when did we as a society start allowing a sandwich to cost sixteen dollars? eighteen? I know I've paid twenty-one dollars for a sandwich at this point. is this just the world now? sandwich prices don't come down like gas prices. they go up & up & up. good luck to us all

Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

Hey hey been following for a few years and especially love your "hood gothic" tag! 😊👌🏾 besides horrorcore (because I'm already including it in the playlist), do you know any good songs or artists that would fit this theme?

Hey! Thanks for following and thanks for the question.

When I think of the sound of “hood gothic” I think a lot more broadly of Southern Rap in general. I’m from North Alabama and that Memphis sound was dominant when I was growing up (mid/late 90s, early 2000s). So that’s my starting point.

If you’ve already included “horrorcore” I’ll assume Three Six Mafia and Geto Boyz are covered.

“Aggravated Robbery” by Project Pat literally sounds like the score for a horror movie.

More Memphis: “9 Little Millimeta Boys” and “Pimps in the House” by 8Ball & MJG. “EZ Come EZ Go” by M.C. Mack. “Miss White Cocaine” by Lil Sko.

Some GA/AL: “Vica Versa” by Pastor Troy. “Trial Time” by The Last Mr.Bigg.

I don’t think this is what you’re going for, but I’d even loop more regional stuff like chopped n screwed there as well.
