“It [The Lord of the Rings] is finished, if still partly unrevised, and is, I suppose, in a condition which a reader could read, if he did not wilt at the sight of it…now I look at it, the magnitude of the disaster is apparent to me. My work has escaped from my control, and I have produced a monster: an immensely long, complex, rather bitter, and very terrifying romance, quite unfit for children (if fit for anybody); and it is not really a sequel to The Hobbit, but to The Silmarillion.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien to Sir Stanley Unwin, 24 February 1950

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago

any bitch that says “you can be critical of israel but-” or “israel had racist government but-” should swallow a goddamn boot

i’m not “critical” of israel, i think it shouldn’t exist. i don’t think anyone has a right to a fascist apartheid ethnostate built on the mass graves of an indigenous population. and reducing the horror of ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid laws that palestinians have been enduring for decades to just “israeli government is kinda racist” makes me fucking lose my mind

@masriyah what do you think should happen to the Israeli people, if Israel were to dissolve & it all becomes free Palestine?

i don’t know and i don’t think that’s more important to think about than the dismantling of apartheid and settler colonialism under which palestinians are suffering right now

Three big points here:

1. After the end of Apartheid in South Africa, white South Africans have continued to dominate the country economically. In fact, the richest white South Africans have only INCREASED the amount of wealth they’re hoarding since Apartheid ended. South Africa has the worst wealth gap on the planet, with race remaining the largest determining factor in a person’s socioeconomic standing. Despite white South African moral panics about “white genocide,” Black people are disproportionately at risk of violence in post-Apartheid South Africa. Based on historic precedent, Palestinians are at higher risk of socioeconomic exploitation and ongoing violence than their colonisers even if the Israeli state is abolished.
2. If you’re genuinely concerned about Israelis, maybe consider that living in a fascist state that is arresting people for social media posts that aren’t genocidal enough is something that already exists and is happening to them right now and that not living in a genocidal fascist state would be better for anyone who isn’t fascist and genocidal.
3. Israel is carrying out genocide. Creating moral panics about hypothetical reverse genocides to demonise resistance to an actually ongoing genocide is straight up fucked. Go fuck yourself.

What’s the point of the un, the geneva conventions, international law, etc if we see a genocide happening in front of our eyes but nothing is done to stop it.

I’m sorry but I’m having a full emotional meltdown over the fact that Ed, in this moment, understands that Stede needs a little extra reassurance. Ed understands that he needs to look at Stede, and nod, and smile, and touch him, and let him know that Ed knows he’s there, and is a part of the group.

Stede is never again going to be left on the outskirts of a social moment while everybody else laughs.

Just, compare this to the French party boat, and Calico Jack. Ed sees Stede, now. He sees the uncertainty and the grief of being left out, always left out, never interesting or fun or cool enough. He gets that, now, and he can do something about it.

What an incredible moment to give us.
