Eva Stratt propaganda incoming! (mostly book-related because I think the things she gets the most criticism for are things from the book.) It drives me absolutely bonkers when Stratt is pared down into someone who is straighforwardly evil because Her Whole Freaking Thing, particularly in the book, is that she *knows* from day one that she is going to be thrown under the bus for everything she has to do to save Earth. She is very aware that if you take her actions out of the context they are living in, she would be The Bad Guy. But the thing is that you cannot remove the context from Eva Stratt's actions.

Like, yeah, of course, bombing Antarctica is a bad thing to do. It is objectively a very bad idea... EXCEPT for when you have thirty years at most before over half of the Earth's population will be obliterated as they slowly freeze and starve to death, and releasing the methane trapped under the ice is the only actionable solution that you have for slowing that timeline even a little bit.

This holds true for pretty much all of her more "questionable" actions in the book, up to and including paving over the Sahara to breed astrophage (aka the ONLY fuel source that would make this mission even remotely possible) and sending Grace on his one-way trip into space.

And remember that "half the population will be dead in thirty years" statistic is the *optimistic* number. Stratt, Grace, and other characters repeatedly point out that it only holds true if the *entire planet* works together. Every government, every person, sharing increasingly scarce resources as the world gets darker and colder and hope gets smaller. In the book, Stratt's academic background is in History; she talks at length about how that background is what motivates her. In her estimation, almost every war in history was fought over food and resources. This conversation is the only time she is described as vulnerable, btw. She is SCARED and about to send her only friend to his death against his will and she is DOING HER BEST.

Direct quote from the book: "If I have to be the world's whipping boy to secure our salvation, then that's my sacrifice to make... when the alternative is death to your entire species, things are very easy."

There's so much more I could say but my lunch break is over so like.

TLDR: It's not that Eva Stratt did nothing wrong. It's that there was No Right Answer in the first place, and holding her actions to some unreachable moral standard is erasing the reason she takes them at all.

eva stratt propaganda!

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
