There are multiple posts saying that Legolas is the Texan amongst the Fellowship of the Ring and you’re all wrong it’s Gandalf. It’s 1000% Gandalf. Gandalf followed a wild horse for two days to tame it and would regularly ride up to the Shire with a cart full of homemade fireworks. Gandalf’s the Texan.
i learned that there was an early 1900s act named “Sober Sue”, who’s draw was she never smiled. A theater offered $1000 to any one who could make her laugh, attracting big comedians. Crowds came out to watch them try, and fail, giving them a free show. Later it came out that Sue suffered from facial paralysis (x)
Right, I understand that you keep track of reactionary/conspiracy communities on the internet. My question is why do you care so much about what the nazis are saying if you aren’t one of them?? It’s just a tiny bit weird especially since even being aware of what terf rhetoric is can often be enough to get indoctrinated by it (I’ve seen this happen irl with my family and friends) no hate to you whatsoever, I just don’t understand why you would open yourself up to keeping tabs on a group of people who are hell-bent on genociding millions of trans folks. That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
to me, this (what anon is saying) is the same kind of thinking that leads to ppl telling jews “well if YOU think of jews when you see [common antisemitic caricature] then maybe YOU’RE the ones being antisemitic!!!!!!!”
we have to learn to see these things bc our survival depends on it. we have to learn to see these things bc other people won’t, and because they won’t they end up just adopting it into their regular old worldview, which is how we get goyim who otherwise would call themselves allies to jews using rhetoric right from protocols of the elders of zion without even realizing it then doing the fucking pikachu meme face when jews are like “hey that’s antisemitic.” people in the alt right aren’t this entirely separate society that you will never encounter unless you dive into the depths of 4chan. they’re your coworkers, your family, your acquaintances, and even your friends.
also i genuinely don’t understand the logic of “if you are aware of what te/rfs/nazis are saying you will probably become one” like????? i’m sorry but fucking skill issue lmfao. te/rfs and nazis want me dead. reading about the different ways they want me dead isn’t going to magically convince me that they’re right to want me dead. if you find yourself becoming sympathetic to te/rf or nazi rhetoric simply by reading it, you may need to grapple with the fact that you agreed with it before you read it, you just didn’t realize it was te/rf/nazi rhetoric.
“Why would you keep tabs on a group of people hell bent on genocide?” is the most self answering question I’ve ever seen
When we admit people to the hospital, we ask if they have any particular anxieties, concerns, or fears they want us to know, and most people say no or they’ll say something related to their disease process or some logistics about being admitted. But one guy said he was worried about the ghosts of people who died in the hospital. I don’t know how actionable that is, but by god do I respect it as an answer
it’s also. frankly. an extremely funny thing to see written in a patient’s chart.
