Boba Fett Is Not White

imperialarchon:

As is the apparent norm for inspiration for new posts for me — I stumbled upon something someone said on the internet. I say I stumbled upon, but I rather mean a tweet popped onto my tweetfeed. The tweet featured a picture of a man in Mandalorian armour, which obviously attracted my attention. Then I saw the face also in the picture. Then I read the text.

I won’t quote directly, because 1. I’ve lost the tweet completely and 2. I don’t want to give it attention. But the gist of it was “rooting for Cumberbatch for Boba Fett!”

okay instead of sleeping, like i was going to, i wrote an actual blog post on the subject. good night

Casually going to link Dante Basco’s little bit from 2013 about the importance of Fett and the Clones being the ethnicity of Tem, Daniel, and Bodie.

One of the reasons I love the Fetts and Clone so much is because I’m Pacific Islander as well and dang, son, if that’s not the coolest thing for a very rarely (and accurately) portrayed demographic, then I don’t know what is.

asexualthings:

Asexuality is an orientation in which a person does not experience sexual attraction to any sex and/or gender. They do not feel an intrinsic desire to make sex a part of their relationships with other people. However they may still be able to experience other types of attraction, and desire relationships with other people.

I wish there was a speed dating to help patients find the right doctors and surgeons for them. Because setting up all these appointments and trying to figure out which is the better one for you is the pits.

Instead of the millionaire matchmaker I need the medical matchmaker.

ehlersdanlossupport:

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders marked by extremely loose joints, hyperelastic skin that bruises easily, and easily damaged blood vessels.

There are six major types and at least five minor types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

A variety of gene mutations (changes) cause problems with collagen, the material that provides strength and structure to skin, bone, blood vessels, and internal organs.

The abnormal collagen leads to the symptoms associated with EDS. In some forms of the condition this can include rupture of internal organs or abnormal heart valves.

Family history is a risk factor in some cases

Symptoms of EDS include:

  • Double-jointedness

  • Easily damaged, bruised, and stretchy skin

  • Easy scarring and poor wound healing

  • Flat feet

  • Increased joint mobility, joints popping, early arthritis

  • Joint dislocation

  • Joint pain

  • Very soft and velvety skin

  • Vision problems

Treatment

There is no specific cure for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Individual problems and symptoms are evaluated and cared for appropriately. Frequently, physical therapy or evaluation by a doctor specializing in rehabilitation medicine is needed.

Expectations (prognosis)

People with EDS generally have a normal life span. Intelligence is normal.

Those with the rare vascular type of EDS are at significantly increased risk for rupture of a major organ or blood vessel.
