That has been said before – by Tolkien himself, for one – but it needs repeating. It needs lots of repeating, because there is still, in this country, a deep puritanical distrust of fantasy, which comes out often among people truly and seriously concerned about the ethical education of children. Fantasy, to them, is escapism. They see no difference between the Batmen and Supermen of the commercial dope-factories and the timeless archetypes of the collective unconscious. They confuse fantasy, which in the psychological sense is a universal and essential faculty of the human mind, with infantilism and pathological regression. They seem to think that shadows are something that we can simply do away with, if we can only turn on enough electric lights. And so they see the irrationality and cruelty and strange amoralities of fairy tale, and they say: "But this is very bad for children, we must teach children right from wrong, with realistic books, books that are true to life!"

Read this Ursula K LeGuin essay “The Child and the Shadow,” and it hits so hard right now

Something that bothers me a LOT re:the whole porn discussion is that many of people's concerns about porn are indeed very real - in industry porn. It is RIFE with abuse, coercion, and illegal activity.

But it's never the industry getting targeted??? It's always individuals who 99% of the time --

I don't make nsfw content cos I'm a big chicken but it is yall's god-given right!!!!!!!! puritanism is so ass

I've done successful organizing under pressure and when you call these credit card companies to ask about why they're allowing a fringe Australian group to make their policy, you have to be calm and collected-- even if you're hurt, angry, or nervous.

Your goal is to be listened to and understood

Guess who finally caught up on revenges and has a 50% ratio B)

homestuck? how could you
