Happy Pride Y'all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Pip & Jorran - Introduction

Hi everyone!

Pip and I want to welcome you to our new page!

We thought it fitting to launch now as it's the first weekend of Pride Month.

Here you will find:

Pip and I are:

We naturally oppose racism, transphobia, fascism, queerphobia, and capitalism. We stand for left unity, workers' rights, trans rights, and social justice. We believe that everyone has the right to clean air, clean water, food, shelter, self-determination, and bodily autonomy. We believe in open borders and that no person is illegal.

Our world is a lot like yours, although you may find some differences here and there. We'll try to explain them over time, but here, everything seems just a little bit more magical.

We hope you enjoy your time with us!

Additionally, you can find our links in the bio here, feel free to give us a follow those places and don't forget to check back since we're still setting up.

Thanks for reading!

“why would we make plans in front of you if you weren’t invited?” babe i was left out of everything growing up, i need 100% confirmation you want me there or i simply will not go

this is a losing battle but I wish people would realize that gimli was aware of how fucked up moria probably was. him and gloin address this from the start, back in rivendell: they talk multiple times about how they've lost contact with those in moria and they fear evil things. the whole lead up to going through moria is interspersed with descriptions of how deeply important khazad-dum and the mountains it's set in is to the dwarves, even in its darkness and abandonment. then when gandalf proposes the idea we get this line: "only Gimli lifted up his head; a smouldering fire was in his eyes" -- nothing about this speaks to naivety or foolhardiness or ignorance as to moria's situation, this is gimli looking clearly and the choices and dangers and deciding that, for him, moria is the path he wants to take, both because he feels it's the only choice left to them (they'd tried the pass over the mountains (in winter!) and it had gone badly, so he genuinely believed it was the best path to take!) and -- despite the ruin & sorrow he expects there -- it's meaningful for him to go there. this is spelled out explicitly by galadriel two chapters later:

I wish more people would get this not just because it's annoying but also because it's such an important element of his character, that he's sharply aware of his actions and choices, and their consequences, even as he feels them so strongly, and likewise that to him, that sort of grief and loss is ultimately worth facing & experiencing despite everything -- and that this is portrayed within the text as a meaningful choice that's worthy of respect and understanding

Two people were arrested earlier today in Edinburgh. One for shouting “who elected him?” at the proclamation of King Charles, and one for holding a sign saying “fuck imperialism, abolish the monarchy”

Just two be clear, two people were arrested in Scotland in the UK for publicly expressing they did not agree with the appointment of a new unelected head of state

CORRECTION: One person was arrested in Edinburgh (the one with the sign) and the other was arrested in Oxford.

If anyone ever acts like the royal family has no power over this country, here's your reminder they very much do as people aren't even allowed to say what they think on the monarchy without being arrested right now by police.

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

Note the date, people:

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.

So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

supporting my asexual friends and foes by rebbloging this

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

“I think Mace [Windu] is a well thought-out character who has the trust of a lot of people throughout the universe.

It’s important to have characters that people can look at and see that they’ve made a decision to be right. Now we have a lot of antiheroes, and I’ve played a lot of them, but there’s something to be said for the pure, unadulterated good guy.”

— Samuel L. Jackson on his character Mace Windu

Police are on the lookout for two violent antifa activists who disrupted a peaceful Alt Right rally in Illinois. They were last seen 106 miles from Chicago, they had half a tank of gas, a pack of cigarettes, it was dark, and they were wearing sunglasses.

anyone whos been an artist before with artblock knows what its like whenever wizards lose their magic in stories like physically i know it looks like im just sitting here staring angry at a sheet of paper but in the spiritual sense i am pointing a wand that is fizzling and cracking in a very dangerous manner only for it to make a pathetic woopie cushion sound and then go limp

A friend of mine and I made this so i will find it for you <3

here it is! had to find it from my other blog also feel free to check my /tagged/mirialan

I can't stand people only like WoT for its "queer content" (ignore my url)

I only like WoT for its multiple storylines which involve elaborate unsafe homoerotic BDSM scenerios (again ignore my url)
