Links & Things

Figured I’d sit down and make one of these, get all my stuff worth looking at in one spot. I’ll update as needed! Last updated: July 11, 2021

Note: I don’t write fanfic of my own volition much these days, but I’m always open to suggestions, so please feel free to drop in my inbox with an idea or message me. This goes for “monster” and those type ideas as well, anything really.

Another Note: all asks and posts of mine are able to be reblogged unless I tag them “pls don’t” so feel free. I talk about my experiences so people will know and for my own benefit, so I don’t mind if they’re shared.

Clone Wars Fic!

Prodigal Son - a post Order 66 what if featuring Wolffe and Plo

General Turboslut - a fun (in progress) codywan series about Obi-Wan trying (and failing) to flirt with Cody

The fan and the flame - assorted sasuhina drabbles

Other relevant links:

Here is a handy link that will take you to a carrd that does a great job of explaining all about the #unwhitewashtbb tag and what it’s about. If you click through the entire carrd, you’ll find a wealth of information on several problematic aspects of The Bad Batch series (and Star Wars in general imo). Give it a read!

An article from Texas Observer (great resource imo!) about what TxDOT mostly spends their budget on and what it’d be like if we simply tore up all the highways in Texas.

Books I’m reading/have read:

I thought I would add this as a fun thing. Most of the links are (unfortunately) Amazon, but I’m certain all these can be found in your local bookstore or requested through your library. When I’m able, I’ll link to alternate sites!

The Fall of the House of Dixie by Bruce Levine

The War before the War, Fugitive Slaves and the Struggle for America’s Soul from the Revolution to the Civil War by Andrew Delbanco

“All political power is at best a necessary evil: but it is least evil when its sanctions are most modest and commonplace, when it claims no more than to be useful or convenient and sets itself strictly limited objectives. […] The higher the pretensions of our rulers are, the more meddlesome and impertinent their rule is likely to be and the more the thing in whose name they rule will be defiled.”

The nuns who took care of the building are thrilled that skaters saved the church. They even let the skaters push them around on the skateboards.

This one is in St. Louis, but there is ANOTHER church-turned-skate park in Spain. The one in Spain is called Kaos Temple which is kinda boring, but the one pictured above was formerly called St. Liborius and is now called  Sk8 Liborius which is hilarious and clever.

Sk8 Liborius on the left, Kaos Temple on the right

Also, the aforementioned nun on a skateboard:

"About five or six years ago a group of five nuns just showed up at the church one day. We were having a skate session and a volunteer work day at the time. They heard about what we were doing with the old Saint Liborius Church and they wanted to come down and see it for themselves. At first, when a group of nuns randomly walked in we were a little nervous. So we started to tell them about our project and our plans for the building. We didn’t really need to though. They got it right away. I remember one of the nuns started crying and hugged us. She said that this building had been very important to her in her life. She thanked us for saving it from destruction and transforming it into a place for kids. They told us that we were doing the Lords work. When I joked that none of the founding members of the project are Catholic and I’m Jewish they said that there is a big difference between just being a Catholic and acting Christlike. We held their hands and rolled them around on skateboards. They hung out with us for hours." — From the Sk8 Liborius instagram :')

[Image ID: A two tweet thread by @sunnydaejones that reads,

White women, a privilege you've probably never thought of: White boys and men commit most mass shootings. Notice how there's nobody asking you how you raise your kids. There's no nonprofit results blaming you for societal problems. Black mom's don't get that luxury.

For 60 YEARS...the U.S has blamed black moms for everything their kids do or don't do. "It starts at home". Meanwhile it's like 18 year old mass shooters just...appear out of thin air. Nobody is asking yall "where is that childs momma?" And it SHOWS.
