Her story....
I based her story off how women had been treated during the time black and white cartoons were airing. As well as how women in cosplay are treated. While Jax did not experience sexual abuse, she did get unwanted gross comments and looks.
Jax loved art. Loved making cartoons most of all. She loved how she even looked like a cartoon, and took pride in how many players called her "the cutest". This got her many eyerolls from the other bosses.
One day, Jax's room was invaded by a large group of male players, and was attacked. She screamed and begged them to stop, but they laughed at her. And she snapped.
As a result of this event she doesn't want anything to do with men. Out of pure rage for the most part. Because of her new appearance, can't even take being seen by anyone- she feels they took her beauty from her, something she had often took pride in. Without it, she can't bring herself to face anyone.
No one heard her. No one helped.
She got her chains some time after the event, which didn't help her appearance in her opinion.

“My sister, Elia, married Rhaegar Targaryen and became the princess she already was. In Dorne, she walked among vipers and none would bite her. In Kings Landing, she found herself surrounded by lions. When Robert Baratheon rebelled against his rightful king, his future father-in-law, Tywin Lannister, ordered his beast Gregor Clegane to rape and murder my sister along with her helpless children. And men called the Lannisters heroes..”

This is not a typical post. This blog is not about current affairs, but one of the reasons why I started it is to celebrate and center the creations and lives of women across the Balkans, as well as other stories about people's everyday lives that remain on the sidelines of the standard history curriculum. I cannot, in good conscience, post about the lives of women in the past while ignoring what's going on with women's lives in the present.
A teenager suffered several severe wounds at the hands of her older ex-boyfriend in Bulgaria. If you want the gory details of what happened, they are described in the article. The court, on hearing the case, decided that the injuries were "light" and declined to detain the man. People are out on the streets, demanding justice.
This is one of many similar cases affecting women across the Balkans. It is a systemic problem, one rooted deep into our societies and institutions, and often one that people feel powerless to change. But every little step helps - every little fight. Each one of us can help, regardless of gender and political affiliation, be it by voting, protesting, leveraging social stigma against the perpetrators and their supporters, challenging the men (and women) around us who blame victims and believe in the idea that the role of the woman is to be "naturally subservient", or donating to and supporting services for victims where the state fails to do its job.
This case is one of many similar cases affecting women across the Balkans. It is our job to ensure that this is one of the last.

snape as an incel . . .
has so much potential! i want to write an AU where he's an incel who's obsessed with lily, but due to his egregiously poor hygiene, she can barely sit next to his stinky ass.
he's on voldemort's incel forum—nobody knows he's secretly hot, it'll be his downfall—as this awkward teenage boy, getting groomed by the older guys to do cringey shit.
maybe snape starts building up a plan for how he's going to sabotage lily's life. perhaps kill her as punishment for slighting him? that seems pretty on brand to me but could get a little extreme.
i dunno, food for thought. i might sprint this.

My friend is in danger of being deported to Bahrain if she cannot cover her legal fees for her refugee status hearing. If she is deported she will almost certainly be harmed or even killed by her family, who have discovered that she no longer practices Islam and is an atheist.
Please donate if you can and please share.

Would you recommend archers tale?
I'm enjoying it so far. I've read a few of Cornwell's books, and I generally enjoy them. My main complaint is that he is too casual about describing rape and other miseries of war, but I can't necessarily fault his accuracy in including those things. I'd avoid his books if graphic descriptions of physical and sexual violence are upsetting to you.

But if she would have pulled a gun out and shot that nigga dead in the middle of the street yall would be crying. Black women and Black people of marginalized genders in general are just expected to bear the weight of cishet Black men's violence in silence because we both Black and it's like...for what? You threaten us with taking away your "protection" if we speak out about the way you treat us but when it comes time to actually protect us you stand there and twiddle your fucking thumbs! I hope the next cishet nigga that raises his hand to harm a Black woman gets beaten within an inch of his life tbh!!!!!!

TW: violence against children, violence against women, USA police and government and courts tempting despair with their lack of concern for people
So I’ve been taking this Law and Ethics course and holy shit I thought I could never be more appalled by the American government and judicial system, yet here I am. Gonna start sharing little “fun” tidbits of what I’ve learned just so I don’t have to bear the mental burden of knowing this insane shit all on my own, and with the hope that somebody somewhere finds it useful.
First, did anybody here know that the Supreme Court, back in 1983, literally ruled that restraining orders are just meaningless pieces of paper? I mean, maybe you knew that in practice already, but did you know it’s actually established LAW that they don’t matter?
In 1983, the SCOTUS oversaw Castle Rock v Gonzales, an absolutely horrific case wherein a woman had a restraining order in place against her abusive husband, but when he came to kidnap their children and she called the police, they actively chose to do nothing. When he murdered their children, she sued the police force for refusing to act. The SCOTUS responded to this by saying that the police did no wrong, as a restraining order doesn’t *require* action, apparently, it just *allows* for action if the police ~choose~ to act. The police have “discretion,” said the court, not to enforce a restraining order, even if the order itself specifically declares that it must be enforced. Lovely.
Anyway, that’s deeply upsetting. Wish I knew how to fix it, but unfortunately I don’t. Hoping to inspire someone smarter and more capable than I to… I don’t know. Think of something? At least hoping to leave people informed.
Source: Ch 3 and Ch 4 of Public Health Law and Ethics by Gostin. Also probably easy to find info about this case online anywhere if you Google the case name.

Today (October 4) is Canada's National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
Indigenous women and girls are at a disproportionate risk for violence. Indigenous women are women are over-represented among Canada’s murdered and missing women. (They are also disproportionately incarcerated and involved in the sex trade.) This is a significant, persistent, and deliberate pattern of systemic racial and sex-based human rights violations.
Because Canada is Canada, the government decided to do an inquiry report to look into this crisis that we already knew was a crisis. This report called Canada's MMIWG crisis "genocide." This is neither exaggeration nor understatement. 
Despite this report, and the concrete actions it listed that the government could take to address the MMIWG crisis, the Canadian government has taken only symbolic action to protect Indigenous women and girls nation-wide.
Because today is the day of action, here are some actions you can take.
First, educate yourself. Read the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Among the calls for justice in the report are eight actions all Canadians should take: "1. Denounce and speak out against violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. 2. Decolonize by learning the true history of Canada and Indigenous history in your local area. Learn about and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ history, cultures, pride, and diver- sity, acknowledging the land you live on and its importance to local Indigenous communities, both historically and today. 3. Develop knowledge and read the Final Report. Listen to the truths shared, and acknowl- edge the burden of these human and Indigenous rights violations, and how they impact Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people today. 4. Using what you have learned and some of the resources suggested, become a strong ally. Being a strong ally involves more than just tolerance; it means actively working to break down barriers and to support others in every relationship and encounter in which you participate. 5. Confront and speak out against racism, sexism, ignorance, homophobia, and transpho- bia, and teach or encourage others to do the same, wherever it occurs: in your home, in your workplace, or in social settings. 6. Protect, support, and promote the safety of women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people by acknowledging and respecting the value of every person and every community, as well as the right of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people to generate their own, self-determined solutions. 7. Create time and space for relationships based on respect as human beings, supporting and embracing differences with kindness, love, and respect. Learn about Indigenous principles of relationship specific to those Nations or communities in your local area and work, and put them into practice in all of your relationships with Indigenous Peoples. 8. Help hold all governments accountable to act on the Calls for Justice, and to implement them according to the important principles we set out."
If you are Canadian, please write to your elected officials and demand that they act on the report's Calls for Justice. (Amnesty International provides some templates for letter writing: 1, 2, 3, 4)
If you are not Canadian, I would encourage you to write to your government and call on them to take formal action against Canada to make our government take action to protect Indigenous women and girls. 
Please stop letting us get away with being 'the good guys' just because we're next to the States. The countless deaths and disappearances of Indigenous women and girls have not been enough to force Canadians to act. We need international backlash.
I encourage you to educate your friends and family on this issue. Too many Indigenous women and girls go without justice everyday.
(And because I know Tumblr is full of Americans and this isn't just a Canada problem, I'm linking this report on MMIWG in the US.)

My friend Fatima is currently trying to claim refugee status in Canada, but has hit obstacle after obstacle. If she is unable to claim refugee status, she could be deported back to Bahrain, where her life is almost certainly in danger.
If you would please sign and share, it would mean the world to me and to the many other people in Canada who love her.
Thank you so much in advance. 🙏🏻
"Fatima is a Bahraini born immigrant seeking refugee status here in Canada to escape persecution. She grew up in Bahrain in an extremely restrictive religious household. Forced to wear the hijab for most of her life, Fatima was forced into Islam from a young age. Day in and day out, she had to pray and act the part of a faithful muslim despite not believing in Islam. Her entire life growing up was restricted and controlled. This included who she saw, what she wore, and what she said.
Finally, at age 19, Fatima managed to immigrate to Canada to study. She spent five years studying at McMaster University, and graduated with a Bachelors of Liberal Arts in 2020. In Canada, Fatima found a sense of freedom she had never had in her home country. She was able to live without religious control and enjoy a secular life. She made many friends and has found a sense of community here.
Unfortunately, Fatima has been fighting to remain here with her friends and community. In 2021, her Post-Graduate Work Permit was rejected. Compounding this, her family from Bahrain found out about her secular lifestyle. This resulted in horrible harassment from her family, including threats against her life. They have also cut off all financial support in an attempt to blackmail her into returning to Bahrain. If Fatima is forced to return to Bahrain, she will no doubt face horrible persecution and be dragged unwillingly back to a faith she does not believe in. Most troubling of all, her life may be at risk.
In order to stay in Canada, Fatima has applied for refugee status. The office of immigration has been challenging her case, citing a number of small discrepancies as an excuse to keep her from receiving refugee status. This has only made this whole process more challenging, and means that Fatima faces deportation.
In 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith…diversity is our strength.” We only ask that the Canadian government live up to these words. Canada has fostered a reputation around the world of being a welcoming place for those fleeing persecution. It makes no sense that a woman fleeing for her life and liberty should be sent back to a hostile and dangerous environment. All we want is for Fatima to stay here, with her friends and partner, where she is safe to continue working and living life as she sees fit.
Please sign this petition demanding refugee status for Fatima!"
