Hello there!
I'm a queer disabled leftist POC nerd who does ancient & medieval reenactment.
I post about politics, history, literature, and fandom stuff. So there will be gay Elves/pirates/superheroes mixed in with discussions of history, oppression, and power dynamics. Also medieval food.

The average American Muslim 100% denounces isis while the average American jew supports the state of Israel's existence. Antisemitism is not real until it affects you materially like housing/jobs re Filkenstein which jews are absolutely not affected by in any meaningful way in the US be serious
oh my god. the average american muslim did not personally fight against isis. that does not make islamophobia justified. why are you deliberately lying about the things i say. you are fighting ghosts
What have jews done for Palestinians that is comparable to what Muslims have done and continue to do against mossad made isis? Something like 11 million Muslims were killed in the "war on terror" and we still don't center our feelings like you coddled ghouls who do zero but larp 10x

This is why I detest people like Vivek and Usha and the rest of the Indians on Trump's team: people like Walsh are the majority of the right, and they only ever see the color of our skin, and we will only ever be "third world" citizens to them. You will never be anything other than a useful tool.

Fandom events on Tumblr are always fun, but right now it's Tolkien Food Week, and I'm like MY TIME HAS COME.

i don't like how many people accepted the 'we got here cause cancel culture went too far' reading on the last decade. that's right wing recruitment rhetoric. there was/is 10x more power in complaining about being criticized than doing the criticism.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Love when I have to ask someone to move their bag from the disabled seats so I can sit down (I use a cane), because everyone has their bag on a seat next to them or is otherwise blocking off seats, and then the twat has the gall to make rude comments at me. 😐
