10000/10 WOULD RESURRECT ROCK AGAIN

[eretzyisrael]

The funniest part of the Mondoweiss article was a selfie of co-author Seth Morrison smiling in front of the matzoh display with his "Palestine 1948" T-shirt. His smile makes it look like he is promoting the matzoh, not boycotting it! This is way beyond activism and well into obsession territory. No one on Earth thinks that Palestinians are helped one iota from these ridiculous stunts, and it is obvious to all who care to think about it that this is not  animated by concern for Palestinian human rights but visceral hate for the Jewish state. Trader Joe's sells other Israeli products, including their own branded Bamba snack and "Israeli Feta Cheese."  Horrors! I can't wait for Sukkot when the haters start a campaign to boycott Israeli etrogim.

I hate that I have to make this post and idk maybe this is common knowledge but I didn't know before last night and I occasionally see skillet recommended as good Christian rock music and young emos listening to skillet so I just want to share.

I went to the kingdom bound music festival last night. I went specifically for skillet but the group of people I was with wanted to see the groups playing before them and the speakers. I'm not Christian. That's not something I would have watched on my own but like I said everyone else wanted to see it. Well it turns out one of the speakers was the lead singer for skillet, John Cooper. I don't particularly want to repeat the things that he said but it was pretty clear that he thinks parents shouldn't allow their children to transition and that gender is binary and was making fun of anything else (32 genders, how can roe v wade getting overturned be oppressive towards women when women aren't real). He also made a comment which implied to me that he is homophobic as well (it was basically "if you're struggling with your own gender or sexuality or [he listed a bunch of other stuff here] you can come join us in the worship tent after the show and we'll pray with you and help you through it").

Later during the actual concert which was real fucking hard to enjoy knowing the lead singer and the entire audience literally hates my existence he mentioned how important the topic of suicide is to him which like....don't be transphobic then? Like lgbt youths who don't get support at home especially those trans kids you don't want to let transition are the ones who are committing suicide. Like you want to look at the Bible for how to react to issues? The Bible says to love thy neighbor as thyself. You could be giving these kids a loving, accepting home in the church, in god, when they can't find one in their actual home and instead you get up on stage and you preach hate.

You wanna know why I'm not Christian? It's because everytime I walk into a church I have to wonder if they would hate me if they knew who I loved.

BELOVED - 1998

i was just thinking abt beloved heating up my pizza when i see a literal pro shipper say sethe is wrong for killing her child and that she should have just gone back to the plantation. and its an interesting desensitization to the horrors of slavery where you see being treated as chattel to be worked, beaten and sexually assaulted as a sensible choice over death. like 'oh just go back to the place where you were beaten nearly to death and assaulted by a bunch of men that's easy!' and its funny bc both that fucking idiot and the characters in the book have more revulsion for sethe than for the perpetrators of the other option. there was a high chance beloved would die at the hands of a slave master anyways like toni morrison isnt saying killing your children is the solution its that slavery is also death! it's death of the soul! and oftentimes death of the body! and the book doesn't even think sethe is noble like she suffers for her pride MULTIPLE ppl say this outright while also acknowledging the horrors of slavery. there is no 'right' answer there is literally no lesser evil......bc its fucking SLAVERY LIKE ARE U SHITTING ME RN

Felony bought a lotto ticket (she has a wish to win the lottery) and bumped into Seth looking a bit sad. Felony cheered him up and then sucked his plasma.

However, it was the opportunity to tour with music artist Sybil as a breakdancer, an influential high school art teacher, and a visit to the Louvre Museum in Paris that opened him up to new artistic and creative avenues.

Guys, I’m rewatching the Sharkando movies because I like cheesy and dumb movies and Kurt Angle was in the second and Chris Jericho is in the third. Seth Rollings is in number four. John Morrison is in the fifth one.

Hi! (Just to get in front of it, I'm not asking you for anything. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work and I SEE the decolonization in it. I'm definitely also neurodivergent, so forgive me if I over- or under-explain a point.) But I realize this is an Ask Me Anything... egad.

I'm working on a piece about Broken Earth for the Decolonizing the EcoGothic volume of the Gothic Nature Journal, and I just wanted to let you know that I am blown away by the way you tell stories. I was in a Gothic Horror (I'm really not that big of a Gothic literature nerd, I swear!) class while I was in graduate school last year and we read Toni Morrison's Beloved. That was the second time that I read that novel in particular, and the first time I read it I got hung up on Mama Suggs. Her character and her ceremonies in the clearing were very powerful, and I couldn't put a pin in why until I read Broken Earth. Something about the connection between Essun and Alabaster's bodies transforming as a result of their magic use and the utter negation and abuse and colonization of the black body in both stories and historic times of slavery (and the prison industrial complex today, let's be real). Reading Broken Earth helped me understand that. So thank you.

I'm sorry this is turning into a mini essay, but I also wanted to mention another connection I found between the two on my second read (a connection I formed, I'm definitely not trying to say that I know for sure what you were going for because of course there's a lot to the stories) was between that of the characters Nassun and Denver. Near the end of the novel, after Beloved's ghost has all but taken everything from Sethe, Denver begins to step off of the safe porch and enter into the unsafe world alone for the first time to try and find help. She finds herself recalling a conversation that she heard between Baby Suggs and her mother:

“Oh, some of them [white people] do all right by us,” Sethe said. Baby suggs responds,

“And every time it’s a surprise, ain’t it? Don’t box with me. There’s more of us they drowned than there is all of them ever lived from the start of time. Lay down your sword. This ain’t a battle; it’s a rout” (287). Denver then asks the memory of her grandmother what she should do, then. “Know it, and go on out the yard. Go on,” her grandmother responds (288).

What should Denver, or Nassun, do with the knowledge that they will never truly be safe? She has to accept it, but go on anyway. One foot after another, and so on. I felt a bit of this driving Nassun after her father takes her away from their home in Tirimo... and I dunno. You and Toni Morrison both write stories that stick with me, personally, and make me think. And think and think.

Oh I'm also not assuming you've read Beloved, either. I'm sorry! I this is turning into a mess. I think I'll stop there. Just, thank you. For your stories and for your characters and for the story of Syl Anagist. I loved the Inheritance Trilogy also, I'm just very stuck on Broken Earth because of this piece I'm working on. Thank you! Sorry.

No need to apologize! But I can't answer your question because I haven't read Beloved. Read and loved several Morrison novels, but not that one. (I keep meaning to, but my Mount ToBeRead is the size of Everest and growing.) Both books are inspired by the same historical event, and I think because of that, folks who don't know about Margaret Garner reasonably assume I'm riffing on Morrison rather than reality. But nope, the Broken Earth trilogy is just one of several creative works that are in conversation with the Garner tragedy. Any similarities you see probably come from the fact that Morrison and I share a racial and gender identity, and had a similar reaction to realizing just how much our current lives are impacted by hidden historical horrors.

Even if I'd read Beloved, however, I probably wouldn't be able to answer your question. Lit crit is best done by people other than the author, IMO. We're too close to our work to tell you very much about it.

Monster girl October (tarot deck) day 17: Beloved from Toni Morrison's Beloved as the Strength card!

In Beloved, a woman named Sethe believes the ghost of her daughter has come back to her, but with this seeming miracle comes a reversal of roles as the past is dredged up. As Beloved becomes more powerful and strong, Sethe herself becomes weaker and more like a child. Beloved's power (and potential ghostliness) made me pick her as the Strength card!
