No One Deserves To Be Told Their Feelings Aren't Valid

Finally can post these babies on here! I’m getting attached, so I really tried to do them justice for Rick Riordan’s website. 

PS: I’ve got so many questions asking why Alex Fierro wasn’t drawn yet, but I still have a few chapters from the first book to finish, so! Just haven’t met this character yet;) 

Hey!

I'm trying to write a book and I want to have LGBTQ+ characters though I myself am not LGBTQ+. I was wondering in any LGBTQ+ people who feel comfortable in sharing some of their experiences with me to help me in giving accurate representation of these people. Also If anyone has any tips for aspiring authors, I would greatly appreciate it! Any response would be extremely helpful.

If you publicly and unreservedly condemn the actions of Nazis in Charlottesville and elsewhere, including everything from quiet hate speech to vehicular terrorism, can you please reblog this post.

I think a few friends, a few followers, every Jew who happens across this post and my own heart could do with knowing that there are more of you out there than there are of them

lets get this bread? no let’s snatch this sufganiyot

Ok!

Newfoundland and Labador, Prince Edwards Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Scaskatuwan, Alberta and British Colombia

And the 3 territories are:

Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunuat

Sorry if I spelled anything wrong.

AMERICANS: name every single canadian province

y'all antisemitic fuckers boycotting wonder woman because gal is “anti-Palestine” because she was in the IDF, y'know a mandatory thing for israelis, and which she was 110% non-combat, and when in reality the only statement she’s made that’s ever used against her is one where she explicitly says she’s pro-peace and against Hamas, aka the terrorist organization that has the ultimate goal of ridding the middle east of all jews.

Antisemitism IS oppression.

Some things that make me feel unsafe in public

- being asked if I’m Jewish because of the way my hair looks - being interrogated about my personal political beliefs because I am identifiably Jewish - being expected to denounce and apologize for Israel every time I want to be Jewish in public - being told “I don’t hate Jews, but I’m pro-Palestine” in response to my Jewishness - being told I’m going to hell for being Jewish - non-Jews dictating to me what does and does not constitute antisemitism - people who are not me and who don’t look like me engaging in endless debate about what “race” I belong to - white supremacists telling me that I “control the world” and “should go back to Germany” while folks on the left tell me I benefit from white supremacy - having to make a choice between queerness and Judaism

Noticeably absent from this list: - seeing others’ religious symbols on display in public
