Katy Perry’s Dark Horse. 

Once again we see Katy’s commodification and obsession with capturing the blackness of image and profiting off of it. She images black and POC men to be capitalized off of. She takes the gifts from them and turns the men into literal objects like dice, wine, and even animals. The women, black women, are only shown through cat like heads removing them from the narrative. It is Katy herself who tries to become the other: a black woman or dark horse. This is all probably unintentional but images like this do hold power. It’s also not the first or last time she would try and consume/mock blackness. This relates to how blackface often reduces blackness to commodified and fun images. White supremacy places ownership over the black body in any way they like.

Wandering Thought # 372

Christmas is not about Jesus anymore. This is the nature of capitalism — it transforms even the most holy and sacred into a commodity, and so profanes it, voids it of any spiritual meaning, and degrades it into a festival for consumption and spending. We lost all connection except to ourselves as consuming beings, but in this process, it is we who are being consumed by a monster we can no longer see, by a monster that we worship. We lost all connection to love and higher modes of being.

The shortage between oil production and consumption worldwide has been increasing since the late 1990s. Generally a lack of supply does not appear to be due to a current acute lack of refining capacity; although refining capacity is more stretched than it was in the 1980s.
