if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.

you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.

even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on

do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?

i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate

anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend

“There’s another option,” Matt says, with a slight grimace. “You just said there were no options,” Ned frowns. “Like, just barely.” His eyes find Foggy. “He said there were no options, right?” “This idea is very bad,” Foggy says, helpfully. “So bad that it barely counts as an option.” Ned sighs. "Right." -- OR: There are parts of Ned Leeds that are missing. As long as nobody pokes at them, he'll keep on running just fine.

Antigonish

He wants nothing more than to go home.

But home isn’t home anymore. Home is across the river in Queens. Home is a cold cemetery.

Home is now empty and silent.

Not empty. The shadow is there. The shadow will be there waiting for him to return.

[OR: Peter works on picking up the pieces after Strange's spell while also contending with a mysterious shadow in his apartment.]
