The sheer RAGE I felt watching the video of this happening. Not one person stepped up to stop it. Men, who keep telling us they are our ‘protectors’, just sat there, many agreeing with what was going on. I know how Anne Frank would have fared with most of these people. 🤬

It was the FAFO of times. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

I've been inactive on here for a few weeks and missed sharing this when it first went live. Go give the most recent Athrabeth episode a listen. @aranelparmadil.bsky.social does a fantastic job breaking down feminist scholarship on Tolkien, past, present, and (hopefully) future!

The child is also a handy human shield against potential Luigis.

So, this was a really fun podcast to do! These two wonderful people asked me to come on and talk about the past, present, and (possible) future of feminist criticism and Tolkien's work. They had far more trouble getting me to stop talking than they had to get me to agree to come on 😂

It’s always really humbling when we have scholars like @aranelparmadil.bsky.social on our podcast but this was a real treat. Really excited for everyone to listen and enjoy this terrific episode.

This is an important post about a highly toxic individual who haunts Tolkien fandom spaces to gain access to women and female-presenting fans.

LONG POST - For those with larger audiences, a repost will be much appreciated to share with as many people as possible In June 2023 it was brought to my attention (and @drnosy.bsky.social ) that there was an individual stalking and harassing women across Tolkien Fandoms /1 #TROPSky #RingsofPower

Your regular reminder that trans people exist, and that trans rights are human rights. Trans folks will need allies - stand up and be one of them.

Some absolutely wonderful papers in these open-access conference proceedings, including my own paper on 'Our Flag Means Death'. Congratulations in particular to @queerlodgings.bsky.social for organising this great event. dc.swosu.edu/mythpro/

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power." And irony is dead right there.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

Pretty sure it's not up to women to "think carefully" about taking a higher-paid job than their partner. It's up to their partner to get the fuck over himself and be pleased for her.

We are trained to despair, to be furious, to blame the wrong people - the refugee, the trans, the single mother etc - imagine real balance in the media - where the percentage of coverage of those really making our lives worse was an accurate reflection of their actions and effect
