Fuck me.

Two shows written by conservatives showing a Black woman being tortured, boring-ass nonsensical conservative racist rants, and gratuitous hot lesbian scenes. Both of the shows have Black leads with white partners, and the audience doesn’t know they are being exposed to propaganda because of the pretty Black leads. Also a middle-aged White woman has more scenes than the star.

Damn. How did I get here? Oh yeah pretty Black leads.

At least I knew what to expect from Taylor Sheridan. A White boy just killed a dude that was handcuffed and they were like don’t get caught.

I think I can surmise how Jacob feels from interviews (maybe- maybe not ). I wonder about Zoe.

Zoe chose a strictly (non-Afro) Latina identity after being thrown out of Black identity for portraying Nine Simone, in Blackface and a prosthetic nose. She's enjoying the paycheck and living in the Ham's Redemption painting.

My Fandom Round-Up on Tumblr...

Sleepy Hollow - I CANNOT bring myself to revisit, but wow that was the first and best fandom I've been in on tumblr, hence the handle/alias. Wrote like 15(??) fics I'm proud of. Star Trek (movies and series) - is really my first fandom and first works. I reblogged a bit here and wrote meta, but not as much as in early reboot days. TWD - for a while, I wrote a few fics and a few metas.

Underground - The gray character on that show helped me understand the villain obsession in most other fandoms... CATO!!!! Black Panther - That was such a moment. Mostly voyeur in the fanworks, but my most viral post came out of BP. (It also pulled me fanworks-wise into the MCU).

Lovecraft Country - Never wrote fic but loved the discourse. The Old Guard - They've taken so long I've lost interest, but I did love this group. Best centuries-long canon soulmates in Joe x Nicky

Interview with the Vampire - So much toxic, so much angst, the first universal Black man "babygirl" in a big fandom?? I think so... Arguably maybe Chidi on the Good Place as well. If an Octavia Butler fandom existed, I would totally be absorbed in that too. Unfortunately... *sobs*

Hayden 🕊

Trigger Warning...

They've confirmed that she passed as a result of a drug overdose... Viola Davis made this lovely statement about her:

What an amazing talent you were....so gifted. Julius and I loved working with you....an old, wise soul with such a deep heart. I wish the world had more time with you because I had a burning curiosity about who you were becoming. I saw this beautiful Phoenix rising from the ashes. Your tests became your testimony, and your testimony became your legacy. You will be remembered. Rest well, Hayden. Sending healing prayers to your family, your daughter, and all who loved you. May they always speak your name...
#hayden panettiere#it's not my expertise#but I do feel like underaged blondes in that industry get targeted#I remember sharon stone's reaction to whether she saw or went through anything as a young actress#the dark sarcasm she unleashed#and we all know about britney#and the boys too...aaron carter#hollywood is a dark place that targets bright people#tw: sa testimony

"What most people don't understand is our consciousness is not inside our bodies - our bodies are inside consciousness. Look and you will see this to be true, everything that happens, that you experience, that you are conscious of happens in your consciousness - how else would you know it is happening? So therefore consciousness is everything- ahh you say, but if I am looking at a mountain and so is my friend - we both can tell each other we are experiencing the same thing, how is that my consciousness? Because it is not 'your' consciousness- it is shared, we all share it with each other, with animals, trees, plants, rivers, starts and planets. We have been deceived into believing we are separate beings, navigating the world behind our skin looking out from our eyes. This is ridiculous - there is no separation, no barrier this is just imagined - there is simply what is."- Random YouTube comment in a video about the gateway tapes

STORM⚡IS MAYA BOYD

We have our Storm in Maya Boyd, and she can do this....

I was hoping for a tall Storm, but because of her ballet background... She will appear much taller and have fantastic posture aura, Storm requires. I am so excited for her.

Okay ignore me?! I had it in my head that she was 5'5?? Maybe because I got her mixed up with another actress. She's 5'8. And she can do this?! I think the MCU learned from Tom Holland.... THIS kinda weather pose wushu, she does?...

For the first time it'll match and surpass the animations.
