>> to fight back against his cruelty. Made monstrous by his acts of faith. In what exactly? His own might and power to call god to his will. To mold god into his image. Make her small enough to fit his narrow notions. Nothing holy about it. Never possessed. Just sick. That priest murdered her. #REC

, his fanaticism, led to him kidnapping an extremely ill child from the hospital to then perform multiple acts of medical torture on her. Only giving up when he made her patient X of the zombie apocalypse. Nothing spiritual about it. Certainly nothing holy. Only leaving when the girl could begin >>

I choose to believe that the madman priest from #REC — who tried to create a biological model for demon possession (what a wrongheaded endeavor all around) and created a zombie plague as a side effect — was wrong from the very beginning. There were//are no demons, unless you fought himself. His fury

>> Anniversary’s explanation of why the U.S. voluntarily turned itself into a one-party state basically amounts to “some lady wrote a real persuasive book.”

The Handmaid’s Tale’s vision of the future is chilling because it’s rooted in prejudices and social structures that exist now, and it depicts exactly how these forces might be weaponized to convince millions of Americans to willingly surrender their democracy while rolling over those who refuse. >>

'Anniversary' Review: Democracy Dies in This Incredulous Thriller
Jan Komasa's 'Anniversary' is a curious thing: an overtly political film that’s hesitant to express its own political sentiments.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

I’m reminded again that these are people with a great deal of privilege finding the idea of wellness checks intolerable — not expecting them to happen to their kind(s) of people. Monied people. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily

I would love to see adult adoptees perspective on this mom, on these parents. Because this sounds disturbing too. I hear her identifying with the Stauffers too. And she made a Reddit thread??? This is still troubling. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily

“Dissolution” feels like such an overly neutral euphemism. Very bureaucratic. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily // I don’t know what to do with this couple who was part of the dissolution of the adoption of their prev child (2nd adoptee?). I hear them taking on too much, from the beginning. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily

And the internet doesn’t forget. “If it’s ever existed online, people will find it.” // Wellness checks have happened with less evidence, with less concern. But these usually happen to parents with considerably less power and privilege. // did all of this happen around same time as Wayfair rumors?

When someone puts many hours of their parenting online and monetizes their adopted kiddo, they shouldn’t be surprised when the internet analyzes these hours of footage. Might have been the only way accountability could have happened. Poor H. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily #DocumentaryYellingWithKat

The media storm, re: the Stauffer parents abandoning their adopted child, feels very turnabout is fair-play. And it’s definitely anger-inducing. For once, the internet had good reasons to be pissed in real time; this outcome was predictable from the beginning. Including haters. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily

Being the transracial international adoptee preschool age child of extremely online and visible to the public parents made H. extremely vulnerable. #AnUpdateOnOurFamilyDoc

And here’s where the warning signs are big 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩: parents of autistic kiddos who film their everyday lives for the internet to consume. That gets scary for these kiddos so quickly. #AnUpdateOnOurFamily

Damn, I’m adding this to my long list of reasons why functioning labels are extremely unhelpful for parents learning their child is autistic via formal diagnosis. Here all hearing H. “Has level 3 autism” did was promote fear and lower expectations for this kiddo who’d already been through so much. >

I also suspect // vaguely remember H. being pushed down the overly intrusive way too intense pipeline of intensive ABA (aka 40 hours a week, for years on end — whose founders sought to make young children indistinguishable from their non-Autistic peers). This narrative is all-too-familiar.
