The Enigma of Amigara Fault

This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these  silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.

It’s about a 15-20 min read, but if you haven’t read this before, you’re in for a treat. Link above.

I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.

I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.

white people find a way to critique the problematic politics and business dealings of brown women like mindy kaling and MIA without diminishing the value and impact of their work and accomplishments challenge

[probuccalfat]

i find mindy annoying and i find MIA disappointing too but like… i can still acknowledge and appreciate what they did for the culture before they sold out to play in class politics instead of race politics. mindy kaling put out a prolific and solid amount of what’s considered an iconic sitcom—she has more writing credits on a white man’s beloved the office than any other writer at their table, and the sex lives of college girls, and you cannot simultaneously call those well-written or iconic shows before turning around and saying mindy gave nothing of cultural relevance. from MIA, arular and kala got and still get discussed as ingenious and as prophetic for a whole wave of artists with more experimental and out of the box pop sounds. on the MIA front, it’s actually a little uncomfortable for me to have white folks talk on what’s going with her politics and her mental wellbeing because it’s almost always missing the context of MIA growing up in the sri lankan civil war (which was bloody and horrific) and living as a refugee. i just don’t know if you can bring anything to the conversation if you can’t conceptualize how a trauma like that can manifest the way it is right now. idk. i’m so skeeved by white people blindly diminishing these women as irrelevant because they behaved in a way that’s crossing the line (and like look it crosses the line for me too) because it feels like and implies to me that a woman of colour is only worth her salt as an artist if she’s the model minority.

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

"Preparing [for the role of Nikki] was really fun. We got to watch a lot of fun movies, and kind of pick and choose, like a puzzle, what we wanted in the film. Moments that we took inspiration from, and made them our own." — Inde Navarrette for Fandango "We watched Get Out, and focused on a lot of the moments where characters are showing an emotion underneath but saying something completely different [on the surface], and how horrific that is. There's a scene where [Nikki] is saying, "no", and there is a [similar] scene in Get Out [which we took inspiration from]." — Inde Navarrette for A Shot Magazine Obsession (2026) Dir.
