Today, the class was discussing how ethnic identity is different to “black” Americans and “white” Americans. According to a few people, being white and calling yourself anything other than white is irrelevant, because we “all know our...

face-down-asgard-up replied to your post: I’d like to start this ask by saying that I think Arkh is a great idea, and has the potential to serve a very needed gap in the representation of people who play games.

My sister-in-law died of breast cancer at the age of 33. In the last years of her life, as she bravely fought the disease, she came in contact with multiple groups claiming to be about saving the lives of breast cancer patients. Many were exactly about that and some were critical and extremely important to her in the last months of her life.
But she...

“A Study in Scarlet” is one of the worst stories in the canon, chiefly because nobody had figured out to write a mystery story yet, so it’s more like “Here’s a delightfully eccentric fellow with an amusing parlor trick. Now here’s a horrible murder. Now here’s an anti-Mormon propaganda tract. Holmes, you’re...

The amount of white whine in comments for the poster about racism and “fair skin” is kind of making me facepalm so much right now.
Oh, fellow white people. That ad? Was mild. It was a mild and rather polite way of trying to tell you something that’s been an obvious fact of life for so many others in this world. But instead of engaging, you react defensively because, well, you...

Petal To The Metal
fantasyinminiature:
There is a sound like the crinkling of aluminum foil as the scytheflower slowly unfurls its petals. The stem flexes and they turn to face the rising sun, the petals angling to best catch the light. The plant’s leaves make use of sunlight for photosynthesis, but the mix of metallic elements in the petals allow it to produce energy more directly as they heat up throughout the...

I am in such a goofy mood tonight, and I have no idea why.
oh-delial:
i like having sex with clothes on
u_u
probably one of the most random things about me
but
i kind of refuse to take my shirt off

TMI Tuesday is officially underway.
You know what to do.
