#and Derek…

Okay storyline-wise the Teen Wolf movie wasn’t good. Too many characters, too much story to cover in two hours. Lots of details just slipped through the cracks and it was incredibly hard to follow.

But also, can we talk about the actual quality? Because it was TERRIBLE. Sound was horrible. Couldn’t hear half the dialogue. It kept getting loud and then quiet and then loud again. The cuts and transitions were awful. The editing was truly cringe-worthy. The music/sound effects were absolutely so weird and also cringe-worthy. I feel like I just watched one of those fan-made movies but with the actual cast of the show. I mean seriously, how low was the budget? Because the special effects and backgrounds were so incredibly fake they looked like an eighth grade YouTuber did them.

I’m not even gonna get started on dialogue, costumes, and plot holes… I’m choosing to pretend this movie never happened. Jeff Davis could have done so much better. And I would’ve preferred he never did this at all.

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

When I was in college, round about 2002 or so, I did a paper on hate groups that necessitated a couple of visits to Stormfront, a white supremacist website and message board. One of the pages on the site was a "children's page" operated by the child of Storrmfront's founder, which was a unique form of horrifying. But I also remember looking at a photo of the kid on the site and thinking, that poor fuckin' kid, what kind of chance did he ever have?

But it was just a paper and that was just a photo of a child I didn't know, so I turned in the paper and graduated and got on with life.

In 2016, @archwrites posted a link to an article by the Washington Post titled "The White Flight of Derek Black" (sorry about the paywall, Arch's post quotes some relevant parts here). I thought it looked like an interesting read: it was about a white supremacist named Derek Black and a group of campus activists at the school Black eventually attended, who set out to see if they could change his mind about race with radical kindness. In large part because of their work, Black eventually renounced white supremacy and became an antiracist.

And then I hit a photo in the article and gasped, because I recognized it. I'd seen the same photo on the Stormfront children's website. The kid I'd seen and pitied was grown up and had gotten out. Immensely satisfying to see.

But it was just a news story about someone I didn't even know, so I posted about how pleased I was to see it, and I got on with life again.

This morning, I woke to the news (sorry, it's the Daily Fail) that R. Derek Black, now 35, has just published a memoir, The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism. And in the epilogue, they come out as trans.

I can't imagine better news I could have heard about them -- that they're out, they're thriving, and they're embracing themself.

Congratulations, kid. It's a great new photo.
