The Ugly Things I Do For Beauty. . .

This is a blog that misses Carrie Fisher. So, I'd like to be able to say there's like a running theme with the blog, but there really isn't. I like black and white horror movies, books, tea, tv shows, cars, a staggered variety of music, audrey hepburn, vampire diaries, pictures of rain and people in berets, stars and meaningful quotes, old houses and candles. I write novels and I really dig writing and the way words can be put together, so I love literary quotes quite a lot, but i've also never met a supernatural gif i didn't like. So, some of the stuff will be all pretty and artsy and other times it will be dark and a little morbid. And there will always be pictures of tea.

I was just thinking about this today talking to a friend about converting YouTube videos to mp3s to put them on our iPods and filling out the metadata stuff and adding album cover photos so it looked legit. Like you actually had to know computer stuff to do that

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
