Okay, but can you imagine the Owl House crew seeing us lose our shit over how Amity was gonna have her hair down for a second this episode, all the time knowing it was gonna end like THAT
What clowns we are. What absolute buffoons.
It honestly really does make sense that Amity protecting Luz from the Abomaton is what gets Luz to fall in love.
I mean, the flowing cape? The pose? "Stay away from my Luz"? Of course she'd love that!
We know Luz likes love stories, and she writes and reads fanfiction, so of course she'd catch on to big gestures like this! (It probably wasn't intended as a romantic gesture, just Amity generally protecting Luz but you get the point)
She protecc 🥺
Now that the episode is out
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP
DANA I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
I will never shut up about this
I really appreciate how Luz doesn't blame Amity at all in this scene or get annoyed at her for not helping. She was perceptive enough to notice how Amity reacts to her mother and knew not to push the issue. Anyway I just love Luz a lot.
Blackness to me is inherently gender nonconforming largely because we will never fit into binary white supremacist notions of manhood and womanhood.
Angela Davis actually touches on this in her novel Women, Race, and Class.
Essentially, she says that Black women may have been considered genderless because we did all the same work as men but then weren’t considered men when it came to sexual abuse, suddenly being forced into these feminine, submissive roles that we clearly didn’t fit into. Once the Atlantic Slave Trade was banned, Black women were then seen as breeders to provide for slaves since they couldn’t be imported. Despite this, Black women, even if we were pregnant, still had to work in the fields and suffer the same punishment as our male counterparts.
Angela Davis goes on further to say that since Black women were never seen as housewives, Black men were in turn never seen as family providers or heads of households. By this point, Black women had acquired an abundance of traits that didn’t fit into 19th century perception of what it meant to be a woman. Also, with the rise of industrialization, white women never experienced that same intensive labor which further pushed them into the housewife stereotype. Essentially, there was this white feminist movement to erase the housewife stereotype but it didn’t include the struggles of Black women because we were never seen as housewives to begin with.
All of this to say: We were genderless and outside of any gender norm within the white supremacist framework.
Reminder that we offer the novel mentioned above, Women, Race, and Class by Angela Davis, as a free PDF for anyone to read under our social justice resources. Please share so everyone has equal and equitable access to education and activism!
Several recordings of Davis can be found on Spotify as well not just Women, Race and Class and are highly recommended

anna and cas don’t look alike but they FEEL like they look alike. it’s the eyes and the voice i think. they can both do the thing where all their expression is in their eyes that are a little fucked up looking and they both are fairly monotone.
it’s the middle of the night and i am now ready to start The Task!

Small Town Grocery Store Stories: LGBTQ+ friendly edition
Me: minding my own damn business in the grocery store
One of my students and a few of his teammates enter the dairy aisle.
My student is holding hands with one of his teammates.
My student: Oh hey, Professor X!
Me, who has both my student and his girlfriend in my class: …Hello
My student, looking at his hand-holding partner: Oh! Don’t worry. My girlfriend knows. Not that I’m cheating! I’m not cheating. I’m not gay.
Hand Holding boy: Not that being gay is a bad thing! It’s a good thing!
My student: Right! But no, listen. We aren’t together, we just hold hands in public sometimes.
Hand Holding Boy: Especially on Friday nights. And weekends. And at away games.
My student: Because sometimes people will say shit and then we can punch them! And if the fight started because someone was being homophobic, coach won’t get mad at us.
Hand Holding Boy: Always nice to punch a homophobe. And [gesturing to another boy in the group] maybe they’ll think twice about saying something to [other boy’s name] if he ever gets a boyfriend and wants to hold his hand for real. The Gay One, resigned but smiling: I’ve decided it’s sweet and not really fucking weird.
This is what “boys will be boys” is meant to be
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while.
