"I had quite a bit of notes on this which I summarized with ChatGPT which actually maintained most of my wording, just cleaning up the structure a bit, but
Main thing I would want to point out in this update is that hooks has been talking about how black women after emancipation are still seen as hyper sexual objects and assaulted relentlessly, with a mythos paralleling that of black men seen in porn today" — Jun 10, 2026 02:41PM

“In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God.
And He went away.”
― Cat’s Cradle
