Hasn’t hit the same since suegan split

Just read the chapter on Get Out and was surprised to find an interesting comparison between the film and this author’s experience being one of the only queer black journalists in Utah. Very interesting points on black body snatching in both literal horror stories and a more metaphorical experience of blackness in white, Mormon Utah.

a bit unconvinced there was any annie x melanie love in the birds but i resonated deeply with the description of anxiety in these ambiguous relationships. “I just could convince myself to stop” is such a mundane line in the movie that Laura Maw turned into a punch to the gut

Skipping around so that I’m not spoiling any movies for myself but the Jennifer’s body essay was pretty interesting. I expected more theory than personal anecdote but I do enjoy Carmen Maria Machado’s perspective and of course just generally her style of writing a lot.

hooked

awwwwwwwwwww

here we go again

LOL

One day you guys are going to open Goodreads and see that I finally finished this book. But that day is not today.

This is starting to stress me out it’s just continuously downhill
