Yay, Taylor Swift secret! It makes me happy that you enjoyed her last four albums, OP. That was a lot to catch up on, and also quite a smorgasbord of different vibes.

Do you have any clear faves from her recent albums yet?

And oh boy, I feel your pain with the whole assigning TS songs to your faves, thing. I do it too, and then I get minorly sad that I can't share my TS fandom-related feels with anyone because anyone who isn't a fan will just not be into it.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah! that's great, OP. I also love her two most recent albums

[(Anonymous)]

Style’s about my fave. The ‘long hair slicked back, white T-shirt’ line fits him so well.

That and the fact that I can’t quit him. Bumhole…

[(Anonymous)]

Er, Taylor Swift was BORN in 1989. Typo, OP?

tracks with how JKR's world is racist and classist

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, Hagrid being a good teacher wouldn't make sense within JKR's system of values and tropes, his character wouldn't fit into his archetype that way

[(Anonymous)]

The only other giant we meet, the giantess, is not a bad teacher and is definitely not 'stupid'. And Hagrid isn't stupid. He's bumbling and absent minded but he's also one of the kindest characters in the book. He is easily led astray, but then we get enough background to understand he probably has abandonment issues. Tbh, he's just a really good character, as are most of the characters in H.

His brother was mentally sub-par, but the other giants were targeting him because of that.

[(Anonymous)]

Nobody thought the books said anything bad about giants until hating JK Rowling became trendy. This take is full of projection.

[(Anonymous)]

given how she's also been voicing her recent opinions on 'mentally disabled' people, I'm becoming less and less surprised.

Seems like people are confusing him with Lucifer (of the TV series Lucifer, not a different fictional version or even the actual Lucifer) who does that a lot

[tabaqui]

I thought he wore sunglasses to hide that fact that his eyes are not human eyes, rather than because he doesn't like them. I never got that impression from the book....

Japan really does have a weird world view when it comes to WW2. They just seem to see the Hugo Boss uniforms and not the horrific systemic slaughter. The Japanese school system needs reform.

Maybe because Riker is perfectly fine to be told no and respects that? He was friends with Deanna for years after their breakup with no idea they'd get back together. A lot of promiscuous male characters are kind of aggressive and pushy.

I maintain that the most fun I've had with pairings, romantic or platonic, has been the crack ones. I have a special place in my heart for an impossible SPN ship that my friend and I managed to RP into something adorable.

It worked for her character in Homeland, but otherwise, I kind of agree.

Talking about Internet connections yesterday....

I wonder if anyone here might qualify for this?

"As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households $30 per month off their internet bills. To deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers to offer ACP-eligible households a high-speed internet plan for no more than $30 per month. Eligible families who pair their ACP benefit with one of these plans can receive high-speed internet at no cost."
