this is getting concerning no i do not want to coddle a man like a child nor do i want him to control me and make all my decisions. have none of you considered maybe a man who is nice to you and treats you well and respects you. just a thought

[positivewlwvibes]

and forget everyone that i’ve met

and i’ll never be open again

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I sought loneliness when I was young. You've seen me there: on my promontory, patient and unaware.  But when I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.  I love you, and I love you, and I want to find out what that means together. 

this is how you lose the time war

favourite books of 2023:

“plain bad heroines”

emily m. danforth

“that version, as with so many of the stories we tell about our history, erased a woman – a plain, bad heroine – in favor of a less messy and more palatable yarn about two feuding brothers from new england.”

Oyeyemi’s novel might be considered as a “writing back” to the diseased body of contemporary vampire-candy fiction of romanced teenagers and beautiful normal monsters. Her use of the Caribbean mythology of the soucouyant subverts the Anglo-American vampiric tradition and, at the same time, invigorates the genre by injecting it with new blood. Oyeyemi avoids tame and glamorized vampire representations and the reproduction of dominant heterosexual values and gendered norms. By polluting the purity of the white, heteronormative vampire, Oyeyemi has created, through the character of Miranda, a female vampire who occupies a complex, queer subjectivity and struggles to disentangle herself from the trauma of racism and the limitations of Western femininity. In reconfiguring the vampiric matriarchs as British and racist, Oyeyemi writes back against xenophobic responses to “other” places as the origin of vampires or the construction of colonial subjectivity during imperialism as monstrous and “other.” In this respect, Oyeyemi seeks to return to the horror of the vampire, while resisting the gothic’s traditional authority to inscribe monstrosity on dark, foreign others. Instead, she locates vampirism in the unhomely space of 29 Barton Road, where the color white is the marker of gothic terrors and repressed racism, in order to address the historical present.

Aspasia Stephanou, “Helen Oyeyemi’s White is for Witching and the Discourse of Consumption”
