I've decided my struggle to read is learned helplessness and shamed myself out of avoiding it. where 'girl that's embarrassing' doesn't work, 'how are you gonna survive this anti-intellectual era if you can't read a book?' does. idk if this can help you too but. hope you can read a book this month!

I've identified a core issue with how I am approaching basically everything which is that I don't really fuck with my Theory of Change. mainly because every attempt I've made to enact change has failed in ways that are really messing with my outlook. and I can't tell if I'm bad at this or not

[looking wistfully out a window] oh, don't mind me, just reckoning with the fact that my own community probably wouldn't give a shit if I were brutalised by cops at a protest, based on the general reaction to what's been happening in Australia recently

what a revelation that makes me feel stupid for not noticing it sooner. I‘m only seeing now that the hair strands behind his right ear are longer than the rest because that‘s the hair he’d hold in that damn braid

can I share a rude hot take? ok. there are a lot of people whose only form of activism is boycott. conveniently this is also a form of activism that looks like 'disengaging'. and for people who were never invited to begin with, it looks like nothing. and often, without strategy, it IS nothing

people gotta stop asking me why I do community organising because every time I have to say "because it's necessary" I realise that no one else thinks it's necessary which is exactly why community organising is so fucking hard

new Wuthering Heights drama is crazy bc wdym you're not problematically capitalising on exotifying mixed race baddies anymore? are you sick? Bridgerton is out here finding the hottest racially diverse folks around to put in neckerchiefs. you found Frankenstein's guy and made him less interesting

reading discourse about Wuthering Heights and how racial ambiguity is not the same as being white-passing and how we portray the experience of being othered while identifiably non-white and like. yeah fuck that movie or whatever but you made me think of Claude von Riegan and now I'm sick again

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

the question of 'is any of this for real?' is not the point of Silent Hill, because all that really matters is that it's happening to You. and I think that in itself explains why SH resonates so well with its own themes around women, mental and chronic illnesses, grief. and also why the gays love it

very obsessed by how Silent Hill grounds itself in tangible horror. to abstract something wholly from reality then re-instate it in a way that's undoubtedly Real. it leans into alchemy (that junction between material and myth) but and then it COMMITS to it. both tangible and abstract. ugh love u SH

digging back through all my video essay scripts because I simply HAVE to believe that if I can singularly lead social movements and enact political change then, yeah, I should be able to record a voice-over for a youtube video

it's interesting to do community building work when the communities I'm building hate my guts bc folks ask why I'm doing it and I'm like. bc people will suffer if I don't. and I get to suffer either way but at least I don't have to also witness suffering, yknow

it is uhh, how you say, very obvious when someone has been in the online gay trenches too long by how they talk about gay media irl. some of us have families that fast-forward sex scenes. like. straight scenes. some of us come from communities that laugh if a gay couple kisses. do you understand

the hilarious part about the spaces I've been in lately is that I am actually getting pretty qualified to become a pastor and I lowkey would do it solely to show other pastors how it's done. if not for the fact that I don't, like, believe very strongly in God, which is a key prerequisite
