I’m gonna be real with you chief. If I was a recently fallen angel and I slid on over to to a not so fallen angel (who is supposed to be guarding specifically against me lmao good job on that one buddy) and started up a chat and he actually, like, ENGAGED in the conversation with me and then he revealed that DEFIED HIS ORDERS and gave away his flaming sword because he didn’t want to watch humans be defenseless and have to suffer needlessly (which, like, SAME. I also hate watching humans suffer needlessly. It was a whole Thing) and then and then and THEN he SHIELDS ME, THE GUY THAT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES HE SHOULD BE FIGHTING, WITH HIS OWN PERSONAL ATTACHED TO HIS BODY WING from the first ever rain? I, too, would’ve been like shit man. Guess I’ll be in love with you for the next 6000+ years.
he even got flustered when asked about the sword!!! he’s freaking adorable?? I really don’t even think it’s strange at all that Crowley’s reaction was basically:
If we sit there and complain that brands are infecting the movement which they’ve always done, instead of creating spaces of discussion that are womanist as in considerate of women of color, while also discussing the antiblackness for which Black feminist was birthed, if we don’t bring back Audre Lorde and June Jordan texts and discuss the fracture between the theorist and the theory when it comes to intersectionality (Kimberlé Crenshaw slowly but surely collaborating with power/girlboss feminism while her theory still remain current and relevant) and its existing Black feminist critiques, we’ll always be in a state of desperation that doesn’t need to be there.
June Jordan Audre Lorde Patricia Hill Collins Toni Cade Bambara on both the theory and fictional side Michelle Cliff writing in gorgeously complex trans women characters in No Telephone to Heaven The Black sex workers and what they have to say, especially the trans ones Let’s find the true elders of the Black gay community
The twins Beverly and Barbara Hill and fundamental artisans of the cornestones of the Black lesbian feminist movement and the lesbian aspect of the movement are still alive The Combahee River Collective movement and their statement, the fact that their founder is Barbara Hill and that this is Black feminist socialist lesbian organization Let’s move and talk and read and critique boldly…and use all texts, novels, movies, songs as well as theory
