We Are the Daughters of the Microbes Who Could Survive in an Oxygen-rich Atmosphere

like at least 50% of internet lgbt discourse would evaporate if people quit using the term "spaces" when they mean "discord servers" or "tumblr blogs" because we would collectively realize how stupid that shit is

i feel like we don't appreciate these days how much the twin towers sucked, like, design-wise

they were contemporarily hated for just being these giant grey monoliths

like there probably could've been an easier way to get rid of them, but they probably needed to go either way

Hello ghosts (I haven’t posted ghost quartet in years but this show still has such a special place in my heart)

Relistened recently and was really fascinated by how love is a theme throughout the show

Specifically love between women whether that relationship be maternal, romantic, sisterly etc. and how these relationships can be such a complicated balance of love and hate.

Always something new for me to think about with this show

life is unrelenting and cruel but at least theres my mutuals posting about their descent into absolute madness via the tags on a fandom post which can only be understood if you've gone clinically insane

Peter Garrett leading a public inquiry in to AUKUS was not on my bingo card for this year

its a relatively minor detail but i really appreciate that in gq rose didn't fall out with the astronomer for no reason or vague reasons but because he stole her work. thinking abt how many women had their work stolen by men, particularly husbands? and its such an invasive and hurtful thing to do, to take the poems she wrote out of love for him and claim them as his own.

obviously "maul the astronomer and turn my sister into a crow and lock them both in a cage until the crow starts to starve and she has no choice but to peck out the eyes of her lover and eat them" is a pretty intense reaction to your sister getting with your ex (crush? boyfriend?) who stole your work. but i like how none of the characters in gq are straightforwardly innocent or heartless or straightforwardly anything. but sisters / daughters / brothers / husbands / mothers / fathers / ghosts

"why we build the wall" from hadestown is really gonna trip up future media analysis students. they'll be like "ah a piece of media from the 2010s referencing building a wall to keep out the poor, clearly this is a reference to the president of the united states from 2016-2020", and then their professor will have to be like "actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010"

gatherround

how i hope this conversation goes from there is like:

"actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010 and the original song was written in 2006"

"so she knew about the wall 10 years before Trump proposed it be built?"

"well, let's talk about that...

...but that wasn't when the wall was first built...

...this shift in the '90s marked the start of an enforcement philosophy called Prevention Through Deterrence, which basically says that if crossing is made more deadly, fewer people will cross (fact check: it just means that more people die on the journey). From the start, the purpose of the wall was not to physically to stop people from crossing -- it was to make it more deadly to do so.

...and we can also look at the song metaphorically and expansively, as a reference to the policing of migration, to company towns, to gated communities, and the physical and metaphorical walls that throughout history have kept people in and out and defined who does and don't belong.

Sources: 1 & 2 / 3 / 4"

"...how did you just say a hyperlink?"

"why worry about that when you can use this show as an entry-point into a deeper understanding of capitalism's investment in coercive control over human migration, and its long history in the United States?"

"so the song only seems prophetic because the long history of policing and militarizing the border has been ignored, and treated as an outsider position by Trump rather than the continuation of bi-partisan policy dating back decades? and it can be seen to reflect larger patterns of capital controlling people's movement in order to extract land, labor, wealth, and ultimately life from them?"

"and the song slaps"

"....and the song slaps"

thank you so much for this well-researched response tho because, as a texan, the very concept that trump invented the idea of the border wall made me kinda. reboot. not mad at op! just surprised at the difference in our life experiences
