Castiel CHOOSING to let his vessel age alongside Sam and Dean. He first excuses this by convincing himself he's only doing it to not stand out and it's saving his grace. That it's wasteful to constantly keep rejuvenating cells when he could be using that power elsewhere. It simply makes the most sense, especially when he falls from Heaven to help aid Dean Winchester. The years go by and the vessel is no longer just a vessel, it's his body and he likes experiencing the human process of aging. The wrinkles he's getting at the corner of his eyes, the laugh lines on his cheeks from smiling at Dean's antics, the grey hairs starting to dust his hair. He loves experiencing this part of humanity. Sam and Dean don't notice how odd it is Castiel is aging alongside them. They're human, so they don't think anything of someone aging until it's brought to their attention by someone Castiel is an angel-- vessels don't age. Or at least, they shouldn't. Dean thinks something has to be wrong with Cas' grace, that Cas has been hiding he's hurt or something fatal but Cas tells him there's nothing to worry about. He chose it. He could at the snap of his fingers restore the body back to its original state when he first possessed Jimmy Novak but he doesn't want to. Dean asks why doesn't he. I mean, aging isn't exactly glamourous and it's something a lot of humans would want to skip out on. Cas answers by saying, "I wanted to because... because it makes me feel more like I belong", but Dean notices his stutter. Cas' answer is satisfactory, but Dean knows Cas and he knows when Cas is hiding the full truth. Which causes him to think Cas is lying about something important he should know about and he's determined to find out what.

What Cas doesn't want Dean to know is that maybe back in 2009 he started letting his vessel age to conserve grace where he could or so he wouldn't stand out amongst the Winchesters or make himself seem more alien than he already did. But the real reason he let his vessel age (which he's aware of now) is because he wanted grow old alongside the man he loves and this was as close as he could get to the fantasy.

Summary

In the fall of 1983, Nancy Wheeler rejects Steve Harrington, thus sparing him from the terrifying world of the Upside Down. Until Summer of 1985, that is, when what was supposed to be mind-numbingly boring two months of slinging ice cream promptly turns into a task of decoding a secret Russian message with his two closest friends and a strange kid that never shuts up. Or, an alternative universe in which Steve Harrington gets to live his normal life for an additional year and a half, grow as a person, make new friends and fall in love along the way.

Ilhan Omar Hears A Different Chant: raceAhead

Here’s your totally crowd-sourced week in review, in haiku.

Your face in the cloud Means privacy is fleeting Time to get offline? – Jessica Helfand

Jerry loved ‘Pac, but Iowa roses don’t bloom. It’s his turn to leave – Hugh Weber

Trump waves racist flag To obscure squalor, torture Of border camp kids – @defcon_5

Heat is upon us So sweltering, so constant When will coolness come? – Ellen Stark

Watching CATS trailer Judy, Idris, Ian, James What were they thinking? – Ellen Stark

small victory news trafficker was denied bail his homies ghosted – Nicole Sanchez

fifteen bucks an hour the underserved deserve it so do senators – Paolo Guadino

Thank you for all the crowdsourced love this week! Have a cool and supportive weekend. I am grateful for all of you.

On Point

Rep. Ilhan Omar hears a different chant After days of attacks by the president and being subject to the racist chant, “Send her home!” by the crowd at a Trump election rally, the Somalian-American lawmaker was met at the airport in her home state with cheers of “Welcome home, Ilhan!” Omar has been receiving death threats since her election, some have been quite serious. Her colleagues continue to fear for her safety. Republican lawmakers have done little to stop the president’s attacks. Now, Trump falsely claims that he asked the crowd to stop the ugly chant. The Guardian

Not all diversity outcomes are created equally A new study finds that the very people who add “diversity” to teams aren’t having good experiences on them. Researchers from Michigan State University and University of Michigan looked at diversity on science teams in two categories: demographic (race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and nationality) and industry background (career stage, academic discipline, and tenure on the team). Then, a sample of 266 participants from 105 National Science Foundation-funded environmental science teams answered in-depth questionnaires. “Participants with more underrepresented demographic characteristics, such as black women or gay men not born in the United States, perceived their team climate—or attitudes and expectations on the team—to be more negative.” MSU Today

Journalism matters, the R. Kelly edition Today marks the one week anniversary of the day the disgraced singer was arrested by federal agents and indicted on 13 accounts, including child pornography. Turns out, the federal investigation was born after a Homeland Security agent watched Surviving R. Kelly, the searing docuseries by filmmaker dream hampton. Says a source, the agent was “looking at the victims’ interviews and realized that ‘this is so much bigger than [what] he has previously been charged with.’” Kelly was ordered to be held without bond on Tuesday. Vice

On Background

How black chefs are changing food In addition to make you hungry, this wonderful piece from John Eligon and Julia Moskin will also make you proud. The 16 black chefs profiled are forging new foodways, drawing from a variety of overlooked or diminished traditions, and breaking away from the limiting idea that black chefs must always reflect the food of the American South. It’s a delicious trend: Some 17% of chefs are black, and the number of black-owned food establishments increased by nearly 50% between 2007 and 2012. “It’s up to us to be transparent with our information and our techniques, and pass along to the next generation,” said Mashama Bailey, executive chef at The Grey in Savannah, Ga., and the winner of this year’s James Beard award for Best Chef: Southeast. “We got to kind of strike while the iron’s hot right now.” New York Times

Colson Whitehead takes the fucker down again I’ve been eagerly awaiting Colson Whitehead’s latest novel, The Nickel Boys, which tells the horrifying inspired-by-true-events story of two black boys who were sent to an abusive reform school in Florida that operated during Jim Crow. But this interview with the author is the perfect way to get Whitehead back in your head; Literary Hub explores the nuts and bolts of his writing habits (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.); what’s occupying his imagination (Mars); and how he deals with writer’s block. “The element of surprise is key, and a carefully considered angle of approach. Speed is a big factor,” he advises. “Then you just ram into it and take the fucker down. Planning, cunning—these skills will come in handy when humanity makes its leap forward into the uncharted universe within.” Lit Hub

Pardon me, white man. How’s whiteness working for you? Claudine Rankin is contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine and a professor of poetry at Yale. But this piece explores whiteness, an idea which has come into sharp relief for her after developing and teaching a class called Constructions of Whiteness for two years. It was a way to participate in the growing field of whiteness as a study; the universal construct of a specific kind of institutionalized power. The creation of that class alone is instructive, and then Rankin decides to do the kind of “field work” that will be very familiar to many of you. “Perhaps this is why one day in New Haven, staring into the semicircle of oak trees in my backyard, I wondered what it would mean to ask random white men how they understood their privilege.” New York Times

Quote

“We are going to continue to be a nightmare to this president, because his policies are a nightmare to us. And we are not deterred, we are not frightened, we are ready.”

—Rep. Ilhan Omar
