(no subject)

I have comments to write, a word count to post, finals to proctor and I just did this kind of thing a few weeks ago, but what the hell.

Snitched from PT: If you could force me to write anything, what would it be?

Details are precious. I don't promise to write anything, mind, but bunnies bite as they will and I have a few weeks of break starting tomorrow. Hit me!

Spamming, but...

Why is it that in 99.9% of pagan art, the goddess is a) whitebread, b) conventionally pretty, and c) skinny to the point of fragility? I sincerely doubt that Morrigan dieted so hardcore that she couldn't lift a sword, or that she stood around on hilltops posing artistically in heavy gowns. And WHY is Bast, an Egyptian deity, freaking BLONDE and BLUE-EYED in I Dream of Jeanie pants?

I want the goddess of the round belly. Kinky hair! Bloody hands! Callouses. A god with dreads. Wide hips and graying hair. (And I'm not even getting into my wish for art depicting a powerful witch in a wheelchair.) C'mon, people, what the fuck. This is NOT helping the myth (and the unfortunate reality) that paganism doesn't welcome POC.
