I’m not in high school anymore, but my junior and senior years, I had this English teacher. He was fun and hilarious but he had one rule. Don’t sleep in class. So on the first day he told us, don’t sleep in class or he will come up to your desk and bang a rubber mallet on the underside of it to wake you up.
I fell asleep once. Only once. I sat in a desk by the teacher’s. I just liked it better cuz my eyes are terrible. I fell asleep, and I got this weird feeling like something was wrong, like ‘i left a candle burning’ wrong. So I opened my eyes and made direct eye contact with the teacher, who was about to hit my desk. His eyes got real big and to this day, he is still the only teacher I’ve ever heard say, “what the f*ck” in class.
This is not news, but it is an important read, especially for people who were previously unaware of the trend of neo-Nazis stealing pagan symbols for their own.
If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist pagan, keep doing what you are doing, you are keeping the fight alive
If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist person who is not a pagan, help us spread the word of this, stand in solidarity with us as we kick the fascists out of our communities
If you are a fascist pagan, fuck off, this faith is a peaceful one
No platforms for fascists.

Uh… there was absolutely no need to be rude in that message?
Why the fuck off? Sure they’re bigoted/racist/homophobic but they were polite and civil, why couldn’t it just have been said ‘we don’t have anyone to share your views, thank you for contacting us and bye’?
Shut the fuck up geek nobody needs to treat assholes politely
Abhorrent, vile bigotry wrapped in “ please and thank yous” isnt polite. Its disgusting.
Racist language is not civil. Ever. By definition. Try again.

i don’t think anyone fully understands how iconic of a film the princess diaries truly is. everything in that film is iconic. the apartment/firehouse. the scooters as a method of transportation. “get off the grass” in 4 languages. “please don’t crush my soy nuts.” the mustang. the weird neighbor who writes poetry. the m&ms on the keyboard and the pizza. “it’s a wango?” lily’s otter backpack. the whole paolo makeover sequence. every foot pop. stop me i could go on forever the princess diaries is so iconic it’s on the same level of iconography as star wars (1977)
White people with dreadlocks who scream “the Celts had locks” every time you get called out. Stop. Just stop.
I’m mixed race and a Celt so here I am to tell you that Celtic people do not traditionally wear locks. Any Celt in the Isles today could tell you that. Most Celts living in North America could tell you that. Most Creole people who are Celtic could tell you that.
Observe.
See this? This is called plaiting. It’s a type of braiding. THIS is the Celtic and Nordic style that ancient Romans mistook for dreadlocks because they were Colonial Imperialists who didn’t see or care about the differences between the cultures they were “conquering.”
If you are Celtic, Nordic or trying to emulate Celtic culture (which is a discussion for another day) and you have dreadlocks all that says to me is that you don’t care about or respect those differences either.
I apologize on behalf of Celts with locks and random white people with locks who try to make this excuse. I can only hope correcting them might make a bit of a difference.
^^^^
There were traditional matted hairstyles in Europe, but they were either temporary or extremely unhygienic because our hair doesn’t do that naturally the way Afro-textured hair does.
See also: Polish plaits, elf-locks (unhygenic examples), and gleebs (temporary example; gleebs were matted hairstyles for warriors in battle, covered with mud and worn loose or spiked, OR twists- not locks -worn by nobles and accented with colored yarn)
(also, Romans didn’t precisely mistake it for dreadlocks- they said the Celts had “hair like snakes” because they had long, often braided hair where Roman men wore theirs short. it’s modern white people looking for an excuse to wear locks who intentionally misinterpreted their words. no arguments from me on the imperialism thing, though)
