What if she had been telling the truth? What if I really was someone else? Someone beautiful and powerful. Someone buried alive and suffocating to death. Very far away, on the other side of the television screen.

so much of the horror genre is informed by the metaphor of queer/transness as monstrousness. especially emphasizing the amount of horror that depends on the audience's repulsion at seeing a human body changing into a new, other body. I Saw the TV Glow is about the horror of NOT transitioning. the horror of static. the horror of looking into yourself and being terrified of what you see. the horror of seeing who you are and choosing to do nothing about it. the horror of looking away. and by god is it terrifying.

I often think about how Lewis said he personally called so many drivers in 2020 and personally asked them to kneel for BLM. I think about how he said he personally tried to explain the protest to them and answer all their questions. I think about how he felt when so many of them still declined. I think about how he was fined for wearing shirts for BLM. I think about how F1 stopped him from wearing a shirt that simply said "Justice for Breonna Taylor." because F1 wanted to 'de-politicise' the sport. I think about how when they asked Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of F1, about Lewis' activism, he said F1 is not racist and he does not "Percieve" the racism Lewis is talking about.

I think about how Nelson Piquet, who was fined $1 million for racially abusing Lewis on video was *banned* from the paddock. I think about how he just showed up to the paddock today clearly wearing a paddock pass and hanging out outside of Red Bull, not even hiding inside.

I think how this is all so symptomatic of how rotten to the core F1 is. How Lewis being the most successful driver in the history of the sport did not spare him from this.

the dutch passport is literally the 3rd strongest in the world. i don't think i need to mention that they're also colonizers. for max verstappen's dumb white ass to say he has the wrong passport at a time in the world when so many countries are anti-immigration and there is an insane amount of discrimination based on one's passport is not only stupid but really fucking gross. to imply he's being discriminated against for it for getting his first penalty in literal years is INSANE. i know it's too much to expect him to give a shit about what's happening in the world, but his stans defending him is disgusting as fuck. a white european man declaring that he got a rightfully given penalty due to having the wrong passport is disgusting i don't care what anyone says.

let me get this straight. there's been a genocide ravaging the middle east for the past year with no sign of stopping, climate change is swallowing entire cities whole, and a fascist that wants to criminalize my existence might win this upcoming election. and i'm just supposed to... go to class? eat three meals a day? do my laundry? while the entire world is dying? how tf is zoloft meant to help me deal with this.
