  <title>What is your favorite animal tidbit about the denizens of Lake Baikal?</title>
  <link>https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/466510.html</link>
  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/2BfZQ4g&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/2BfZQ4g&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually my favorite thing about Baikal is the lake itself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;viewed from above, it looks like nothing particularly special. sure, it’s a big lake, but it doesn’t have the surface area of the Great Lakes or the Caspian Sea, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WRONG!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOOM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see, Lake Baikal really isn’t a lake at all, it’s a deep rent in the earth’s crust called a Rift Valley that just happened to get water in it. and the Baikal rift is one of the deepest and narrowest on earth, making this deceptively placid lake slightly over a MILE deep! that’s bonkers nutso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like, you think the OCEAN is bad, just imagine being in a little fishing boat on this thing without realizing just how far away the bottom is….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/466519.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=466510&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Made with corvid researcher Dr. Kaeli Swift for her blog post on the subject!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are all well and good (accurate and informative and also fun) but here’s the best way to tell the difference between the two:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ravens are FUCKING huge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/466327.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=466242&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/2BKJIaZ&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/2BKJIaZ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;texnessa:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I want to tell a story about an invisible elephant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, when I was in graduate school at UCSB, the department of religious studies held a symposium on diasporic religious communities in the United States. Our working definition for religious diaspora that day was, “religious groups from elsewhere now residing as large, cohesive communities in the US.” It was a round table symposium, so any current scholar at the UC who wanted to speak could have a seat at the table. A hunch based on hundreds of years of solid evidence compelled me to show up, in my Badass Academic Indigenous Warrior Auntie finery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were around 15-20 scholars at the table, and the audience was maybe fifty people. There was one Black scholar at the table, and two Latinx scholars, one of whom was one of my dissertation advisors. The other was a visiting scholar from Florida, who spoke about the diasporic Santería community in Miami. But everyone else at the table were white scholars, all progressively liberal in their politics, many of whom were my friends. Since there was no pre-written agenda, I listened until everyone else had presented. I learned a tremendous amount about the Jewish diaspora in the US, and about the Yoruba/Orisha/Voudou, Tibetan Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu communities, and even about a small enclave of Zoroastrians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they went on, I realized my hunch had been correct, and I listened to them ignore the elephant, invisible and silent, at that table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I decided to help her speak the hell up. “Hello, my name is Julie Cordero. I’m working on my PhD in Ethnobotany, Native American Religious Traditions, and history of global medical traditions. I’d like to talk about the European Catholic and Protestant Christian religious diaspora in the United States, as these are the traditions that have had by far the greatest impact on both the converted and non-converted indigenous inhabitants of this land.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total silence. And then several “hot damns” from students and colleagues in the audience. I looked around the table at all the confused white faces. My Latinx advisor slapped his hand on the table and said, “Right!!?? Let’s talk about that, colleagues.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Black scholar, who was sitting next to me, started softly laughing. As I went on, detailing the myriad denominations of this European Christian Diaspora, including the Catholic diocese in which I’d been raised and educated, and the brutal and genocidal Catholic and Protestant boarding schools that had horribly traumatized generations of First Nations children, and especially as I touched on how Christians had twisted the message of Christ to try and force people stolen from Africa to accept that their biblically-ordained role was to serve the White Race, her laughs grew more and more bitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Religious Studies department chair, who’d given a brilliant talk on the interplay between Jewish and Muslim communities in Michigan, stopped me at one point, and said, “Julie, I see the point you are so eloquently making, but you’re discussing American religions, not religious diasporic communities.” I referred to the definition of diaspora we had discussed at the start of the discussion, and then said, “No, Clark. If I were here to discuss religions that were not from elsewhere, I’d be discussing the Choctaw Green Corn ceremony, the Karuk Brush Dance, the Big Head ceremonial complex in Northern California, the Lakota Sun Dance, or the Chumash and Tongva Chingichnich ritual complex.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got a bit heated for a few moments, as several scholars-without-a-damn-clue tried to argue that we were here to discuss CURRENT religious traditions, not ancient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well. I’ll let you use your imagination as to the response from the POC present, which was vigorously backed by the three young First Nations students who were present in the audience (all of whom practice their CURRENT ceremonial traditions). It got the kind of ugly that only happens with people whose self-perception is that they, as liberal scholars of world cultures with lots of POC friends and colleagues, couldn’t possibly be racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Black colleague stood and left without a word. I very nearly did. But I stayed because of my Auntie role to the Native students in the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked around at that circle of hostile faces, and waited for one single white scholar to see how unbelievably racist was this discursive erasure of entire peoples - including my people, on whose homeland UCSB is situated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, a friend spoke up. “If we are going to adhere to the definition of diaspora outlined here, she is technically correct.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then my dear friend, a white scholar of Buddhism: “In Buddhist tradition, the Second Form of Ignorance is the superimposition of that which is false over that which is true. In this case, all of us white scholars are assuming that every people but white Americans are ‘other,’ and that we have no culture, when the underlying fact is that our culture is so dominant that we’ve deluded ourselves into thinking it’s the neutral state of human culture against which all others are foreign. Even the Black people our ancestors abducted and enslaved we treat as somehow more foreign than ourselves. And, most absurdly, the peoples who are indigenous to this land are told that we belong here more than they do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People stared at their hands and doodled. The audience was dead quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you know what happened then? The elephant was no longer invisible, and my colleagues and I were able to have a conversation based on the truths about colonialism and diaspora. We were THEN able to name and discuss the distinctions between colonial settlements and immigrant settlements, and how colonial religious projects have sought to overtake, control, and own land, people, and resources, while immigrant and especially refugee diasporic communities simply seek a home free from persecution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we continue this national discussion, it is absolutely key to never, ever let that elephant be invisible or silent. You are on Native Land. Black descendants of human beings abducted from their African homelands are not immigrants. European cultures are just human cultures, among many. And the assignation of moral, cultural, racial superiority of European world views over all non-Euro human cultures is a profound delusion, one that continues to threaten and exterminate all people who oppose it, and even nature itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that this story has comforted the afflicted and afflicted the comfortable.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Julie Cordero-Lamb, herbalist &amp;amp; ethnobotanist from the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/466141.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=466098&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/2CFuGDE&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/2CFuGDE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a—ka-l-t—yn:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;revretch:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;revretch:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprised to find I have looped around to thinking mammals and birds are more interesting than amphibians and non-avian reptiles. Just, after all this research into other animals, I can truly appreciate how fucked up mammals and birds are for vertebrates. The first one went deep in the ground and altered its biology at a fundamental level to get by on as little oxygen as it could, the second went high into the sky and altered its biology at a fundamental level to make as much use of oxygen as it could, and they are entirely unlike any other animals with bones as a result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still love herps, though, obviously. They just feel like the inoffensive normal animals now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mammals have red blood cells with no nuclei. This is not normal. As a result, our red blood cells can’t divide, and we have to make our blood in our bones. This is to keep our blood cells’ demands for oxygen at a minimum, so they can devote themselves entirely to just transporting oxygen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birds, on the other hand, make such excessive use of oxygen that they have various sacs throughout their bodies to work as accessory lungs, and entirely hollowed out their bones to use those as lungs, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mammals are moist. They are very, VERY moist. You cut one, and it gushes. And, as you may have noticed, we are also warm. This creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other microbes. We are absolutely full of them. Llamas aim for the eyes when they spit, because that can cause an infection that goes straight to the brain. Cat claws and teeth cause an infection that kills a bird swiftly. Mammals are rarely poisonous because they don’t need to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birds have gone the other route. Their bodies are much hotter than mammals, but as we mentioned with how much of them is empty air, they are also much drier. Their beaks barely retain any saliva at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “Fish,” amphibians, and non-avian reptiles represent a neat line going up to land from water, and mammals and birds represent the forking point to go to the ground and sky from there, respectively. (Generally speaking, of course–every group will have its exceptions.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just think that’s really cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve never considered how moist mammals are and now I can’t stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/465765.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=465891&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Despite contrary belief, dwelling on and badgering yourself over your faults doesn’t ever help you grow into who you want to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s like gardening: if your flower isn’t blossoming like you want it to, you don’t rip out its leaves as punishment for failing to satisfy you. You recognize the problem and figure out what’s going wrong with its environment so you can modify it, giving the flower a chance to bloom in its own time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accept your shortcoming or setback, forgive yourself, and figure out what’s going wrong so that you can plan for how to prevent it from repeating in the future. Thank your past self for trying in the first place and then give your future self the love needed to flourish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am almost affronted at how good and forgiving this advice is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flawless positivity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read once, don’t remembet where or know if it’s true, that in order to train an animal and to remain good friends with it, you need a 5/1 ratio of positive vs. negative interactions. So for every interaction that the animal considers negative - pilling a cat, for example - you need FIVE positive interactions, such as treats, cuddles, play, or praise if you want to remain on the best possible terms with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This applies to your relationship with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you aren’t positively interacting with yourself but are instead consistently berating, punishing, or being disgusted with yourself, you are 100% going to have a lot of emotional pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You aren’t perfect. Nobody is and nobody should feel like they have to be. You will make mistakes. And contrary to what a lot of folks, self included, seem to believe, being mean to yourself because you think you “deserve” it won’t actually help you learn or becone a better person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All it does is teach you not to trust yourself, and teach you that you will always disappoint yourself. You take on a toxic relationship with yourself where you play both parts. It’s terrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, you HAVE to learn to forgive yourself. You actually cannot grow effectively in the confines of a toxic relationship. Including one you have with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it isn’t easy, I have a hard time too, but it is so, so necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can’t hate yourself into being happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t remember where I read this but it literally changed my life and how I approach growth and personal development. It can be hard to keep in mind sometimes, but it puts it in a way that’s hard to argue with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cat, who plays Boblem on &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=nyxrising&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=nyxrising&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;nyxrising&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ‘s Life of the Party D&amp;amp;D show put this beautifully into words, and I cry each time I read these words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know, people are kinda like trees, kinda like a plant. So here’s how I see it: when a plant is not really growing, or if it’s decaying, you don’t get angry at the plant and go ‘why don’t you grow?!’ You try to feed it back into health, you know? And I think it’s the same with people. Instead of getting angry at yourself for things you might not like about you, you should try to nourish yourself. Back into health. Does that make sense?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/465215.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=465380&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>cop-disliker69: You will misunderstand the economic</title>
  <link>https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/464981.html</link>
  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/3g82lob&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/3g82lob&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cop-disliker69:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will misunderstand the economic history of white supremacy in America if you’re under the impression that convict labor (the “except as punishment for a crime” bit of the 13th Amendment) was how the plantation economy of the South continued after the official abolition of slavery. It mainly wasn’t. Convict labor was always only a relatively small sector of the Southern economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vast majority of freed slaves became sharecroppers and tenant farmers on white-owned land. This was the real basis of the continuation of the slave-based Southern agrarian economy. And though many of the most egregious elements of slavery were now mostly gone (the whip, the overseers, the legal inability to leave), the basic slave-plantation economy was still intact as these black farm laborers now basically worked for the same “wages” as they had as slaves. Landowners would sell a few basic living essentials like food, clothing, and heating oil to the laborers on credit, and at harvest time, the sharecroppers’ or tenant farmers’ “earnings” from their crop would be used to pay off their debt to the landowner, usually leaving them at zero, or even still in the red, indebted to the landowner. From a financial standpoint, this was hardly any different than slaves working and receiving zero wages besides those same basic living essentials from the slave master.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forced convict labor existed in all of this, and was used to keep many black people involved in more obvious slavery (complete with the chains, the overseers, and even the whip), but the convict-leasing system and the state-run plantations run by prison labor did not constitute the majority of the Southern economy, neither in terms of the percentage of the population involved nor in economic output.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To this day, prison labor in the US only constitutes a small fraction of the economy, and is not in any way profitable. The companies that use prison labor are able to profit because they don’t have to pay any of the living costs of the prisoners, nor the costs of incarcerating them, as the state pays for all that. The amount of money the state has to spend incarcerating people dwarfs the amount of revenue there is to be gained from exploiting prison labor. It is generally a net loss for the overall economy. Even in cases where the state saves money by using cheap prison labor to replace expensive free labor (like California’s firefighters), this is simply them attempting to recoup some of the cost they spend incarcerating those workers in the first place. Whether the state uses prisoners as firefighters or not, it costs them the same amount of money to lock those people up, it’s a sunk cost. So they figure they might as well try to save some money on their fire-fighting budget by employing prisoners at $2 an hour instead of free labor at $40/hr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prison labor cannot in any way be described as the basis of the US economy, and it cannot grow to become one either. It is unproductive. Incarceration loses more revenue than it generates. The prison-industrial complex is a parasitic tumor on the economy. It does not constitute the economic logic of white supremacy. The US carceral system needs to be understood as an apparatus of state terror, not of economic production. Its purpose is to discipline and intimidate, not to produce. Its purpose in the structure of white supremacy in America is not for the exploitation of black labor. If that were its purpose, it does so incredibly inefficiently, spending more money than it earns. Its purpose in the structure of white supremacy is for terrorizing and disciplining the black population, breaking urban black political power, and strengthening rural political representation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/464994.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=464981&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Impact of weight bias and stigma on quality of care and outcomes for patients with obesity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight stigma in maternity care: women’s experiences and care providers’ attitudes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fat Shaming Tied to Increased Risk of Metabolic Problems&lt;br /&gt;this one that says that obese people who are made to feel bad about their weight are 41% more likely to have medical complications as a result of the internalized stress (high cholesterol, high sugars, high blood pressure- or need meds to treat those conditions), versus people who don’t feel stigmatized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘People First’ – Ending Weight Bias in Diabetes Care&lt;br /&gt;“ Evidence also indicates that doctors may spend less time in appointments, provide less health education, build less rapport, have lower expectations for medication adherence, and have less desire to help patients with obesity compared with thinner patients. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think about this every time I see something saying that obesity is a high risk factor for any other illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/464548.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=464396&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>This is a long post but this is important especially if you live somewhere where fireworks have been</title>

  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/3i1vink&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/3i1vink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alwaysbewoke:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you been following this blog of mine for a while you know i’m NOT into conspiracy theories BUT this shit is fucking fishy as hell. this is NOT fucking normal and i truly believe this is a part of how police fight back against calls to defund and/or disband them. i’ve said for a while now (mostly on twitter) that ppl who want to abolish the police (i am one of them) need to get ready for war cause cops will fight us to the point of killing us to maintain their power. i absolutely believe they are believe this sudden and constant stream of fireworks happening across the country targeted in areas where there were massive marches calling to defund the police. this would be very easy to coordinate given all the communication tools we have today (whatapp, fb messenger, ig direct message, skype and etc) and like the last tweeter stated, given all the crap we know the police be involved in, giving away fireworks ain’t shit BUT if raises the number of complaints they don’t respond to, they can use that to make themselves look good. i mean check it…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that’s a hell of a fucking jump (for all the ppl who want to claim this is normal (stfu)) and they are not responding to those calls. why? they are behind it and then they can use this to say “see, y’all need us. don’t defund us.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i won’t repeat what’s already in the tweets but yea, i am 100% this is warfare by the police against calls to hold them accountable and to defund them BUT we can’t back down. the mere fact they are doing this proves they are scared and we are right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fuck the police! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/464252.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=464324&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/2YeMNZq&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/2YeMNZq&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;copperbadge:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In early June, JK Rowling posted an essay about how persecuted she was for her transphobia, reciting a number of tired and easily refuted transphobic talking points that don’t really need recitation here. It was such an appalling misuse of her platform and such a terrible incitement to stigma and violence against trans people that I decided to take what I considered really a pretty minimal action, and add the following to every Harry Potter fanfic I have posted at AO3:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I condemn JK Rowling’s recent transphobic, inaccurate, and dangerous statements on sex and gender identity. If you agree with her views, please do not read, comment on, or kudo this fanfic. I support the rights of transgender people to be called by their chosen pronouns, respected in their expression of gender, and treated fairly and equally in all things.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since posting I have had several positive comments from readers and a couple of emails about why I chose to make the statement, to which I responded (in part) that transphobes don’t deserve the gift of my writing. And it’s true; I could be the worst writer in fandom (I’m not, but it’s true that I’m not proud of some of my early works or some aspects of those works) and transphobes still wouldn’t deserve to read them. It is hypocrisy to express queerphobic, transphobic views and read my fanfic, which has been queer-inclusive to the best of my ability for over fifteen years now. And it felt like it was time to put that out on Tumblr as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/462449.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=462390&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>via &lt;a href=&quot;https://ift.tt/2MOPdaL&quot;&gt;https://ift.tt/2MOPdaL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;theactualcluegirl:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I refuse to hear any Virtue Signaling shit about the Harry Potter books from anyone who liked Supernatural, Sherlock, Twilight, Game of Thrones, 50 Shades, or Doctor Who. Not. One. Problematical. Word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;avantegarda:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, @ people jumping on the bandwagon like “oh I never liked that horrible problematic series, I can’t believe you enjoyed it when you were little, you bigot!”: chill. I promise it’s not a competition to see who was the wokest nine year old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;avantegarda:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All right kids it’s time for “two opinions I don’t think are contradictory” time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JK Rowling has said a lot of dumbass stuff and it’s completely valid to dislike her and criticize some parts of the Harry Potter universe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those books meant a lot to me and plenty of other people as kids and I still think they have a lot of redeeming qualities and generally entertaining bits, though of course I don’t expect everyone to like them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go. That’s what’s up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/462263.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&amp;ditemid=462088&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
