Nature, Nerds, and Nords

This is my personal blog, and the closest approximation of what you may find here includes (roughly in order of prevalence) Nature, scandinavian and celtic culture, metal, wild animals, geeky things, pretty people, progressive social/political issues, and just generally visually appealing pictures. Also I really love the Swedish death metal band, Amon Amarth.

Lastly, I hope that by following my blog, you are led to other, equally or more amazing blogs.

TW: anti-LGBT bigotry

Issa Rae basically uses homophobia and transphobia in her show Awkward Black Girl as punch lines

in the first season the T-word was used as an insult levied at one of the characters

also in Jay’s awkward raps she uses the phrase “no lesbo”

I am as white privileged as they come, likely, and I love The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl. So here’s my possibly insensitive unapologetic proclamation that I enjoy that webseries. I find it funny, and I find that I have a lot in common with the main character, which is why it’s funny. I don’t laugh at transphobic or homophobic humor, but I find that the rest of the show’s substance makes up for those shortcomings. I might feel differently if I were a PoC or transgendered or otherwise differently privileged, but the most I can do is be aware that others might have issue with some of the things I find humorous and not rub it in their faces, but still enjoy the things I enjoy. Wrong? Maybe? I don’t know, what do you think?
