Historic Sit In

Historic Sit In

Just found out today that one of the first sit-ins in America happened at the Alexandria Library in 1939. This was started by a black lawyer named Samuel Wilbert Tucker, and while he lost the case, Tucker continued to fight back against segregation and was part of the NAACP.

Practice social distancing by writing a three part condemnation of institutionalised religion that makes you the enemy of everyone.

Percy Shelley, when he was expelled from Oxford. (via incorrect-romanticism)

Seriously, everyone is missing OP’s point that EVERY religion except the Christian religion analogue is treated like crap. If that’s not Christian bias, I don’t know what is.

 I’m still mad about the retconning of the Elven Pantheon in Inquisition. If they were set on Mythal being betrayed by the others and Fen'Harel being more than a trickster god, they could have done that without making all of the Elven gods straight up evil. I understand that fleshing them out would require making them less perfectly benevolent. Instead they lack any nuance and they basically made them the Elven equivalent of power hungry Tevinter Magisters. The Maker is still real though.

Catfighting is Overrated

The sexist fridging of Meetra Surik to make Revan suffer has already been discussed in depth already, but the one thing no one has mentioned is that apparently Bastila Shan doesn’t get along with her and is jealous of her “special relationship” with Revan. The whole women fighting over a man is overdone, overrated, and sexist. It assumes that every woman wants/needs a man (ignoring preferring women, being asexual, being aromantic, or gasp! deciding you’re happy being single), and that all women are in competition for men. Not that this doesn’t happen in real life, but to assume that the only way women relate to each other is viewing each other as competition for “getting” a man is cliché and sexist. 

The main reason I headcanon Meetra and Bastila as BFFs is a big FU to Karpsyshyn’s sexist writing, and it’s way more complex and fascinating to have Bastila and Meetra, be BFFs who had a falling out over Meetra joining the Revanchists then to have them be another cliché catfight over a man.

Hell yes to all of this. 

So goddamn annoying that bi women can’t talk about our issues without some donkey insisting we are purposely pitting ourselves against lesibans and sympathizing with our “straight oppressors.”

Maybe if y’all quit calling us degrading names like breeders and handmaidens and quit telling us we deserve to be raped because of our attraction to men, or trying to remove us from lgbt spaces, and using our trauma as a means to bully and harasss us, we wouldn’t have to constantly bring this shit up.

Pointing out shitty, phobic behavior perpetuated by political lesbianism doesn’t make us the villains. You’re still a monster if you subscribe to those ideals, you’re still a biphobe. Your gold star sexuality does not exempt you.
