#late night musings
Sometimes….you go to bed hoping it will work like a reboot on a computer.
That when you awaken, things will be brighter. Improved. Your brain will work better.
It’s worth a shot….right?
what’s so different about the victorian era and today’s world? humans are still destroying the planet, corporations are still enforcing unsafe work environments, racists still arguing that “not all slave owners were bad,” the british royal family is still problematic af, reproductive rights are still determined by rich, white men and folks still fuck with that dark academia aesthetic
The biggest issue with Joanne’s understanding of racism is that she reinforces a [racist] assimilationist system of reality that one’s worth is contingent on their intellect, skill level, or “output.” If you are “contributing” to the society or assimilate into the existing framework, then you are worthy … you are, in a historical sense, an “Extraordinary Negro” or a “model minority.”
Would Hermione still be valued if she wasn’t the smartest student in her year? Would Lily be celebrated if she wasn’t a skilled witch who married a Potter?
While the segregationist racism of the Malfoys and the Wizarding government is overtly violent, assimilationist racism is the more dangerous because masquerades imperialism and settler-colonialism behind liberal politucs and social justice (both which are rooted in white saviorism and imperialism).
Rowling gave an endorsement to liberal, assimilationist racism (without any criticism or resolution) because she herself is an assimilationist.
Sometimes when i’m not feeling like i’m having a productive day/night on a scene of animation, I pop open MSA Hellbent to give me a boost since it’s my favorite Mystery Skulls Animated video to this day. I still don’t know how the hell we finished that video at the quality we did haha.
the pluto in sagittarius generation will tear this mess to the fucking ground & start all over again
You bet you’re ass I will
Honestly, my ideal domestic life involves silly, demeaning French maid outfits, lots of chains, super high heels, and strictly enforced gender roles
I want so much right now. I want to be denied to the point where I think I can’t take it anymore and then denied longer. I want to be made to walk around topless and forced to wear heels. I want a plug stuffed up my ass. I want to be told I’m too stupid to do anything but look after my man
