“…nothing is ever made available only to black people, no matter how hard we may try to cultivate the esoteric or mimic the proprietary. We have no sanctuary for such contemplation. I do not think black artists are saying that this is their exclusive province, but rather that they wrestle with the ethical question of representing the victims and effects of anti-black violence in ways that few non-black people (and maybe even many black people) ever come to appreciate. Meanwhile, what is taken to be black is taken for granted, openly available to all. That is a matter of virtually unrepresentable power, but it is also a structural impossibility to forestall the dissemination of signs, for better or worse.”

— Jared Sexton, “The Rage: Some Closing Comments on ‘Open Casket’”

I wish I was the manager of a safehouse for a covert organization... all I would have to do is to keep living in my house in Mediodelanada, Argentina like I already do until some heroes come in all bloodied and I'm like "rough day, no che?", give them some drinks and questionable first aid, if they have sexual tension (of course they do they're heroes) I'll be like "come on, just share the bed", I'll tell them about my quirky conspiracies about what's Really Going On At HQ and I might even be right. Of course no matter if I tell them "you can stay all you want just don't drink all the booze" I'll probably be killed overwhelmed by the enemy who somehow found us while clearing their escape, but never mind I'll be beloved by my brief appearance and quirky character. I just feel that's a job I could do, I think it would be more satisfactory than my current job, I might even do it on the side
