SPN Holy Day of Obligation! Or, I CAN NOT believe that it's Thursday again ALREADY!
Where does the time go?
And now, a question from our readers:
Q: Well, that's great that you love Supernatural so much, Crystal. But what about what's going on your life?
A: Writing fic, reading fic, reading news and meta about... what? Oh. My life?
... I got nothin'.
I may be the tiniest bit obsessed.
*thinks desperately*
Okay. Dom is beginning to not take my moments of obsession personally. This is wonderful, and increases my enjoyment of obsessing by at least 30%.
Hmm... *tries again*
I've realized that if I could have constant access to the internet inside my brain, I'd appear to be hanging out and having a life with at least 25% more convincingness.
Um...
*hands*
Hey! Didya hear? New SPN tonight! *glees* |

After following all the explosions of ignorance/racism over the last month on LJ, I'm finally going to say something. I'll keep it short.
I'm a white girl. A VERY white girl. And being so, I was unaware of most of these problems until these discussions/arguments/debates began. I've followed them, silently reading and attempting to understand. I am the kind of girl who likes to have her finger on the pulse of things. I like to UNDERSTAND people, the connections people make, the ways they interact. All of this fascinates me. So it's no wonder I've been drawn in by these discussions. And let me tell you, I have been astounded by the ignorance I've seen displayed vocally by some with regard to these matters, and inspired by the grace with which others have dealt with them.
However, as I said before, I am white. I don't truly understand all the issues at hand, or what it's like to live with them. I CAN'T. Therefore, I feel I cannot speak to them. I remain silent because I KNOW this. But to those of us (like me) who live in privilege and don't truly understand what it's like to face prejudice on a daily basis, I do feel I can say ONE thing and perhaps hit close to truth.
Educate yourselves before you speak about racism, and if you can't do that? Apologize afterwards and THEN ask some freaking questions to better educate yourself, for [insertdeityhere]'s sake.
My heart goes out to all of you who are dealing with this ignorance. I mostly flail in helpless silence because I don't know enough to speak up confidently. But I do read, and follow, and care, and I try to learn the best I can. |
