my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba
Fun story my Great Great Grandma left Germany in the 1920s because she had family in the US and could get citizenship pretty easily and once she was over in the US she then smuggled over 15 jewish families out by forging family documents so now my aunts are currently in the process of trying to tell the real ones from the fake ones because my great gran just died and there are legally over 100 surviving descendants but we know that math is a lil screwy.
Sometimes a family is you, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, and the 15 Jewish families you helped smuggle out of Nazi Germany.
Okay, but give me a Hermione Granger who cannot cook for the life of her. She’s done research, she’s taken classes, she’s tried everything and goddamit why can’t she make this work?!
Give me a Ron Weasley who watched his mother cook for years and somehow inherited her uncanny ability to just throw things in a pot and make it taste amazing. Give me a Ron Weasley who tries to teach his wife to cook because she asks him to and rubs her shoulders and fixes the light fixtures when she fails again. Give me a Ron Weasley who wears a “Kiss the cook” apron and makes all the meals for the family. Give me a Ron Weasley who fondly tells Hermione “for Merlin’s sake, you’re the bloody minister of magic, babe, you don’t have to be good at everything.” Give me a Ron Weasley who adores his wife and loves working part-time at the shop with Fred and George (there was a rumour going around that Fred died- this is poppycock. Please ignore it) and decides he loves being a househusband and defying gender roles but in a quieter way than his hurricane of a wife, who’s amazing and in-your-face and gods, he loves her. Give me a Ron who decides that he’s not so fond of the fame and glory that he gained in the war as he thought he would be, and who finally understands why Harry hated it so much in school. Give me a Ronald Weasley who learns to do laundry and mend clothes and keep house and makes lunch for his kids before they go off to muggle primary school and his wife before she goes to work and decides that being his family’s number one favourite person is more than enough. Give me a Ron who has a secret fondness for daytime soap operas when everyone’s out of the house and he’s not at the shop. Give me a Ron who is happy and healthy and realises that he’s so much more than just the sixth child or the leftover, that he’s loved, that he’s enough.
I think the most beautiful part of this is that Ron spent so much of his life being embarrassed by his mum, and finally realizing she’s been the true role model all along.
So when I was thirteen-ish I saw this therapist, who was like…WASPy Southern Belle heterosexual to the max. And I this nervous little Jewish lesbian in the South all scared and depressed and blah blah blah.
And I told her once about a dream I had where I asked a girl out and she rejected me for being “too Jewish”, and the therapist was shocked
She was all, “you’re a Jewish lesbian in your dreams?”
and I was like, “…as I am in life?”
and she went, “But I thought in dreams we all went back to the default and everyone became normal people.”
“No. I’m Jewish and gay all the time.”
“Isn’t that exhausting?”
“…kind of?”
?????
Imagine going through life seeing your background/self as “default”! Imagine thinking everyone became like you while unconscious! Imagine!
HEY! if you are on Fidelis and you are trans, this is an important message for you! Fidelis is changing their coverage, and no longer covering Transgender services.
I got a call from my Endocrinologist earlier. she was nice enough to give everyone who’s trans a call to tell them, Fidelis Care has changed their coverage, and will no longer cover transgender services. No more coverage for trips to see your doctor about trans related needs. No more coverage for your HRT. None of that.
If you are on Fidelis-Medicaid, Medicaid will not pick up the slack from Fidelis not covering it. That was my hope and it was sadly dashed when I called up my local planned parenthood to inquire.
If you are on Fidelis, either be prepared to pay a couple hundred dollars for doctors appointments + whatever the cost of your hormones is, OR switch to a different provider. I can’t make any suggestions, I’m very overwhelmed RN and haven’t had time to look into it. If you are NOT on Fidelis, Please also reblog this to spread the word! I don’t want people getting caught in the dark, surprised by this and stuck with bills they are unprepared for!
NC State Health Plan also exlcudes transgender health care as of Janurary 2018!
