New bedtime routine: Shower, brush teeth, moisturize, recite Litany Against Fear from Dune out loud in the mirror, read A Litany for Survival by Audre Lorde in complete silence under a big lamp, materialize in bedroom to do 10 dracula sit ups 10 werewolf push ups 10 Frankenstein squats and 3 little circles on the bed, look out the window toward an eerie light source that represents the false promise of the American Dream, park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me

Well!

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.

for a while now i’ve been learning that some people kind of choose to hate themselves like you can give them tools and resources and advice and they’ll even follow some of it and go “i still hate myself” and i feel strongly at that point they’re kind of choosing to stay in that mindset because it’s comfortable and familiar or something but some people are truly [gotye voice] addicted to a certain kind of sadness and hooked on feeling low

w... wait hold on... jotaro was SEVENTEEN during his whole arc?? I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE 25!

jotaro was only 17 in part 3 and it ruined his entire life, and i think about this all the time

at risk of reading too much into arakis work, whose deepest message may simply be ‘big men punch really good and hard,’ part three really did a number on jotaro and took what was an already burgeoning tendency to self-isolate and made it into a full fledged complex that set him down the path to a bad end and im still not over it!!!
