American Horror Story: Coven 3x08  |  “The Sacred Taking”

cinematic masterpiece

top surgery recovery has given me a lot of time to think, which is both epic and not. Been thinking a lot about past selves, past experiences, and how they all led up to me being the person I am today. I dont like the “I was born in the wrong body” rhetoric because I think it removes the agency for trans people to self-determination of our identities, nor do I like trans identities to be reduced to our bodies. I was that little girl, and I am not ashamed of her, nor was she ever my enemy. We do not have to reject our past selves to validated in our current selves, and I will continue to cherish the little girl in my head because she helped me become the person I am now <3

A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!

How much tenderness...

In Beyoncé’s “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” Beyoncé clearly starts that “This ain’t Texas”. If that’s the case, where does the song take place?

We have a few clues. First we know there’s a tornado, which puts it in one of seven states in Tornado alley. You can rule out Texas.

Second, we know there was a heat wave. Now the most recorded heat waves in 2023 (most likely when the song was written) were in Louisiana on July 30, Kansas on August 19 and 25, and Oklahoma on August 17.

This song can only take place in one of these states. But still we have more information give that we know she was in a basement, which rules out Louisiana given that both Texas and Louisiana have soil types that eliminate basements being built in the states commonly.

That leaves Oklahoma and Kansas.

Which brings us to our final piece of information in the song, that this has spurs, furs, and boots which means it must be a state close to Texas, mimicking Texas culture, which also has prominent gambling (as we see she talks about it not being hold em, but cards are still involved). This leads us to conclude that the state we’re in must have rampant casinos, which can only mean one state.

If we rule out everything else, take only the facts into consideration, and completely misread the song…

Texas Hold ‘Em can only take place in Oklahoma.

im jesus

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
