interview with toni morrison (2015)

#toni morrison #interviews #i feel SO STRONGLY about this #the musicality love humanity and depth entrenched in her work is just unparalleled #its genuinely tragic how it can be obscured and confined by its labelling #also more generally #such masterful considerate empathetic and intelligent investigations on enmeshment have been written by african american women #but are accepted within exclusively black contexts unlike the universality of victorian gothic

on the child loss

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

addressmysol

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

angstbotfic

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.

listening to audiobook and just went, man… wonder if i can get subtitles for this…

evolution!

got overwhelmed while reading sabina spielrein so i grounded a handful of almonds until i felt better

#i dont care to eat it rn but its very fragrant not sure what to do with it #ill scrape it into a container for a single serving of almond butter #well i should but its so fun to play with #slopping it around

i want a physical copy of sula so badly im crying to cowboy carter surrounded by five copies of charcoal portraits of myself and in my head i have rolling on repeat in jncreasing volume “you think i dont know what your life is like just because i aint living it? Dying, just like me but the difference is they dying like a stump me im going down like one of those redwoods i suredidliveinthisworld SHOW?TOWHO?GIRL I GOT MY MIND. AND WHAT GOES ON IN IT. WHICH IS TO SAYIGOT ME.

my mom just texted me “i only see that in movies and you’re living it” about my day in school. however i manage it im gonna live

#i mean i will not be inhibited by myself #i mean distress and dysfunction aside the not knowing how to eat how to sleep how to feel normally about anything how to not make #little things the end of the world #all of it be damned you will not be stopped by these things. yes im a mess of a person and. yes and yes and #i will not be kept small #not by own will #fuck every road leads back to toni morrison #im gonna cry

babe dont stop now that parasocial relationship with the woman in her 40s will save you

#i love anusree roy soo much although i do always think about her talking about cbt with the reverence and discovery of prometheus to fire

group distress facilitation session

buzzed and shaky high from that #dysregulation and i have portrait and two figure studies due wednesday night feeling like irving from servence… in my basement with my Tar and Dull Eyed Dedication

#also i cant gauge the quality of anything i produce until 48h after so fingers crossed and prayers baby #waving carrot (the vampire lestat) in front of me all of tomorrow

had a small anxiety attack because i threw out someones expired milk and then dm’d them to let them know and then i got so worried that maybe they need that milk and then she said it was new and i was like oh my god did i throw away her good milk and fished it out from the garbage anyways turns out the carton i threw out and spent 30m freaking out over was NOBODYS MILK THATS WHY ITS BEEN SITTIJG THERE FOR SO LONG

#anxiety is UGLY and ANNOYING paste that on my face #im not over this. someone who doesnt live here left their milk. and so here it stayed. a month past expiration. why

It is in the handmade that the hand is made human

i think fear fuelled secrecy is deadly, says girl who does not speak

these letterboxd comments pissing me off “sometimes it can be difficult to find a point of relatability in films that depict such extreme poverty” why is your first instinct in approaching a movie how well you can relate to it? and secondly you think you dont have plenty in common with people who are experiencing poverty? that you are not the very same thing in a different circumstance? you saw a little girl climbing trees stealing fruit arguing with friends about forgetting salt, running through grass to watch the train, and felt like her eating rice and spinach everyday was a barrier to connection? you have relationships, you have family you want to beat and kiss and you have wanted; you have stolen, you have desired for more you have hurt people from the pettiness claustrophobia brings out. oh my god i was already over it by the first sentence but i wanted to finish the review since it makes me respond so viscerally and man every sentence gets worse. Why are u talking about the guilt u assume in this movie review this isnt about you

every voice matters but every voice needs not to be listened to because the average person is not well informed enough to make opinions worth listening to my God. I have feedback for every line of both these reviews but i should stop

#maybe im being a bitch its ok to not like a movie you dont feel like was for you #but critiquing a genre film for being its genre feels pointless #the atmospheric humanist movie is slow and sparse on dialogue yes the romcom has a second act misunderstanding fight driving apart the leads #is it not the label on the bag.#i think the tone of the reviews are whats bothering me
