I have such great memories of my very tall friend in hs singing “I’M TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD” when going places with his two very short friends (one was me)

It’s also insidious bc it drums up animosity towards religious minorities. Someone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas feeling a little grumpy about it doesn’t hurt anyone, but the War on Christmas wants people to believe this non-Christian’s existence is a huge threat to their own ability to celebrate
I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.
I know this doesn’t help the actual situation of trying to buy a blazer, but know that short cis men also have the problem of trying to buy clothes and everything is too long! Clothes are made for some imaginary average person and basically no one is having a good time 😭

Art piece of a digital drawing in white ink against a black background of a skunk as seen from an angle and above so that the double white stripe along its back and the sides of its tail is visible. It is sniffing at a bunch of simply-drawn daisy-like blooms in blue, pink, and white to echo the colors of the trans flag. There are more flowers scattered around the image.
Skunk says:

New: Tim Walz told me “it’s a mistake” for Democrats to abandon trans people after 2024. “And here's the thing: we need to tell people your cost of eggs, your health care being denied…has nothing to do with someone's gender.”

Reposting from Twitter: My pie-in-the-sky wish for media literacy is for people to be able to watch problematic media and interrogate the culture and space it comes from instead of using them as vehicles to vacuously express that they've heard of an assortment of moral principles at some point
reading goals for 2024:
— generally my goal is to read more than last year, so 67ish?
— started rereading The Hunger Games series so I plan to finish that!
— would like to read more SFF, more historical, and more adult
— start a bunch of books from my physical TBR to see if I want to DNF/donate!

I really think we need to all be okay with the fact that shitty thoughts exist. Social media tried to convince us that every thought that forms in our head should be shared with the largest megaphone we can find, but actually some thoughts... should just stay thoughts.
I think there’s a lot of fraughtness in the air right now around trying to be a “good person” and it’s causing us to talk less and maybe think less about the fact that being a good person generally refers to actions, not feelings or First Thoughts. Gut reactions will happen! But then what?
