AHHH I am so not active on tumblr anymore but always mean to come back. I just stopped by to edit some of my side pages that I keep up to keep up lists and such and saw this note. SO glad you read it and enjoyed it!! If you haven’t checked out other works by N.K. Jemisin, I’d get on that too! But The Inheritance trilogy has a very special place in my heart.

friendship IS romance : 1. / 2. / 3. fleabag / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8. a little life, hanya yanagihara  / 9. / 10. 

One of my fave TRC quotes:

“But what she didn’t realize about Blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another. She was no less obsessed with them than they were with her, or one another, analyzing every conversation and gesture, drawing out every joke into a longer and longer running gag, spending each moment either with one another or thinking about when next they would be with one another. Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn’t all-encompassing, that wasn’t blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she’d had this kind, she didn’t want the other.”

I love my friends like all of the above and like this quote. It’s passionate. It’s romantic. They’re everything. 

Ahhh so nice to see someone else loving Paragon as much as I do :) Also, considering the last trilogy, Ash/Spark was my instant fave. They deserve more love in fandom <3

Love when ppl find my old long posts! And yes, Paragon is my top-top fave in the series but Ash/Spark is wonderful!! :) 

agreeing with @theawkwardterrier​; xkit doesn’t work with the new dashboard yet so in settings you need to go back to the old dashboard and then xkit will work.

Oh yay thank you both so much that seemed to do it!

I’m sure someone has already discussed this much more in depth than I’m about to, but I’ve just been thinking about how being fat is gendered.

Fat men are feminized with empasis on their perceived softness or lack of dominance (often sizeist mockery of fat cis men focuses on their chests and comparing them to breast tissue in an attempt to emmaculate them). Fat women are masculinized with emphasis on them “taking up space” (often the sizeist mockery of fat cis women focuses on their bellies and physical size comparing them to cis men in an attempt to defeminize them).

In both cases, fatness is perceived as a sort of gender nonconformity which is then punished visciously. I think that’s why fat, visibly LGBT folks face such high rates of interpersonal harassment and abuse.

Even the popular face of non-binary identity is thin, and fat nonbinary people can be mocked and misgendered due to someone gendering their fatness.

I don’t have a concluding point, only that I think sizeism/anti-fatness is closely interrelated with oppressive systems of gender

On the flip side, “acceptable” fat people (as rare as they are) are pretty much always shows hyper genderised.

Women with cute Betty Crocker dresses, long hair, perfect makeup etc.

Men with full beards, rugged flannel shirts or full suits etc.

The message is quite clear “if you insist on existing as a fat fucker, at least have the courtesy to flawlessly follow our gender roles”

I think finding out that Hitler was inspired by how throughly Andrew Jackson committed genocide against the Natives would shatter or at least destabilize the ethos of the Founding Fathers & America for a lot of people

also the american eugenics movement which started in the late 1800′s was a huge inspiration for Hitler, and was even where the idea of blonde hair blue eyed superiority came from, and the idea of a “gas chamber” to take care of “undesirables”. In the early part of the third reich, the american eugenics movement saw it as the logical conclusion of their ““research”” and republished lots and lots of nazi propaganda 

but yeah, nazism is so un-american uwu 

Hitler praised American immigration restrictions in Mein Kampf. When the nazis wrote the notorious Nuremberg Laws, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime, they specifically modelled them after the Jim Crow Laws, the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law of the United States.  

Big chunks of the American legal system and history inspired the nazi’s in their organisation of the Holocaust. 

Welp

That is why you cannot talk about Nazism in The Americas without talking about antiblackness and anti native racism. All that does is absolve the U.S. of the policies it supported (and enforced) by pretending it was purely a foreign invention that they actively tried to resist.
