Are there any?
I dont think so…
I havent found any popular books with a black main character.
Not a friend. Not an enemy.
But a main character.
And its not listed under “black” literature.
And people…
I don’t really read sci-fi, but fantasy recs are welcome!
Swedish School Eliminates Gender →
inherhipstheresrevolutions:
boomvagynamite:
hoaxzine:
The preschool in Stockholm will eliminate gender specific pronouns, and refer to the children present as “friends” rather than “boys” or “girls.” Also on the chopping block? Fairy tales that further gender stereotypes, to be replaced with tales of families featuring gay and lesbian couples.
Oh Sweden! Swoon!

All clothing is clean, no scuffs, stains, or tears, and comes from a smoke/pet/kid-free home. Thank you!!

Point #6 in that Ancestry post
I didn’t want to add it on to the body of the post itself, because the main topic is immigration, and that’s not really what I’m about to ramble about exactly. I am not an immigrant. Also, I am a white person. And #6 vocalised something I’ve noticed a lot before. My Dad immigrated to England (from Ireland, so disclaimer: it’s not comparable to the rest of the points...

I literally woke up in a panic you guys. There was sweat.
I had freaked out an embarrassing amount when I realised last week that I won’t be here for the premiere of DH2, even though I wouldn’t have been able to see it first thing anyway. I only calmed down when my mum agreed she would book tickets for the nearest possible date to go see it (four days after, and I...

I wonder how breast cancer survivors who’s breasts are forever changed, or even removed, feel about seeing pornified boobs when they attempt to support a cause that has affected them so personally. I wonder how these women feel about saving second base… I wonder how we can condone a cancer awareness campaign that makes survivors and those still...

no, Archive of Our Own
i do not want to read Iago/Jafar fanfic

Omg, Archive of Our Own never fails to make me aware of the existence of fic that should not exist. For every fandom, ever. It’s basically where I go if I want to terror laugh at my screen.
