I really want to have a conversation about Kindred. Like that book so truly terrifying I couldn’t sleep for days afterwards I kept thinking I would wake up in the midst of my family’s trauma and a literal slave to the past. Ms butler wrote a lot of weird and unnerving shit but for some reason Kindred stuck with me the most.

RDMacQ is someone who is possibly the most detestable person I’ve ever had the misfortune of interacting with online.

I mean even for people who don’t like horror movies and will be peering through their fingers for like the first hour and a half of It (or more) I still feel I’ve got to recommend the movie on the climax alone. On the sheer catharsis of that climax alone.

I have got to say there is no way I can spoil the sheer joy in your heart you will have where, right after Bill gets his closure he’s been seeking the whole movie and It tries to get one last win in, we then move to the kids deny that and then them just taking this downright amazing, epic stand against the thing that has been tormenting them (and you, the viewer, who has likely been scared) this whole movie. What it feels like to see them stand up to the things that scared them, see them help their friends fight It off, see them get confronted with something that earlier in the movie would have terrified them but now makes them scream in primal rage that It would dare try to us that in a cowardly attempt to make them back off. 

Just...that scene. That scene. That scene is worth the price of the ticket all on its own, but it gets its beauty mainly through the struggle and terror from earlier in the film. It just feels so amazing and triumphant and you just feel this great release as you watch it, this great cathartic YES and it deserves such praise for that.

Perspective

Today I found out that a girl I went to uni with (who would be 25-years-old) was diagnosed with cancer last month. She posted on Facebook today, to show that she was up-and-about with the same spunk and enthusiasm she has always had, 24 hours after her first surgery.

This girl was always bubbly and friendly, and would talk and joke with anyone in our course. To see her not only announce her cancer diagnosis at such a young age, but in her usual manner, was a bittersweet (would that be the right word?) way to remind me that no, my world isn’t ending. My world is changing. It may seem endlessly painful and horrific right now, but I have my health. I have the opportunity to live my life how I want to live it. I can mourn the bad and sad parts of my life, but goddamn I need to make sure I don’t forget to actually live my life.
