Earth’s Scapegoat and her Sacrificial Lamb

So we've been having a bit of a debate in the office because we wanted to do the headline "Local man gives up sugar for 12 minutes" but then overdoing the "local man" trope is a bit male-centric, so we considered "Local woman" but then that sounds like we're typecasting women so that wasn't great either, but I think we've finally found a worthy compromise:

It is a custom in my family to pass on a piece of wisdom when one reaches this age. l will pass it on to you as my father passed it on to me.

I've been having SUCH a good time in the Sinners tag, reading so much interesting and insightful meta!

So here's my contribution—spoilers ahead.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is the horror *after* Sinners. Like something truly goddamn awful happened in this community and nobody knows!!! Like 50-60 people just DISAPPEARED overnight and everyone else just has to pick up the pieces???

Sammie knows, but he can't tell anyone. They probably know he knows something, but like...... there's just no explanation. No wonder he runs away to Chicago. Yes, blues is his dream but ALSO how could you stay home after that?

Maybe they think the Klan crashed the party and killed everyone? Since the next day someone will find Smoke and all those white Klan corpses there. But WHERE is Stack. Smoke and Stack are always together. And WHERE are the fifty+ other people who were at the party last night! There's absolutely no trace of them. It's mind boggling and mystifying and upsetting.

Grace and Bo never go home to Lisa. Annie will surely be missed by all the people who counted on her, for magic and food and being there. Cornbread doesn't go home to Therise and their baby on the way. Delta Slim was a staple in the community and he's just gone. Pearline and Mary both don't go back to their husbands. And repeat that over and over and over for everyone who was there and there's NO CLUE for where they could have gone.

What a traumatic thing to rip through this community. It's horrible. And I can't stop thinking about it.

I maintain much would be improved if:

1) Every person who runs for president has to spin a big wheel and if it lands on a certain space you're just immediately shot to death and your worldly possessions stripped and divided amongst your constituency. This will ensure only those willing to give their lives for the people will run, and would be personally funny to me, Jules

2) What is the opposite of a dynasty. If anyone in your family ever ended up president nobody else in the bloodline can run for like 6 generations. And if someone ever even accidentally implies they'll be good president because great grandpappy Thomas was president, that person also gets shot to death. This has the benefit of me not needing to hear about political dynastic families and also would be funny to me, Jules

there were communist movements that were militant and communist movements that were nonviolent as a deliberate political strategy, and much in between. it did not matter in the end to usamerican imperialists and their allies. there was no acceptable way to be non-aligned with us interests. people should understand that by now

Sometimes a project comes out looking even better than it's been in my head, and I just have to sit back and appreciate what a flawless genius I am 😌

What if I died in your arms over and over and OVER again, and then I became a god powered by your devotion to me who ascended to godhood to end the suffering of other girls like us. And then what if you were so desperate to see me again that you conjured up a fake paradise where we and our friends could live happily, only it was actually a trap set by aliens meant to contain me. And what if you decided to become a monster to keep my secrets safe, only for me to intervene and remind you how much I love you which saves your soul from eternal corruption.

And we were both girls 😳

Weird to me when pundits are like, "I'm so surprised that these powerful CEOs and institutions are capitulating to the fascism in advance" like, no? They are the fascism? Fuckin... Zuckster isn't "capitulating" to Trump. He helped make Trump. And he'll be there working to undermine our freedom once Trump is gone, too. Wild, acting like these oligarchs are just not fighting back hard enough. They signed on to this shit in advance, man.
