Not to mention that the comic feels like a racist co-opt of Everett's work.

And for folx to understand the historic undertones of the harm of her comic and her double-down, I highly rec Ruby Hamad's book.

Seems as great a time as any to invite folx to read a story about clandestine action as a valid revolutionary practice.

(Re)watching S1 in prep for S2 coming on Jan 30. Now that I'm more intentionally informed and learned in Falesteeni history and experience, S1 hits harder and at moments funnier.

So much to dissect about this promo graphic, too.

It's stories like What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez by Claire Jiménez that remind me that becoming a parent has made me more empathetic to characters who are parents.
