About This Blog
This is a personal blog. It's one part personal stuff, one part media that I'm into, and one part sociopolitical issues I care about.

Things on my mind lately include Battlestar Galactica, the fate of River Song, the challenges of traveling solo as a woman, and how to transcend misogynistic narratives in traditional Appalachian music.

Stuff I typically blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (especially intersectional feminism)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ Palestine
→ gymnastics
→ personal stuff
Alison Krauss
fandom

This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it. If people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a fangirl expressing solidarity than that of some skeezy dude objectifying her.

If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.

Ok, guys. I’m sorry, but I really have to get this off my chest.

I think I’ve realized what the worst fandom is.

These people in my class every morning, complaining about what happened last night in this and that.

Grown men get into fights about it, and children/teens hate each other because of it. They all turn completely elitist about their respective opinions. 

It’s all over TV, bumper stickers, restaurants, shirts, books, trading cards… 

And wanna talk about female oppression or sexism in general? You’ve got it, right here. 

Hell, they spend entire weekends getting drunk over it. 

The fans spend thousands of dollars each year on events, memorabilia, betting, and stupid crap like bobbleheads. 

It’s plastered with shameless advertising. 

And in some countries, there are gangs around this. 

The stupidest part is that most of them don’t even get involved in it. They don’t have a huge creative base with shitloads of artists and fanfic writers like some other fandoms have. They just sit there and say “we” as if they’re part of the action. 

The worst fandom? 

Sports

fight me

BAM. 
Who could fight this.  

this is the best post ever

pERFECT,

Bless this post.

And yet it’s the only socially acceptable fandom.
