Ah, an image description for the tweet prompting the responses: [Image Description: A tweet by Rick Riordan with username camphalfblood, stating: "Here you go, random commenter. I fixed it for you! And thanks for your concern, but I am quite happy with my sales!"(Smiley face emoji) #allkidsdeserverepresentation He attached a photo of a comment from someone on one of his books with sections of their response highlighted, adding the commentary context he saw in it. The commenter's sentence says: "If you had less gender dysphoria in your 'kids books' you might sell more...remember, it is parents who buy them." The "kids" in "kids books" is underlined. With Rick Riordan's edits, the sentence reads as follows: "If you had zero acknowledgement that some kids are not straight and cisgender in your books that include marginalized people I don't want my children to know about until they are eighteen you might appease homophobic adults who think gender identity is contagious...remember, it is parents who model bigotry for their kids." // End ID]

[Image Description: A Drink of Water by Jeffery Harrison. "When my nineteen-year-old son turns on the kitchen tap/ and leans down over the sink and tilts his head sideways/ to drink directly from the stream of cool water,/ I think of my older brother, now almost ten years gone,/ who used to do the same thing at that age;/ And when he lifts his head back up and, satisfied,/ wipes the water dripping from his cheek/ with his shirtsleeve, it's the same casual gesture/ my brother used to make; and I don't tell him/ to use a glass, the way our father told my brother,/ because I like remembering my brother/ when he was young, decades before anything/ went wrong, and I like the way my son/ becomes a little more of my brother for a moment/ through this small habit born of a simple need,/ which, natural and unprompted, ties them together/ across the bounds of death, and across time.../ as if the clear stream flowed between two worlds/ and entered this one through the kitchen faucet,/ my son and brother drinking the same water. //End ID]

I don’t remember where this story was from but it was about how the writers older brother died when he was young and years later had a son who, had never met the brother had the same mannerisms as him. Ok I think I remember the key words were “my son drinks from the water fountain like my brother” or something

“My Grandfather speaks rapid Cantonese to me. He’s telling me what he wants from McDonalds. The kid behind the counter rolls his eyes at this. The woman behind us in line says “Speak English” under her breathe. The grip my Grandfather has on my arm tightens. My Grandfather can speak English. He can understand English. He can write English. But he came when he was in his twenties, and he has an accent that will never leave. And when he speaks English he hears- “How long have you been here?” “Can you repeat that again?” “I don’t understand you.” And it humiliates him. This man who left his family, who left his life to make a better one. The bravest man I know is embarrassed of his accent. And in McDonalds, the man who crossed the pacific in a freight boat with no papers and no one he knew in this country, bows his head in shame.”

— Gwai Lo (via tat-art)

#wishing this grandpa a very 'you're doing your best and I hope your family recognizes that' #and wishing the other folks berating him a very 'learn more languages and see how good you are at it assholes'

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are
