rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and grace's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.

i used to say that i hate my phone so much but then i realized that technology is a neutral resource exactly like sugar or money. and the more i think about it the more it makes sense. even the way people talk about a carb detox is the same way people do a dopamine detox from social media. but carbs are not bad! for example if you’re a runner you know how useful sugar is, even some candy before a sprint can have its place. and carbs are not all the same like tumblr is not the same as instagram, and quantity matters! but also money. so many people think money is bad but money is not intrinsically evil it’s a neutral resource. i can use it to help someone in need, or it can bring a sense of safety or be a resource for art-making. but the more one thinks in scarcity the more they overspend, the more one cuts sugar out the more they crave it. i think it’s the same with technology - once i stopped saying that i hated my phone i forgot about it and it started to become a tool for creativity rather than something i was feeding some undefined hunger with. sometimes i still catch myself saying i hate my phone and i take a second to pause.

Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

[bowlinggwithmargo]

this has probably been said before but I keep thinking about how much of the violence in Sharp Objects is predicated on the legacy of slavery. The south as a society was/is founded and defined by intense brutality. It's a society where white women weren't the lowest rung on the oppression totem pole because there was always a class below them to torture...a society made up of white women that, in the decades after the end of slavery, have been forced to externalize this desire to control, manipulate, dominate, and torure slaves onto each other. This legacy of pain had to go somewhere or else the teeth of being seen as less than, or property of, their white male counter parts would be harshly felt. That's why Joya tortures Adora who tortures Marian, Camille, and Amma. Amma goes onto to torture other little girls to reaffirm her self worth but Camille seemingly breaks the cycle by redirecting that pain onto herself. Camille is the liberal of the show for doing so (I don't think it's an accident that the only person who notices her self-harm is the black woman who knew her in high school.) But she is just that, a liberal, who understands this legacy of pain but is dismissive of it (making fun of Calhoun day for one thing) and thus is unable to truly reconcile with it to truly move forward (much like how America refused to deal with/reconcile with slavery and the evils it wrought.) I think that's why Sharp Objects ends the way that it does. Camille writes her little article on the events of the show but, because of this lack of reconciliation, is shocked to see the cycle of violence repeat in Amma and can do nothing to truly end it.
