anyway what’s the best book you’ve ever read and yes if you say some YA shit i will kill a hostage.

i dislike the weird jump to blame suicide victims for their suicides and call them selfish. suicide is very frequently in some way a social murder. i think instead of blaming someone who was in such a dark place that they saw no other way out we should maybe be blaming the people who threw gas on the fire, such as those with a lot of power to make that person's life that bad or those who abused them into it. is that really that unreasonable

also afterwards everyone who was talking about their cool bunker fantasies were like "Damn, Devin's right, we should also be considering helping people around us." which is the only recorded instance of a retail shift making people better human beings.

if you see this, reblog with the last sentence you’ve written for a fic 🤲

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

Grew up next to Angola. It’s much worse than you think

I wonder how many people are imprisoned for weed

I’m from Mississippi and it’s like this in my home town. Enslaved prisoners clean roadways, pick cotton, everything they’ve done since before slavery was supposedly ended. What they teach in schools is nothing but propaganda.

the problem is i really do love staying up until one billion o'clock. it just cant be helped

this has probably been said before but I keep thinking about how much of the violence in Sharp Objects is predicated on the legacy of slavery. The south as a society was/is founded and defined by intense brutality. It's a society where white women weren't the lowest rung on the oppression totem pole because there was always a class below them to torture...a society made up of white women that, in the decades after the end of slavery, have been forced to externalize this desire to control, manipulate, dominate, and torure slaves onto each other. This legacy of pain had to go somewhere or else the teeth of being seen as less than, or property of, their white male counter parts would be harshly felt. That's why Joya tortures Adora who tortures Marian, Camille, and Amma. Amma goes onto to torture other little girls to reaffirm her self worth but Camille seemingly breaks the cycle by redirecting that pain onto herself. Camille is the liberal of the show for doing so (I don't think it's an accident that the only person who notices her self-harm is the black woman who knew her in high school.) But she is just that, a liberal, who understands this legacy of pain but is dismissive of it (making fun of Calhoun day for one thing) and thus is unable to truly reconcile with it to truly move forward (much like how America refused to deal with/reconcile with slavery and the evils it wrought.) I think that's why Sharp Objects ends the way that it does. Camille writes her little article on the events of the show but, because of this lack of reconciliation, is shocked to see the cycle of violence repeat in Amma and can do nothing to truly end it.
