Just Had A Dream Where All I Did Was Try To Find A Herbo, A Himbo And A Theybo.

just had a dream where all i did was try to find a herbo, a himbo and a theybo.

i found all of them except the himbo 😔

its silly that we have BLM carrds going around, everyone was reblogging them months ago on the regular & u guys are still asking “what are we supposed to do if voting biden is bad” or whatever. like the answer was in those carrds, several of them provided books & pdfs, most of them were FREE for you to read. & you STILL didn’t do your homework.

stop reblogging headlines without reading the article. actually put in the effort to learn about how to be antiracist and how to organize & make a change within ur community. get in touch with local groups. if you don’t have any near you, take the time to learn, listen, & spread resources. research & criticize yourself. take it easy, but take it.

here are those resources again to get started:

ORGANIZING RESOURCES doc

Master List of Black Revolutionary Readings by Timmy Chau (free pdfs, some have been taken down but most are still up, you could try googling the ones that have been deleted. features text from stalin & gaddafi, who were antisemetic, please keep this in mind if you plan to read their works.)

Anti-racist Resource Guide by Tasha K. (books, podcasts, movies and more)

D e c o l o n i z e : Resources by Ari Sahagún and Jay Saper (also check out resource generation)

Antisemitism: a basic guide by @bishonen and @hotgirlkakashi

yes this is a lot to take in all at once. make small goals for yourself though, try reading at least two articles a day that interest you, etc. find out what works for you.

can’t believe i’m gonna be spending my 18th in lockdown mad :(

by having hera the goddess of marriage have a decades-long affair with her brother-in-law, it makes it pretty obvious that lore olympus is only very VERY loosely based on actual greek mythology. i wouldn’t even call it a modern retelling, it’s more of the author using the names of gods but they’re all her own characters. i dont think that’s a bad thing, it actually means that the story can go in any direction really and the story arc could get really interesting - although persephone and hades probably have to end up together at the end bc that seems to be the only detail smythe is keeping.

personally what i’d love to see is lore olympus showing when persephone and hades ultimately get together that they’re relationship really isn’t something to aspire to and that in some ways it’s even toxic. maybe it’ll work out maybe it won’t but it would be interesting to see. i very much doubt the story will go in this direction but still.

u ever think abt how in the letter hades wrote to persephone he said "i love the way u make me feel and i wanna feel that way forever" bc no one has ever treated hades w as much genuine kindness as persephone treats him with and just fucking cry.

Fucking hell if you don’t like the comic don’t read it

lol if this is abt my review then just bc i’m rlly critical abt some aspects of it doesn’t mean i won’t stop reading it. i’ve still got some hopes abt the direction lore olympus might take, so for better or for worse i’m invested
