Everybody white that's jumping on Black people's posts that are critical of the series, or just episode 6 and trying to use other Black fans as The Acceptable Negro Response needs to consider what the fuck they're doing and stop playing overseer (since y'all like slavery terminology so fucking much).
Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.
My favorite part is the sink.
why is the oven full of naked women
I was there for the nineties I don't remember that
Also, "stay home if you don't want to be murdered by the government" is not something said by people who value freedom.

y im hearing they had claudia call louis nappy headed on the show…? …she would never say that and its odd asf that a writing team with no black people on it would add that line in like theres been little stuff during this season that has made me go ? but i thought i was overreacting but no this is weird….like why did daniel call louis louisiana fried chicken…?
like if claudia was always set up as a colorist / texturist character then ok but she never gave that…..like at all…my claudia? the claudia with her natural curls out all the time…? the very smart and poised claudia that was able to recognize lestat and the houses dynamic of being a plantation where lestat is the slave owner keeping two black ppl hostage for his pleasure…? she would not call anyone nappy headed …she has called louis stupid plenty of times why would she say nappy…..bring the black writers back bc thats crazy.
Whites are breaking their fingers and necks to tell people (Black folks, in particular) about aaaallllll the Black fans that said Claudia calling Louis a nappy headed slave was justified, and/or said Black people say worse things to each other all the time.
It's nasty work, all the way around.
It feels like Rolin is writing fanfic for this season but forgot to tag it, so I'm helping him out
The Vampire Lestat | Alternate Universe - No Logic | Anti-Louis de Pointe du Lac | Anti-Armand | Justice for Lestat | No beta we die like Claudia | Author is high while writing this | Author regrets NOTHING | Character Assassination as Plot Device | One true love because monogamy is the best | Mention of racial slurs | Offensive language towards a CSA victim | But author SWEARS it was with good intentions
If one more person comes into my inbox to say "but they are adapting the Louis and Claudia dynamic from Merrick" I'm gonna lose my fucking mind. Mfs the racist writing from the episode didn't exist in the books because Louis and Claudia are white in the book. Louis getting told by Claudia's ghost that she hates him is not the fucking problem. Get it into your thick heads that two white men wrote the most virulent old school anti-black dialogue for a black woman directed at a black man when the book they're adapting from didn't have anything of that sort in those pages.
i've seen people talk about the choice of words in episode 6 like "you know, black people do talk like that sometimes and even worse, so it's fine." and obviously, you can see this however you want to see it, and if that's how you feel then that's just that. the thing for me is, though, that while yes that is true, and i've heard, for example, my own family call other black people slaves and whatnot for acting extremely subservient to white people, that's not what's going on in the show because these words don't exist in a vacuum. this is a writer's room that is mostly white and doesn't have a single black person in it (or rather, one that used to have black writers but those weren't called back), for a show that sidelined the actors of color for most of it's promotion before release earlier this year, in a season that has been constantly microaggressive towards the characters of color (who were also sidelined) and constantly punching down the black main character of the previous seasons while overlooking or exporting the white mc's faults. because of this, i just can't look at this with kind eyes. it's not like blackness has been handled tastefully at any point of this season. so when you have claudia say all of those things to louis while almost hyping up lestat (i mean, the blood comment? when she asked louis to turn madeleine because she didn't want his blood in her, at least from what i remember?) initially, i can't see anything but lack of sensitivity and ignorance (being generous) from the writers. this isn't the same as if those words were coming out of a black person's mouth.
i understand why claudia would be angrier at louis, i understand that it's like that in the books. but in the books these were white characters, they knowingly made them black, and at least in the previous seasons they seemed to be aware that this changes things and that they can't just adapt the books 1:1 and that they have to be careful with how they handle these characters. they could have made claudia be angry at louis and express all that anger without calling him nappy-headed (which, by the way, upsets me even more when i'm reminded of that note jacob wrote for the hairstylist this season talking about how his hair is his achilles' heel*) or a slave. and well, if they didn't want to think about it (race, that is) at all long-term, maybe they should have written about a bunch of white characters instead.
i'm also not saying that people can't write about things that they aren't or have never experienced, of course. i believe someone who isn't black could write great stories about black characters. but it has to be tasteful, and because of what i said in the first paragraph i just don't think this is tasteful at all. i don't think they had any care with how they took any of the characters' races into account, especially not louis's. i don't they they took it into account at all, actually, beyond "oh yeah, he's black, let's make daniel call him louisiana fried chicken! and then make claudia call him *insert all that shit again*! because we can!"
what makes it worse for me is that they sold this show as a race-conscious adaptation, as i've said in another post. the only reason i gave a fuck about it when normally i don't even try to like adaptations of books i like was the fact that they were doing it like that, and i'm sure it was the same for many people. and also that they swore up and down they were not going to sideline louis like in the books, even if lestat will be the new lead. hell, the end of s2 gave me this impression. so they solidified this show and garnered a fanbase with this concept of race-consciouness and how they would handle that so much better than the source material and how they will treat the black main characters with a lot of care, only to abandon all of that in the third season (including the source material lol, but this isn't even the biggest sin for me atm.)
but basically, to reiterate, no, i don't think the fact that sometimes black people talk like this makes it any better in this case.
*that line about the hair is so unnecessary... i can even see why they thought the slave comparison made sense, but this? was it added for shock or something?

if that was “the best claudia scene [they] ever wrote” then i don’t think anybody involved in it should write again
Doctor Who: The Kaleidoscope: Circuit Breaker
When memories lie, the truth can be fatal. In the aftermath of an improbable mission, the Fugitive Doctor and Martha realise that something is interfering with their minds. Something that doesn’t want to be found. Their investigation leads to a curious artefact in the British Museum: an apparently medieval toy known as the Kaleidoscope. But the object refuses to stay in one place, one time – or one identity. And when the Doctor is repeatedly mistaken for someone she’s never met, fragments of unfamiliar memories begin to surface. Across the Earth, a hidden pattern emerges; evidence of a secret that someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal. As ancient enemies close in and innocent lives are put at risk, the Doctor learns the hard way that some truths were buried for a reason… A key instalment of the Doctor Who transmedia event Circuit Breaker, this novel is written by the Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin – and also features Martha Jones (as played by Freema Agyeman) together with the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, or UNIT.
