⚠ATTENTION THEATER KIDS⚠
or just anyone in general really
• it’s okay to like a certain cast more than the original
• it’s okay to only like one or two songs from a show and still like the show
• it’s okay if you don’t know all the words to every song
• it’s okay to like a song from the show, but not the whole show
• it’s okay to like the “basic” shows like Hamilton, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc.
you don’t have to be the “perfect” theater kid and like every aspect of a show to be a “true fan”
Altean Druid Lance. I was commissioned by @star-gazing-knight to draw up her stories’ version of Lance after he becomes a druid for Lotor… If you want to know the story, you can check it out here. She asked this be released about the same time as her chapter post today, so here it is!
I’m a Jew, so if I am not complaining at all times. I will die
So there’s an old Jewish superstition (not universally held among Jews; we’ve got astonishing diversity of superstition) about how it’s a bad omen to sew or mend an article of clothing while somebody else is wearing it. Why? Because it invokes the image of sewing a shroud, which is done while it’s on the corpse.
If you really do need to have someone mend a garment while you’re wearing it, then (so goes the superstition) in order to counter the bad omen, you should whistle or sing or chew something or talk, continuously, while the sewing is being done. Because those are things a dead person can’t do. So doing them breaks the ill-omened image of being a corpse, passive and unresponding while someone sews your shroud.
And I bring this up because sometimes I honestly feel like complaining at all times is our way of reassuring each other, and ourselves, that we aren’t dead.

Doxxing White Supremacists Is Making Them Terrified
GOOD
DESTROY THEIR LIVES
Let me be clear, as much as I want to just respond CRY MORE, BABIES I object to the use of the word ‘doxxing’ in this case.
I have BEEN doxxed. I have been stalked online. I have had people go through my journals and my pictures to try to identify me for malicious purposes. I have had people search me on court websites to try to find the charges I filed against an ex when he stole from me, for the purposes of trying to humiliate me about an online roleplaying game. (No, really.) I’ve had people try to match up pictures of the flowers outside my synagogue and the building in the background with pictures of synagogues in the Philly area to try to fuck with my life.
So I know the kind of gut-clenching, cold down the back of your neck, hands-shaking fear that comes with being doxxed. I do. It’s happened to me more than once. It will probably happen to me again, because I’m a loud fat queer femme Jewish disabled activist, and boy does that piss people off.
But let me be clear: I was existing as a person that someone else didn’t like in those cases. I was existing as queer, I was existing as ‘someone I don’t like on a game.’ I was not showing up in public, carrying a torch, and advocating for the massacre of millions of people. When you show up in public carrying a torch, you are not being doxxed.
You are being IDENTIFIED.
i feel like this articulates the difference between doxxing, which is a violation of someone’s online privacy, and identification, which is holding citizens accountable for their public actions. i don’t think doxxing is ever ‘okay so long as you do it to bad guys’, no matter how bad you think those guys are. you have to hold on to your principles even when you’re really, really mad.
but i am all for assholes who show up in public waving torches and advocating genocide without even putting on a fucking mask having to face some fucking consequences when someone says ‘hey, that’s richard from accounting’.
i’m just wondering what they thought was going to happen.
