5 SECOND REVIEW
Tumblr media
* FUUUUUUUCK
* okay, so i've never been this angry, sad or heartbroken about a case in my life, and I would like to extend a heartfelt fuck you to the police, prosecution and trial judge involved in this mess
* i've read about a lot of fucked up shit, but this one takes the cake
* it's the story of three teenager boys hailing from a rural town in Arkansas, accused and later convicted, one of them with the death penalty, of killing 3 eight year olds
* nevermind there was zero physical evidence linking them to the murders, nevermind that one of them was coerced by the police into making a false confession, nevermind that witness testimony was false and fabricated, nevermind there was a stronger suspect that the police never thoroughly investigated, no. One of the teenagers was into heavy metal, Stephen King, and practiced Wicca - obviously this was a satanic, cult motivated murder and the other two were his accomplices
* i cannot express how many times i've yelled while reading this book and it's absolutely astounding to me how this story progressed
* it's a textbook study on the failings of the American justice system and how it always, always punishes the poor and underprivileged
* every single child involved in this story has been failed by the system and by the adults that should have been protecting them
* if you're thinking of picking this up, trigger warnings for graphic descriptions of how the victims died
* 5/5 ⭐️

"Come back, come back, we don't have time to fuck around"
The older I'm getting, the harder this line is hitting. I have been working on this piece for MONTHS. It was a little masochistic of me to make that many French knots on this big of a hoop, but in the end, the texture of them is perfect for the hedge effect in this piece inspired by Pruning Shears!

Also, please imagine Daniel being the one to say the line, which leads to Armand, whiny power bottom style, to moan, "Is that all you got?" Knowing full well that it'll get him everything 😘😎

"Feminist romance novels are everywhere. With so many options and so little time, sometimes it’s nice to have a list like this as a starting point. This is going to be a very fun list of delicious feminist romance books that you must pick up and read, but before all that, we must discuss the feminism of it all.
For the sake of this article, I am following Mikki Kendall’s approach to feminism in Hood Feminism. The idea is that committing to intersectional feminism that includes trans women, women of color, and disabled women means understanding feminist issues are inherently variable and not always immediately recognizable as feminist issues. Kendall explains, “A one-size-fits-all approach to feminism is damaging because it alienates the very people it is supposed to serve, without ever managing to support them” (3). So, while feminism is about the promotion of gender equality, that is just an element of feminism. The role of active feminists is to be aware that more than just a person’s gender impacts their access to rights and services. While I would also recommend reading bell hooks and other excellent feminist writers, I appreciate Kendall’s explanation here.
Feminist literary critics have also looked at how romance can talk about the complexities of feminist issues within their story framework. Avidly Reads Guilty Pleasures by Arielle Zibrak understands the ways romance novels are a source of feminine media culture some associate with shame and censure, reflecting that the Western world often diminishes feminine interests and pursuits. All that is to say, romances have been praised for centering feminist interests and issues like love, job security, equal partnership, and reproductive rights."

the way that i am fully a colin firth fan now all because i found someone's google drive of him like two months ago. honestly surprising i wasn't already a fan of him considering half the time his career is either 1) making fun of his career or 2) iconic queer cinema

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓’𝐒  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑  𝐆𝐎-𝐓𝐎  𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐎  &  𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐑  𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍?
Due  to  limited  resources  on  the  Isle  it  was  customary  to  use  2-in-1  shampoo  and  conditioners,  most  were  homemade  concoctions  but  for  those  that  didn’t  make  their  own  products,  they  were  purchased  from  hair  salons  and  barbershops  such  as  the  Curl  Up  &  Dye.  Harry  purchased  his  from  the  crew  surgeon  who  made  their  2-in-1  from  available  ingredients  such  as  fermented  orange,  lime,  or  lemon  skins,  fat  extracted  from  a  mutated  species  of  hickory  nut  that  grew  in  the  wetlands,  and  oil  extracted  from  a  kind  of  tree  sap.  Together  it  created  a  shampoo  and  conditioning  bar.  Despite  the  barrier’s  removal,  Harry  still  purchases  the  same  bar  from  the  crew  surgeon.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓  𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑  𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐒  𝐃𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  𝐔𝐒𝐄?
Before  the  barrier’s  removal,  Harry  used  an  organic  leave-in  conditioner  made  from  the  same  ingredients  as  his  shampoo  and  conditioner  bar  to  protect  his  hair  from  getting  fried  by  salt  water  and  other  harmful  rain  pollution  in  the  air.  After  the  barrier’s  removal,  he’s  gotten  his  hands  on  coconut  oil  treatments  and  sun  balm  conditioners  to  protect  his  hair  from  sunlight  and  from  being  fried  by  salt  water.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓  𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃  𝐎𝐅  𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒  𝐃𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  𝐔𝐒𝐄?
Harry  doesn’t  typically  go  out  of  his  way  to  purchase  fragrances  and  has  no  specific  fragrance  that  would  be  considered  his  “trademark”  scent.  The  only  time  he  chooses  to  wear  fragrances  is  for  formal  events  and  usually  ranges  from  warm,  spicy  scents  such  as  sandalwood  and  cinnamon,  to  fresher  scents  like  sea  salt  and  eucalyptus.  Generally,  however,  he’ll  just  use  whatever  he  gets  his  hands  on  at  the  time,  the  only  time  he’s  ever  purposeful  when  it  comes  to  fragrances  as  if  he’s  framing  someone  else  for  something  and  knows  that  scent  will  carry  some  kind  of  implication  in  the  matter.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓  𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐍  𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐒  𝐃𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  𝐔𝐒𝐄?
Prior  to  the  barrier’s  removal,  Harry  didn’t  use  any  kind  of  skin  care  products  which  caused  his  skin  to  become  weathered,  and  prone  to  a  somewhat  dry  texture.  With  the  barrier’s  removal,  he’s  taken  to  regular  use  of  sunscreen  and  unscented  moisturizing  lotion  to  affected  areas  of  dryness  like  his  nose  and  cheeks,  hands,  elbows,  and  knees.
𝐇𝐎𝐖  𝐃𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑  𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐍  𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒?
Harry  doesn’t  have  any  specific  kind  of  skin  condition  so  he  generally  just  uses  hydrating  organic  and  unscented  moisturizers  from  dry  patches,  and  sunscreen  to  prevent  sunburn.  When  he  does  get  sunburn  he’ll  turn  to  moisturizing  gels,  his  go-to  being  aloe  vera.  He  doesn’t  know  a  lot  about  skin  or  hair  products  and  generally  goes  off  of  recommendations  or  purchases  made  by  the  crew’s  surgeon.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓’𝐒  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑  𝐆𝐎-𝐓𝐎  𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄?
Again,  prior  to  the  barrier’s  removal,  Harry  relied  on  the  crew’s  surgeon  to  provide  homemade  toothpaste  crafted  from  recycled  ingredients  from  the  Auradon  barges,  or  from  other  available  materials  native  to  the  Isle.  Generally,  he  used  whatever  was  on  hand  at  least  twice  daily,  when  the  barrier  was  removed  and  they  gained  access  to  more  resources,  he’s  been  ordering  peppermint  antibacterial  toothpaste  from  a  recommended  supplier.
𝐇𝐎𝐖  𝐃𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃  𝐓𝐎  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑  𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒?
He  keeps  his  nails  short  at  all  times,  he  can’t  stand  having  longer  nails  as  they  tend  to  catch  on  fabrics  and  ropes,  so  he  clips  them  very  regularly.  He  doesn’t  really  tend  to  his  nails  as  much  as  he  tends  to  his  clippers  which  he  cleans  after  every  use.  Sometimes  his  nails  can  be  a  little  rough  immediately  after  cutting  them  because  he  doesn’t  file  them  but  they  tend  to  smooth  over  just  due  to  how  active  he  is  throughout  the  day.  He  washes  his  hands  pretty  often  and  by  extension  keeps  his  nails  clean.

I just watched the devils knot and I’m so infatuated and infuriated with the false convictions. They were in prison for 18 years because they dressed in black and listen to heavy metal music, and everyone ignored every other sign of the case, and made the three suspects fit the narrative or fit the target and it is the most infuriating thing ever
