People in positions of power and influence — that includes funders and media figures and professors and nonprofit leaders and elected officials — need to deploy an ethic of responsibility with regard to these matters. There are situations in which explicit consideration of race is essential because you have genuine, specific evidence of discrimination. I don’t know whether Nathan Connolly’s claims of discrimination in home appraisal will ultimately stand up to scrutiny, but the evidence he’s presented is persuasive, and importantly for our purposes, he’s trying to demonstrate specific race-based discrimination, not a situation that disproportionately impacts Black Americans because they are on average poorer. But we should be cognizant that it is potentially counterproductive to deliberately increase the salience of race when it’s not necessary. I think that most of the people who do this are responding to an objective incentive structure, and I think that structure was set up mostly with good intentions, but it’s actually deleterious to the interests of the people it’s supposed to be helping.

It’s so funny that Tim is the Most Likely to Become a Supervillain of the Batfam. Like I agree, this is definitely true. However Jason is Right There and he’s trying his BEST alright?

Nesta cries out when his teeth grace her ear lobe after he tells her that Tita Noonya is already admonishing him for not feeding his wife more.

“She said feed me, not eat me,” Nesta chides, voice dangerously close to breaking into a laugh.

They’ve been touching casually as they dance, the space between their bodies growing smaller and smaller. Now, as Nesta fights the foreign urge to laugh, she realizes Cassian has wrapped his arms around her middle and has her back pressed firmly against his chest. Cassian’s body shakes against hers as he smothers his reaction, hiding his smile by ducking his forehead to her shoulder.

Just a laundry list of stuff from the Terror scripts that doesn’t nearly get as talked about as much as it should and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem

The way that neptune’s shit in front of hickey is LITERALLY a revenge shit. Puppy knew puppy always knew- but also how neptune is so beautifully and carefully tied into scenes like. The script loved this dog. So fucking much ("we put up with it because the captain loves it" DAMN RIGHT!!!! THATS HIS DOOOOOOG).

As much as I hate these bitches: that extended scene with Sir John and Lady Jane???? Him in bed with the flu and they are literally the picture of casual tenderness and affection and I might never recover from it. He literally asks her to stowaway like I CANNOT with that shit it’s so unbelievably cute. "I'm ill, Jane" will haunt me forever.

Sofia’s “you should marry a pole, not a woman”??? YYYYYYYOWCH

Also the change your jacket before you come down to dinner bit to Francis that was carried over from the book makes me go insane. Yes. Change your whole self to make yourself presentable to good society and then you can be with us. Yeah. Sooo fucking normal (I am yanking that man away from Sofia with my fucking teeth on the scruff of his neck).

Also. The Pelgar Bridgens romance. Is so real. Show gets so subtle with it I read it as a storge kinda bromance first go around but script loved these two guys being in love so much and it was beautiful that it was literally written queer love from the get go. And put up against Hickey and Gibson it’s a stark and beautiful and TRAGIC as fuck contrast. Like show showed it well but the way it was actually written is ascendant to me.

JFJ being at home in combat. Jesus fucking christ. And the crown of thorns. Jesus was a man riddled with scurvy and his name was james fitzjames. also the splinter thing he literally carries the ship with him in the most painful way possible. christ alive.

i think my fatal flaw is that i truly believe that no matter who reads it literally everybody can benefit from reading orv. like even tho it’s such a simple message the thought that no matter what I am Loved and Important and i Will survive no matter what was smth that hit me so hard especially in the context orv does it (trying to be spoiler free) making me feel Seen and helped in a way that no other media has. idk. i love kim dokja so much guys
