-by-a-lot salary, I do Nothing and am Nobody so fuck him and his fucking “I’m working so hard all the time, I need you to make me food and do my chores and give me a pass on my dickishness” bullshit

Everybody in this house is stressed, bitch, dads got a new job that getting COVID could wreck for him, moms sacrificed all her time to an out of the house business making and selling Montessori style works for kids, and my classes, two of which I’m taking at the local college as my first ever college classes, are all behind because of a godamn schedule mishap. None of us are dicks to each other for no reason.

Apologies for the rant, it’s 10:00 at night and I’m bitter and angry and stressed the fuck out

Me finding a Giant Motherfucking Spider™️ in the bathroom and deliberately leaving it alone so that my wuss siblings might find it later and pay me to kill it for them

Every once in a while you’ll be having a nice family dinner and your mom will remind you that she reads Pride and Prejudice fanfiction in a casual conversation and continue with her thought like she hasn’t thrown everybody for a loop again

Not to be political but I’m just so fucking angry right now

Surya Bonaly was a black Olympic figure skater for France in the 1990’s. During one of her routines, she did a backflip.

Yes, you heard me. A fucking backflip. On ICE.

No-one else has done that since.

Anyway, the judges were racist as hell, and didn’t like that one bit. A black woman showing up the competition? God forbid. So they told her the move didn’t count for her score because she didn’t land on one leg, like people are apparently supposed to in Olympic figure skating.

In response, this incredible woman, during her next routine, did another backflip and landed on one leg. What’s more, she finished the routine with her back to the judges, like a boss.

Predictably, the judges didn’t like that either. They said she shouldn’t do that anymore, since it was “too dangerous” and they didn’t want her encouraging others to try to do the same (nevermind that triple axels and shit are dangerous as fuck too).

But she kept doing it.

Again.

And again.

It was like her personal ‘fuck you’ to the judges every time she performed.

Because this woman is a badass.

Anyway, I’m just so mad that they refused to give her marks for fucking backflipping on ice. I’m mad that she only ever got silver. And I’m furious that I’d never heard of her till now.

As the couch potato sibling of the overachiever to end all overachievers, having a higher gpa than him does wonders for the inferiority complex

Nothing I will ever see in my whole life will ever bring me as much joy as watching my 4-month old dog try to fit her entire foot in her mouth

It’s all downhill from here

My mom, at the store: *wearing a mask*

Some asshole old dude: *sarcastically* does that mask make you feel safer?

Mom: *in English* oh I don’t speak English.

Asshole: ...you... don’t speak English?

Mom: *still in English* Nope! Not even a little.

Asshole: ...

Mom: *proceeds to ignore all his attempts to argue, then speaks to the cashier in English right in front of him*

God I love my mom so fucking much

On the one hand, having a puppy is great. On the other hand, have you ever had to pry open a hyperactive puppy’s mouth full of sharp-as-fuck baby teeth and pull out a saliva covered used bandaid from ages past? Because that shit is nasty

When your dad finally catches your sibling in the act of being an ass and when he’s scolding them he says all the things you’ve thought privately and never said cause you’re bad at confrontation

When You See Everyone In The Fandom Creating Such Amazing Art And You Want To Contribute But You Can’t Draw To Save Your Life

I envy you guys honestly 😢
