there's some loving guy who keeps getting invited even though he's not related to the family at all and last year he went on some rant about how all muslims are trained from birth to kill americans and christians and it's totally true because rush limbaugh had some muslim lady who spilled the beans on his show

dude was 100% legit about the whole story too

my grandmother is kind of racist in an old-person way, but i'm 1/4 romani and since i started learning more about it and telling her stuff, she's been saying "romanies" instead of "gypsies" and when her racist-old-person friends make antiziganist remarks she gets stern with them :3: i mean obviously it's just a drop in the ocean of racist old people but she's trying so hard

she's also fairly jewish (being jewish is not binary, there are good ones and bad ones and technical ones and really terrible ones like my grandmother) and a few years ago she got all guilty because a friend, who is also jewish, hadn't been invited to her family's christmas dinner (:psyduck:) so she invited her over to our family gathering. we're also fairly catholic because the men in our family just gently caress everything with legs and things escalate quickly, so we basically celebrate everything. christmas day comes along and there are all these jews getting drunk to hell on the verandah, eating prawns (:psyduck:) and talking about Hitler (...:psyduck:). seriously we ate prawns and drank champagne and talked about Hitler for like six hours and it was fantastic.

i really like my family

My grandma is racist in a "constantly referring to your Asian boyfriend of three years as your 'friend'" sort of way. It's very subtle, but it's there. At least the rest of my family is okay.

lots of people have terrible grandmothers so i try not to be smug about mine but she's just so great i can't help it :3:

she randomly oscillates between religions, a few years ago she got all teary watching crucifixion enactments on tv the night before easter and decided she was going to go to dawn mass the next day for the first time in her whole life, but then we stayed up until 4am drinking champagne and didn't get out of bed until the next afternoon so she missed it and was too hungover to go to the evening one

also i was looking in her freezer once and i found a box of kosher imitation bacon bits right next to a box of actual bacon

anyway that's enough about my grandmother, you can all go back to talking about your southern gothic nightmare families

My grandmothers both died before I was a pre-teen but from what I've been told my Grandma on my mother's side was awesome. :smith:

my family's tiny and rad mostly, when we get together we eat all the cakes in the world and get drunk and play uno for stupid prizes

grandad's a manipulative racist nightmare but since mum and auntie figured him out and he's gotten a bit senile it's mostly just kind of amusing, they get together and compare notes on what kind of ridiculous family drama he's unsuccessfully trying to start this week

also, supes jealous of puppies

i have a loving fantastic mum and a cousin who is like a big sister (and her husband rules and her baby daughter is going to be the best disciple ever), so i figure i'd be totally hosed if i didn't have them and lots of people don't so the rest of my batshit family gets cancelled out. swings & roundabouts imo, i wouldn't give up my mum and cousin for anything

i'm making the baby a book of my favourite poetry with illustrations, she's 18 months old now and i figure i'll have it finished by the time she's 3 which is like the perfect age to get a little kid hooked on gloria anzaldua and walt whitman and william blake. after i finish the poetry book i'm gonna make her a colouring book with works of art like happy tears by lichtenstein and ancient hieroglyphs and stuff, which she'll get when she's about five and can actually colour rather than scribble :3:

omg when i was a kid i had this loving epic pink my little pony rara skirt with lace and prancing ponies, it was the best thing ever. i wore that poo poo until it was shamefully raggedy. also i had smurf curtains for some reason, and i had this awesome pirate ship lego set. did anyone else have those little plywood 3d dinosaur skeleton puzzles? i loving adored those, my mum got them for my brother and me because we went to this insane baptist school which tried to teach us that dinosaurs were an atheist plot, so when we told her she yanked us out of school and drove us three hours up to sydney to go to the museum to see dinosaur bones and fossils to prove that they were real :3: best loving mum ever

i'm loving stubborn as hell and i have poo poo TO PROVE so i sat with those stupid puzzles until they got done, then glued the joints together to forever establish my dominance over plywood dinosaur puzzles

also i used to steal my mum's magazines and spell-check them, and every line without a misspelled word got a tick next to it and typos got scribbled out

which makes sense because my self-worth was always based on being clever in a town where clever girls were demonised but with a mother who cherished my intelligence, and so proving how clever i was was an exercise in self-reliance and grandiosity

studying child psychology is possibly the best and worst thing i've ever done

I always felt bad for my li'l bro because I could play with his toys and nobody cared, but if he so much as glanced at a barbie my dad was all "NO STOP YOU'LL BE GAY" which is weird because normally my dad is chill as hell, he was just really really convinced that if my bro touched my toys he'd start suckin dick a second later

that's poo :(
apparently when we were very little i bossed my big brother around something fierce and made him play all my games and he was bang into it. i used my stuffed monkey emma as a kind of avatar, and all my bossy instincts were channeled through her with a funny voice. then when he started going to school stuff changed because he was in this really patriarchal environment where Girls Are Rubbish, and our parent's marriage had always been adversarial and abusive, so we got into this pattern of him being dad's lieutenant and me being mum's. we stopped playing gender-neutral games after that, he started teasing me for girly stuff, etc. our relationship is pretty bad now, we're estranged at the moment. anyway, EN. my point is that gender essentialism in young kids can have some pretty disastrous results, especially if it coincides with fractured or seriously disfunctional family structures like mine. my bro used to have a ken doll and we would play ken and barbie go on adventures and then when he started school it just stopped. i often wonder if he'd told his school chums about all the fun he has with his little sister and they teased him for it
