still the worst at replying

Hey, I read that book! You make a very good point about supernatural oppressions existing alongside RL ones. Unfortunately the story/writing itself was not really my cup of tea, but I quite enjoyed the mere fact that it exists. Community is another show that regularly has POC-dominated scenes, and often really does acknowledge the axes of privilege and oppression the characters exist along -- but it's also fucked up plenty, too. :/ ♥ATLAAAAA♥

One day I might write a post about where, for me, limitations in a text turns into fail, or why certain use of oppressive/problematic language or depictions of ~isms work and when they don't.

Oh, do, do! I seem to be coming back to thoughts like this a lot lately, and I'm sure your take would be more articulate than mine.
