Wakes up from a dead sleep

Degrassi is just Canada's Doctor Who.

Falls back asleep.

[degrassi-ship-war]

when i suggested i might do this on my main blog some of you expressed mild interest, so i've decided to give the people what they want and make a degrassi: the next generation character tournament.

i'm keeping this to opening credit tng characters (there will be two characters who aren't in the opening credits but whose presence looms so large that they had to be included anyway) because it was the only way i could make the math work, and also i thought it would be unfair to the degrassi junior high and degrassi high characters to set them against the tng kids. if this gains some traction and people are interested, maybe i'll do separate polls for the ogs and the next class kids (although many of them are featured in the tng polls as well) after we're done with the tng tournament.

i'm going to post the qualifying rounds later today. they'll consist of sixteen groups of five. i made the lists using a randomizer. the least voted character in each round will be disqualified, while the other four will move on to the main tournament. that way i'll narrow 80 main characters down to 64. i'll also be using these qualifiers to help seed the bracket. qualifying polls will be week-long.

this is the most math i've done willingly since high school so i hope you all appreciate the sacrifices i'm making here.

I’m actually serious about this, if at all possible, right now is a very good time to request queer books from your local library. Whether they get them or not is not in your control, but it is so important to show that there is a desire for queer books. I will also say getting more queer books in libraries and supporting queer authors are pretty fantastic byproducts of any action.

This isn’t something everyone can do, but please do see if you are one of the people who has the privilege to engage in this form of activism, and if you are, leverage that privilege for all you’re worth.

For anyone who can’t think of a queer book to request, here is a little list of some queer books that I think are underrated and might not be in circulation even at larger libraries:

marrymedegrassi:

preach.

Exactly and some people love different eras of Degrassi and that's okay like for me I'm obviously going to have Eclare's era as my favourite gen because I can relate more to the characters in that era age wise I would've been the same age as them especially.more with class of 13/14 I have more of an emotional connection Clare, Alli, Fiona, Eli, Adam, Marisol, Dave, Connor, Jenna etc are in my favourite characters so of course I'm going to lean more with those seasons.

People who older with me who grew up with Liberty, Manny, Emma, Hazel, Spinner, Paige etc obviously going to be more connected with that class however doesn't mean later seasons suck each generation has good and bad moments.

I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself Part 2

“Despite what my dad thinks, I deserve to have a little fun now and then.”

[librarycards]

hello!!! I've been trying to accept for myself the idea of bodymind and was wondering if you had any recommended reading on the subject? this is worded strangely I'm sorry I'm sleepy. thanks!!!

I do! <3 here are some for free online:

Begin with Margaret Price's classic paper which popularized the bodymind as core to critical disability studies, The Bodymind Problem and the Possibilities of Pain.

AND the paper it cites heavily, Rosemarie Garland-Thompson's Misfits: A Materialist Feminist Disability Concept.

I also wrote pretty recently about this in my essay, The Beholding and Beheld!

There's two modern classics, In Defense of De-Persons and Sick Woman Theory, both by the incomparable Johanna Hedva.

J. Logan Smilges (one of my mentors!)'s amazing article Traumasex: A Queercrip Erotic.

I feel like I'm constantly recommending Mel Baggs's oeuvre....because I am. Here's a good blog post of hirs to start with regarding the bodymind interface.

Some books to look at include:

Eli Clare, Exile & Pride and Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling With Cure.

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha: Bodymap and Dirty River.

Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals.

Stacey Waite, Love Poem to Androgyny and The Lake Has No Saint.

Adam Dickinson, Anatomic.

Hope these help get you started!
