The Still Voices

The Jake Paul fight against Anthony Joshua gotta be a prime example of how desperately conservative wealthy douchebags like JP cling to the fantasy that they are physically the strongest, toughest winners of society. In what fucking world would a man like AJ lose to someone 5" shorter and 20 pounds lighter with no professional heavyweight experience. JP is convinced he can pay for the experience of beating someone at the top of their field, because that's what he wanted out of this. He paid for the ability to say "I can beat Anthony Joshua." He genuinely forgot there is something called the love of the game, and if this look in Joshua's eyes ain't it idk what is

It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered.

I always remember a post I saw along ago about Greek Gods being portrayed as Black.

I think what annoys me so much is that you're telling me that these are gods that represent the entirety of humankind, but somehow they have to be white (and apparently not fat, now) otherwise it's a problem, and... Somehow that doesn't reveal your racist standards? That to be Divine is to be White? It's not obvious in that belief, alone?

Now that we’re 6 episodes into Dispatch, you can really tell that this was originally a TV show that was converted into a game. Obviously, it’s Telltale, their games always had an issue with making your choices matter. But as of episode 6, it’s clear what the original TV show idea would look like:

I really hate that fandom racism is something we as Black people are told we just have to accept as endemic to fandom rather than something people should be actively working to eradicate from fandom spaces.
