totally forgot to post this LMAOO

This is Gertrude, I made her for artfight. She's a colonial farmer with an unblinking stare who will not hesitate to shoot you if you trespass on her farm. She's also a lesbian. Slay.

& this is probably my favorite public statement ever released by any notable figure ever

Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.

shoutout to the time in 2021 I was having scary seizurelike episodes that sent me to the neurologist, after having barely slept all week due to being a nervous wreck over my symptoms and shit.

when I sat down to describe what I was going through to the (young, very soft spoken) phys assistant taking my notes I started audibly almost crying . The whole time he’s furiously working on a tablet thing that I assumed he was writing my symptoms down on

in the midst of me having a mild nervous breakdown during my monologue he slowly turns the tablet to me after closing whatever program he had open and just fuckin stare-smiles at me all placidly til I notice the wallpaper the laptop is set to— a lovingly decorated collage of Lord Farquaad from Shrek

once I noticed I stopped dead in my tracks and we sat there staring at another for a solid minute til I broke down wheeze laughing, upon which he picked up the tablet and scurried off wordlessly. I just sat there dumbfounded til the doc showed up. 10/10 doctor experience ngl

I didn’t own a phone at the time to get any proof so this my best artistic recreation

Please accept from The Board these inclusively re-canonicalized paintings intended to help you see yourself in Kier, our founder ... The Board wishes to express that I, Natalie, received the same gift upon receipt of my current position and found it extremely moving. SEVERANCE | 2x03 | Who Is Alive?

Often in shows like this when they have a black person in a position of power over a white cast, the media pretends there is nothing to this dynamic. I was worried it would be the same here, but they’ve actually started doing something interesting with it.

Milchick got his promotion because Cobel was fired. They didn’t let him earn it himself. It was a product of circumstance.

He was the one who had to do the dirty work handling the innies, while Cobel mostly sat at a desk giving orders. Now that he’s been promoted to Cobel's job, 'They' (whoever they is) continue to force him to do much of his old job still (apart from the child labor assistance).

They do not respect him enough to grant him the same courtesies they did Cobel. They won’t fix his screensaver. They made him run around town himself to fire/rehire the innies.

We see him in that scene where he's speaking with Natalie, and for a moment the veneer of ‘power’ and the Kier worship slips while he and Natalie share a moment of anger and fear. And suddenly they’re given a painful reminder of how they are seen by Them.

They are still othered, still black, in a soulless, corporate, white cult that sees them as so Far from their concept of God that ‘They’ felt the need to alter the very face of their God to help Milchick feel part of the cult and "see himself" in Kier.

And then They told Natalie how she should feel about being given this same "gift". Literally put the words in her mouth and forced her to recite them to Milchick. Natalie is the voice of The Board at the cost of her own voice.

I'm hoping for their backstories and that they continue to explore this dynamic. And that this show does it the justice it deserves.
