How we can escape the vicious circle racism?

Every time someone complains about urine or feces on the streets of San Francisco, a deep, seething rage bubbles up inside of me, I swear to God. I don’t know how it is finding bathrooms in other major cities, but in San Francisco? Impossible.

And it makes me so fucking angry because it’s just class warfare, plain and simple.

Class warfare and ableism. Diabetics and many other people need frequent access to toilets even if they are middle or upper class. I used to have a lengthy commute in Philadelphia that was always a problem because I needed to pee less than an hour after peeing, around the time of day that I had to go home – my body would take that time to start dumping water – but my commute was usually an hour and nowhere along the route had public bathrooms.

This is grim.

ALSO WHAT IS THIS

LAST I HEARD GALADRIEL HAD GONE OVER THE MISTY MOUNTAINS TO FOUND LOTHLORIEN BECAUSE OF QUARRELING WITH CELEBRIMBOR OVER EREGION

AND CELEBRIMBOR AND THE DWARVES OF KHAZAD-DÛM HAD AN EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP (looks pointedly at Narvi and a literally friendly door) WHETHER ELROND WAS A PART OF THAT IS DEBATABLE GIVEN ANNATAR BUT STILL-

It gets worse

*snorts into my fourth glass of dorwinion*

Oh it just keeps getting worse and worse huh

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien CBE FRSL did not spend literal decades of his life painstakingly creating and writing out the whole-ass history of the War of the Ring and all the places, people, and events preceding, surrounding, and following it for a bunch of edgelord motherfuckers at Amazon Prime to turn around and do him like this.

Cast it into the fire.

Hey, LOTR fandom, have you considered that if the adaptation is bad enough, you can just disown it outright and let it sink like a stone?

Love,

Pratchett Fandom

Not to prejudge but this suggests they’ve moved away from myth and gone with mythfire.

When people don’t understand a kind of love, they try to suppress it. But this is our battle and even we deserve a happy ending.
