you can't fool me op ive seen the game

I've seen these bastards even before the game. Nothing's helpful about them. This creature is full of rage and is ready to kill you at sight. And I'm speaking as a goose survivor

Op, i just literally scrolled through several hundres of posts to find this one and reblog again and say i that i apologize for whatever stupid shit i said about your duck. Ducks are good. Geese are bastards. I know better now.

Your sins are forgiven 💚

So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.

unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists

Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong

And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.

the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.

Trump racism poisons all his decisions. Trump can never acknowledge black excellence.

What’s his name and what’d he do? I wanna look him up

I’m glad you asked! Read more about Rodney Robinson here! This man is a treasure.

sharing to promote Mr Robinson <3

This is to you, Mr Robinson…

Mr.Robinson is an awesome guy, and good news he did get to meet with the president. (well depending on your view on meeting the president)

The article is from last year

…and, at the time of his death, he was one of the most hated people in the USA.

The FBI sent him a letter trying to convince him to commit suicide. Don’t let this revisionist bullshit slide. The things they say now about protests, kneeling, etc, are the same things they said about the sit-ins and marches.

Look at this vintage political cartoon. Reactions to MLK and BLM are near identical.

I am the greatest earthbender in the world! And don’t you dunderheads ever forget it!

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER (2005 - 2008)

Toph’s arc is actually so important, and is often overlooked. It’s not as outspoken as Zuko’s and Sokka’s, but it’s still a great character arc.

As a blind girl, she’s often told she can’t do something, she’ll never be able to live a normal life, she’s fragile, she’s their little girl. She’s been underestimated time and time again. Toph overcame every struggle they threw at her, and she came out more powerful. Toph showed that it’s okay to stand up to your parents, and that even though parents do something out of love, it can still be very harmful to you. Toph showed that it’s okay to be a girl without being explicitly feminine. Toph showed that your handicap isn’t all you are, it’s only part of who you are.

Toph’s arc deserves more appreciation, because it’s just as important for kids to see as Zuko’s redemption and Sokka’s development.

White people get so angry when they’re presented with the truth.

That moment when a single scene in a Bollywood film educates you about the reality of American politics.

This movie is called Kurbaan and thats my man Saif Ali Khan

I love drawing the animals 😭

Harry Potter is authorless.

No. As an English major and a transgender person, no. We do not take this attitude.

Harry Potter is a culturally important work and JK Rowling wrote it.

So many culturally important works of literature were written by people with bad views by today’s and even their time’s standards. Shakespeare? Racist, sexist, islamophobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic. But we don’t erase his name from those plays. Because if we try and claim that those plays were authorless it gives us an awfully convenient excuse to ignore all of the flaws within them and how we may or may not agree with those flaws on a subconscious level.

In the world of literary analysis these days the author is no longer dead. We don’t do that anymore. The author is a ghost hanging over your shoulder. You can interpret their work any way you want and they can have no say in it. But you as a reader must also acknowledge that their original intentions are there. Their personal history and the times they lived in are there.

JK Rowling wrote that series whether you like it or not. Whether that makes you comfortable or not. Harry Potter is one of the most culturally important book series of the last century and it was written by a transphobe. It was written by JK Rowling. Face up to it. Look it dead in the eye. Recognize its flaws and like it anyways if you still want to. But don’t. I repeat don’t. Do not claim that it is authorless. No work of literature is.

We're holding JKR accountable like mature adults and embracing the reality though it hurts us to admit something we love was written by someone who continues to dig her grave but we must

This is the funniest message I’ve ever gotten

Fucking get it, Isabelle
