anyway, my older sister was adopted when she was almost 16 (kinda on accident too), and because of that she got away from an abusive household, went from barely passing classes to being an honour student, and launching into a career where she’s happy and healthy and paying her own way. just two years of parenting where she had 3 meals a day, a bedtime, and parents to help and protect her changed her life radically. Plus, i got an older sister

You see how she explained how race is a social construct (it is) while ALSO SAYING THAT RACISM EXISTS AND IS FUCKED UP? You see how she did that? Don’t mistake this for colorblindness because it clearly isn’t.

Why does Wisconsin, the largest of the great lakes states, not simply devour the others?

Why Wisconson doesn’t Eat the rest of the Great Lakes Area, accoding to the notes:

-Already too full from the Cheese and Beer

-Michigan is shaped like that hands they are gonna catch

-Minnesota is Bigger.  

runner-ups from the notes:

-Wisconsin Can And Should Devour Michigan because Michigan Is Terrible

-Minnesota would devour the other states itself but is too polite

-the great lakes states should not fight, but rather should bond over At Least We Are Not Illinois

Hello Mr Gaiman, for the occasion of Trans Awareness Week, i am very curious to ask: which of the many characters you have created are either explicitly and canonically transgender, or were created or thought of from you as transgender without it being explicitly shown/said? This, of course, is not meant to take away from people’s freedom to interpret or headcanon characters as such

neil-gaiman:

Let’s see: Wanda and Hal in Sandman are both trans, Desire is Trans (and in the Big Universe there are versions of the Endless that include all genders — we got to see a female Dream in Sandman Overture). There are trans characters in Miracleman, but that’s a plot point that’s been waiting 25 years to be told, and you’ve met a trans character in Neverwhere, and although that’s not apparent in Neverwhere itself it will be if I ever finish the Seven Sisters. Kalanu in American Gods is trans, everyone pretty much in the short story “Changes”…

And I just got the call saying it’s time to go back to the house and start cooking for Thanksgiving, and I don’t know how to save these as drafts, so I will post it now, and expand further on it later.
