Both had C. S. "If even a single person does not understand that the big lion is Jesus I will set myself on fire" Lewis as a professor. Between Susan Cooper and Elizabeth Marie Pope's The Perilous Gard, it's no wonder that I got a largely-useless degree in medieval literature and became obsessed with prehistoric Britain. (Fun fact: The Perilous Gard and Jones's Fire and Hemlock are both retellings of the Tam Lin story.

All right, I'll have the probation retracted. Just ... don't post unsourced hateful quotes. Dumb, angry, sure, whatever, but not the hateful stuff.

would that quote have been suitable material for the thread if it were in quote blocks? it does seem like the intensity of the racism outweighs the stupidity value

I 😊 will be live, defending myself with chat logs and audio files to prove my innocence, on 🔛 the Dick Masterson show 📺 this Sunday. I 😀 will not be reading 📘 replies to this or arguing with the internet 🌐 poison ☠ hate 😡 mob. I 😊 have 🈶 never had a chance to respond to a single 🇸🇮 accusation, and I 😀 will loving cover every drat thing 🐘 this Sunday. Feel free 🆓 to fill this thread 🧵 with baseless accusations that I 😊 beat women 🙆 or whatever the gently caress the internet 📶 mob thinks. 🤔 Bye

In a completely stunning move I 😊 absolutely could never have 🈶 predicted, the woman 👩‍🌾 accusing me of bullshit assault charges has been caught trying 🇹🇷 to illegally change ownership of SA's 🈂️ ad revenue from the site to her own personal name.

Wouldn't it be just really strange if a drunk 🍺 bipolar woman 👩‍🔬 who accused me of assault not only tried to secretly change the ad revenue account to her name, but then also proceeded to take over the official SA 🈂️🈂️🈂️ Facebook page? Despite not being 🇧🇪 employed or affiliated with SA 🈂️ in any way? ↕️ Weird, 👽 it's almost like 💖 there's an agenda here 📌 and has been from the very start.......

A toxx thread 🧵 where people 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 can bet 🎰 if I'm going to be found guilty or innocent. 😇 If I'm guilty, the bipolar alcoholic gets 🉐 the money. 💴 But on 🔛 the other hand, 🤲 when I'm found innocent 😇 and the case is dismissed, I 😊 get 🉐 the money. 💵

That will let you 😊 know it all motherfuckers put your money 💴 where your mouth 👅 is. This is the fucken best idea 💡 I've had in decades

oh, if you 😊 were one 1️⃣ of the unfortunately souls who happened to read 📕 that 100% cringe article on 🔛 SA 🈂️ where the author apologized to furries or whatever, please 🙏 accept 🉑 my sincere apologies. I 😀 obviously was not aware of its wretched existence.

I 😀 have 🈶 edited the article to make it "better," and again, please 🙏 accept 👍 my humble apology.

Re: JK Rowling's achievements in pushing the honourable ship of literature further than it was before.

Now we know she is a horrible TERF, and seems to want to devote this part of her life to hating on innocent trans people.

But I would argue if you can distance her books from that, (and I can understand if you can't), she actually did do some good.

She got kids reading, and excited about reading. As the series went on, the books got bigger and bigger, so she got kids to not be scared of big heavy long books. Hermione is a fairly decent, (for a kids book), female protagonist with agency, flaws, and a sort of arc. The big brush stroke themes of teh early books of "look, this guy is clearly the baddy, no wait, he is actually a secret goody with reasons you didn't know, and the guy you thought was a goody is actually the baddy", is an interesting twist for the 11-14yo who should be reading it. And probably some other stuff too.

I know none of this is groundbreaking, and there are probably 10 other authors who did all of that and more both better and before. Also, most importantly none of it justifies her inexplicable hate towards trans people. But the HP book series did do a lot of good for some kids

Lottery of Babylon and The Saddest Rhino are staples of the IOSM thread, especially when people start arguing when them. The only difference is they don't use pictures of posts and just paste them exactly. I trust their judgement

That would be a good way to identify them

People calling LoB "some SA troll" in the IoSM thread of all places. Disgraceful.

It's hateful... not as hateful as saying, for example, "die homo scum". Falls just short of that.

Its funny because someone out there thinks that giving POC 20 grand each and sending them off to homestead on the African continent is somehow a solution to American Racism.

drat right, both immeasurablely better writers than terfkrowling. Check out the hounds of the morrigan by pat o'shea for really excellent ya fiction for irish kids.

I love Susan Cooper so much, I nicked a Dark is Rising compilation from the school library when I was finishing primary school. I was the only one who read it (I still have that copy)

Chubby Henparty posted:

They made one, it was awful, just Hollywood trying to snap up licenses during potterhobbitmania.

Good call on hounds of the morrigan, I remember reading that and I'm sure at least one more series steeped in celtic folklore with a returned merlin with a funny name (except it was post apocalyptic and the hero kid controls the weather?)

Preaching to the choir here but it never raises eyebrows for those supposed feminists that they’ve essentialized being a “real” woman” to having ovaries, bearing children, and shaving your body hair. Nor do they seem to care about cis women being kicked out of bathrooms for having shaved heads or something.
