A general tip for students who are sending those dreaded Religious Absence Emails to your professors: Rather than asking permission to take the day(s) off, politely let them know that you will be taking the day(s) off.

In other words, consider not saying this:

"May I miss class on [date] so I can observe [holiday]?"

It's not that there's anything wrong with the above, per se. But because it's phrased as a request, it risks coming across as optional — a favor you hope to be granted. Problem is, favors are not owed, and so unfortunately asking permission opens the door for the professor to respond "Thanks for asking. No, you may not. :)"

Instead, try something along the lines of:

"I will need to miss class on [date] because I will be observing [holiday]. I wanted to let you know of this conflict now, and to ask your assistance in making arrangements for making up whatever material I may miss as a result of this absence."

This is pretty formal language (naturally, you can and should tweak it to sound more like your voice). But the important piece is that, while still being respectful, it shifts the focus of the discussion so that the question becomes not "Is it okay for me to observe my religion?", but rather, "How can we best accommodate my observance?"

Because the first question should not be up for debate: freedom of religion is a right, not a favor. And the second question is the subject you need to discuss.

(Ideally, do this after you've looked up your school's policy on religious absences, so you know what you're working within and that religious discrimination is illegal. Just in case your professor forgot.)

#this strategy got me through all of college #and some professors were a lot more supportive than others but no one ever told me no #because i didn't give them the chance #jumblr #judaism #religious absences #relevant to other minority religions as well #as well as non-religious accommodations #and non-school settings #dandelion says #jewish dandelion #note: the policy/legality details will vary depending on where you live and go to school #when i talk about religious discrimination laws this is based on public universities in the us

The worst thing about being a Roy Harper fan is sometimes Tumblr gives you "because you follow Arsenal" and it's the football team

#I'm english #but i couldn't give a shit about football #roy harper #arsenal #anyway i wanna see John Constantine taking the piss out of roy for naming himself after a football team #google results vary between him supporting crystal palace and liverpool #but it's probably not arsenal #so it'd be funny to see him being like #'you could've at least named yourself after a good one!'

[crescentfool]

does anyone else want to stick these two in the same room together or is that just me... i simply think they are adjacent in vibes... (+a bonus thing???)

get u a fictional guy that makes you feel like this... seeing these guys just evoke a Similar Kind of Brain Chemical and Response. Help Me.

also have bonus yosuke doodle featuring the same brushes used here...! from january 23rd, lol.

#fe3h #sylvain jose gautier #persona 4 #yosuke hanamura #crossover #lizzy does art #umm... hi.... (looks away) this is cringe but i am free. what is life if not to draw your favorite characters together on the same canvas #for the record i do not intend to conflate these two as the same character because they are NOT #'lizz. what on EARTH do you see in these guys.' you know. i wish i could answer that. (actually. i can.) #experiencing both of these characters sent me into an absolute spiral of denial when i realized that i enjoyed them #Words Hard but Basically i think its fascinating how both sylvain and yosuke have like this happier front that they project outwards that- #masks the struggles that they don't want others to see... and while both of them do cringe shit thats incredibly stupid #both of these characters have shown themselves to have like?? actual braincells? (re: yosuke at the start of p4 + sylvain support convos) #granted the kinds of themes and messages each of them is meant to convey varies bc of the setting and stories they are in #the sylvain + yosuke pipeline.... oh also i think the fandoms tend to rationalize both of their behavior towards women as like. #a closeted bi case. it's kinda strange to me why they overlap in certain ways hm hm... #but its just so funny to me that like. idk. they're both unbearable. they irritating for a reason /s #i should really draw these two more often (in like separate illusts) they are so fun i love their color schemes and designs it sparks joy #ok ok god i had a lot more to say about that than i thought oops. um. yeah. i learned how to draw for stuff like this. worth itTM

This is the only place where I know other trans people are in my life right now in a multitude, and I really need some gender affirming messages and support. I found out a family member I was starting to get closer to is transphobic, and it was quite traumatic for me. If any fellow pagan transfolk (or transfolk in general) could reach out through asks or whatnot, it would mean the literal world to me right now. Thank y'all, I appreciate y'all. Take care, everyone.

Ey doc, can you replace my spine with something more flexible? I think being able to curl up like a cat would do great for me.

i am going to mess with your center of gravity and posture and gait so much, i hope you are as excited about it as i am!!

#in humans legs are generally longer than arms but usually not by any excessive amount #and your spine gives your whole body support as well as protects your spinal cord among other things #the effects of altering these will vary by how much theyre altered #but lets have some fun with it hm? #the doc is in #replies from the void

Literally why aren’t bisexuals just allowed to be bisexual. You’re in a “straight” relationship and suddenly your entire relationship is called into question, you’re a default cheater apparently, you’re gross and icky and tainted from past relationships, you don’t face the same homophobia in society somehow bc you aren’t a *real 100%* queer. Bi women are fetishized and abused and bi men are tossed aside and forgotten or completely misidentified based on any perceived deviation from gender roles. Your entire identity is actually transphobic bc bi means two and how dare you not accommodate nb people when the identity LITERALLY ALWAYS HAS. Shut up AHUT UP.

#reblogs off bc I’ll delete this later but ugh!! ARGGGHH!!! #like it stings bc a lot of this comes from within the community too. which is not unique bc lesbians and trans people and especially trans #women and people of color are all treated like this to varying degrees I don’t think I’m gods special oppressed princess #but it’s still so frustrating! read a manifesto be supportive of your neighbors! #ramblings #tbd

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly) #in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

People are always complaining about lighthearted lgbt media being for straight people which is ridiculous. But when a historical lgbt show comes out with an lgbt cast playing the main characters it's slept on. All the people bitching about Red White and Royal blue or Love Simon yet when Fellow Travelers came out where were yall?

#Fellow travelers #heartstopper #Lgbt experience varies and many pewho complain need to support lgbt actors as well as characters #Especially shows where the main audience is lgbt people and not straight people #Love Simon #Lgbt #Bisexual

#reblogs appreciated for reach :) #personally it varies depending on what i'm writing at the time but i personally go by a combo #specifically i like writing a big opening ceremony that allows for competitors to enter singing performances to gain crowd support #so engine of love and other character intro songs are part of a real performance but songs like MUMH are not #ANYWAYS I JUST WANNA KNOW #i suppose it's a silly poll because i expect most people will choose non-diegetic but i want to know what's out there #starlight express #stex #starex #poll
