Happy Mardi Gras, 2023!

I updated the mantel display to incorporate the festivities! Towanna is clearly ready for the parade, all dressed up and catching beads. Neve is continuing to rock the iridescent bi-pride dress and Roxy joined in wearing another fancy dress. Maybe they're going to a ball together! Diane is still wearing her green and pink frock, and is unwilling to give up her bunny. (She's determined to stick around til Easter.)

On the other side of the mantel, we have The Wearin' o' the Green! Alexis and Trixie are still sham-rocking, but Josie joined the group, and persuaded Midori to change into her Celtic knotwork tunic.

This is a combination of a black and purple Harlequin ensemble, the Teen Trends skirt, and some assorted bits and bobs.

Now I just need to figure out who is coming to Conflation this weekend, and get them into undersea adventure wear.

(I can’t remember if I already sent this to you; forgive me if I did.) I finally realized what part of the way people discuss Nathan’s Richmond roast doesn’t sit right with me. It’s not that I necessarily disagree that it’s not the healthiest form of expression, because while I think fandom puts way too much of the burden of that on Nathan himself rather than the entire environment, I do agree that it is evidence of how much he’s been influenced by the toxicity of his workplace. But I hate that it’s used as an example of why Nathan is supposedly uniquely harmful or immoral. Ted agreed the team needed to hear it and claimed that they couldn’t hear it from him, leaving Nathan’s spot to claim on the coaching staff being the “bad guy”. The team responded to it in a way they didn’t to more positive messaging.

A-fucking-greed. It's another example of how Nathan is held to a completely different standard than any of the white coaches. Fans have rightfully pointed out the sexism and overall mean-spiritedness of the roast. That kind of language should have no place in the workplace--but it does at Richmond. Moreover, it has a place in Ted's locker room.

Ted approved the roast--apparently without any notes. Ted told Nathan to say those things. When Nathan doubted whether he could or should deliver the roast, Ted reaffirmed that Nathan should--and that it would be fun.

Ted "men shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to get ready in the morning" Lasso told Nathan to call Isaac a pussy and ask Colin if he shaved his pubes.

To frame Nathan as uniquely sexist and laud Ted as some kind of feminist hero is... There is an entire body of transnational feminist literature on why it's fucked up and incredibly destructive to position brown men as uniquely misogynistic and white men as white knights. Like, this kind of rhetorical framing was used to justify killing Afghan women to save them from the Taliban.

This is getting away from me.

I'm not trying to say that Ted is ~just as bad~. I'm not concerned with who is bad and who is good and who gets to go to Protestant heaven and play acoustic guitar with Jesus for all eternity. I'm concerned with systems and how they can work better. Workplaces are systems. This fictional football club is a system, and I just wanna take it apart and put it back together better. Scapegoating Nathan (or anyone!) for all of this system's flaws is counterproductive to this aim.

Autumn Home

Autumn is such a pretty season. How I love the jewel toned leaves and the crispness in the air. It invokes coziness, warmth and comfort. I read a quote the other day, “God paints in hues that never clash”. Oh, how true that is! As I sit on my porch swing and take in all the beauty around me, I thank God for this wonderful time of year and how lucky I am to experience it. How perfectly pretty is…
