agency

this has traditionally been my outlet for fangirling, because life is just a little less interesting without it. currently: photography, nature, intersectional feminism // formerly: broad city, doctor who, parks and rec, miranda, sherlock, battlestar galactica, firefly, the wire, harry potter, star wars, lotr, the hobbit, merlin, the office (us), the shoebox project, i love lucy // emilylordphoto.com // @emilylordphoto.tumblr.com // *agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. By contrast, structure is those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, customs, etc.) that determine or limit an agent and his or her decisions.

i havent shaved my legs in a really long time and while i was babysitting my skirt edged up a bit and the seven year old i was watching said “ew you should shave that hairs not supposed to be there” and i said “well if its not supposed to be there then why does it grow there?” and he was really silent for a long time and then finally said “lets watch sonic the hedgehog”

tumors grow, are they supposed to be there?

its called “evolution”, just because its there doesnt mean its useful or wanted.

“Let me tell you something about wolves, child. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Summer is the time for squabbles. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Arya, hate those who would truly do us harm. Septa Mordane is a good woman, and Sansa… Sansa is your sister. You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. You need her, as she needs you… and I need both of you, gods help me." He sounded so tired that it made Arya sad. "I don’t hate Sansa,” she told him. “Not truly.”

As the hours passed, the terror grew in Dany, until it was all she could do not to scream. She was afraid of the Dothraki, whose ways seemed alien and monstrous, as if they were beasts in human skins and not true men at all. She was afraid of her brother, of what he might do if she failed him. Most of all, she was afraid of what would happen tonight under the stars, when her brother gave her up to the hulking giant who sat drinking beside her with a face as still and cruel as a bronze mask. I am the blood of the dragon, she told herself again.

“Girls, I know this must feel very strange, but ordinary is just what you’re used to. This may not seem ordinary to you right now, but after a time, it will. This will become ordinary.”

(The Handmaid’s Tale)

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Both versions of The Handmaid’s Tale have a problem with racial erasure

And both use the history of black people to provoke empathy for the suffering of white people.

In Western fiction, dystopic stories often ask, “What if this atrocity had happened to white people instead?”
