I feel like a lot of European/Anglo American critical race theory breaks down when you enter Latin America or other prominently "mixed-race" territories. Racism is still very real, of course, and it's worth addressing, but the kind of analysis we have imported from those countries falls short, because it relies on a clear-cut distinction between races that does not exist here to the same degree. We cannot speak of a white majority in Mexico, for example. Some people that would be considered "black" in the US (like my grandfather, or even my mother) do not see themselves as such. People that would be considered indigenous (like my great-grandmother, or my grandma), do not recognize this as their heritage. The national identity often takes precedence over the racial or ethnic one. Yet racism still exists. How do we analyse it? And how do we analyse the relationship of these people with defined white ethnic groups in other countries? When people are asked to mark a box with their race in polls and surveys, and stare at it confused because none of the options given apply? What do we do with people that identify as American because they were born in the CONTINENT of America, that feel alienated when US Americans use the term solely for themselves? And can we blame them for that, when it's the only term they have ever had? Those who feel alienated because they don't fit cleanly, that do not conform to Anglo American racial analysis? The people that doesn't have a language to describe their oppression, and the options given by academia feel just as patronizing?

"Thanatos is a not-for-profit, scholarly, open access, multi-disciplinary online journal published twice a year by the Finnish Death Studies Association (FDSA). Thanatos consists of original peer-reviewed research articles, research reports, book reviews, columns, seminar reports, and other texts such as poems, comments and editorials. The primary publication language is Finnish, but we accept manuscripts also in Swedish and English.

Thanatos aspires to advance dialogue between scholars and professionals, and to broaden discussions about death and dying that cross traditional scientific boundaries. The primary target audience of Thanatos consists of researchers and practitioners working in fields related to death, dying, and bereavement."

Got to this in a roundabout way starting with an article about an M. R. James story, but here's something that some of you might be interested in skimming.

Friend, never ever apologize for finding ways to help chase away The Horrors. If I share writing positivity, and you can apply it to your artwork, you do that. You take it and you build yourself the shrine you deserve.

Also, your art is phenomenal. We are here to support one another. <3

You ever just receive an ask that is... SO nice and good and you just cant think of a good response? Yeah that's me 24/7.

i give you my hot take on who works at some of our grimetown locations

slimeball starbucks - bakugou manager (keeps these hoes in check by being a mean cunt to all), denki (the fuckboy that has his number written on all the cups), dabi (the only fans starbucks content producer), shiggy (shift supervisor, cleaning duty man that dusts everything on accident), and sasuke (emo rival of dabi, music producer on the side, wooes the ladies by bringing his guitar to work)

grimetown pet clinic - power (only takes care of the cats, very sus whenever blood transfusion is necessary for the animals and yes i googles it pets can also have blood transfusion), naruto (only takes care of dogs, has tested the pet meds on himself), and mirio (he also offers pet walking services or pet babysitting services but also has a 70% pet losing rate)

butt metropolis (the strip club) - strip clib owner sukuna (known for tax evasion and rarely passing inspections of the strip joint, overprices the alcohol that he dilutes), male stripper gojo (bachlorette party most wanted stripper, marriage sabotage specialist), bouncer todo (tall women enjoyer, men who cannot state their exact taste in women aren't allowed in), strippers sakura (violent.) and makima (violent-er times 100 but people dig the "she can kill you" shtick)

slimeball ikea - kirishima (working at the loading dock and driving those lil fork lifts, always dressed like a lumberjack), iida (warehouse manager, sprinting up and down the isles on cocaine), momo (customer support, chewing bubble hum and filing her nails while pretending to give a fuck) and nobara (she just lays on the couches and gives fake ikea furniture names to the customers e.g. the bojrg bot 3000)

additonally, I would also like to propose (again)

crime syndicate massage parlour front - crime syndicate leader ochako (spoiled princess by day, fearless thug and con artist by night. she has at some point scammed every man in grimetown.), the right hand man izuku (right hand man to ochako and also known to only receive pelasure from his own right hand, scary vergin izuku), loan shark beam (do i need to explain this one?), and the massage parlour front employees tsuyu and mina

i know im in your inbox nearly daily, i am sorry, but grimetown has me in a chokehold :DDDDDDDDDDDD (and im most likely gonna join in when others come forth with more resident positions because it will set my brain in overdrive, im sorry im advance, this place gives me serotonin)

MOMO THIS IS ME EVERY TIME YOU SEND AN ASK

My least favorite part about knowing slightly above average about a subject is that you have to listen to an hour long presentation or read a whole book to get new information. And that vital information is often a five minute snippet, out of print, or behind a hundred dollar paywall.

The prospect of torturing you was a good enough reason for me.

he's staring resentfully at it. of course it's katerina again.

"My good friend. I brought you a gift, that I hope will lift your spirits. I was recommended this by another." And from a bag he produces a book. When presented, it reveals to be...

A joke book.

"Perhaps your family who is taking care of you would enjoy them as well? There is nothing better for trying times than a sense of humor."

An update for the Ask An Expert: Dog Trainer (@molosseraptor) webinar:

I'd like to thank Allie for the excellent presentation! She did such a good job balancing the content to appeal to both dog sport people and pet owners. I recognized so many concepts from FDSA courses but Allie explained everything so clearly and in such an interesting manner. 

Thank you to everyone who submitted/asked training questions. Without you, the discussion wouldn't have been as fun. I thought Allie's response to a question from an owner of a Border Collie used to herd cattle to be particularly insightful. 

I'll be sending out an email later this week to everyone who signed up for the webinar. The message will include a link to a recording of the session on YouTube, a list of resources mentioned in the session, and a text transcript. The video will have indexing/chapter marks to each question so that you can navigate directly to the question(s) of interest. I think making the information easier to access is important but it will take me a few days to put it all together.

hi mimi hi, how was your day? random question, I'm curious about how do you pick your men (or how they pick you, if you will 🤭)? like what qualities do they have that get to you, what moments are there that makes you go 'ohhhhh i'm so down bad' and stuff 💖

djfal;fdsa pls hiiii

i'm cheesy but like extreme kindness gets to me, empathy gets to me, determination gets to me, like i just love someone who takes being kind and altruistic to a ridiculous length because i sorta just strive to be that way? that and like especially people who like move both feet forward because there's nothing that's more me than thinking 20 moves ahead and having 10 backup plans before doing anything

i think shirking toxic masculinity in being comfortable with showing emotions because you're unwhoopable is so important to me??? and emotional intelligence just makes me sick (positive) to my stomach

that and also like being protective in general i have a huge thing about having a specific person or people they have a berserk button for! mainly probably because i've always felt like EYE have had to be the protector too often??

dfjakd;fas idk maybe i'm lame but that's just very much it for me at this point in time
