jhameiaThat Elizabeth Moon essay. I don't even. What. The. Fuck.
I just read Edward Said's chapter "On Defiance and Taking a Position" and I read it after a particularly trying article which was classist AND racist (I had a chat with another classmate about this article earlier today) and I gotta say, after reading the clusterfuck that was Moon's essay (and that troll in comments, who actually said that Japanese-Americans who submitted quietly to interment camps showed commendable behaviour, that that is how good citizens should behave in the face of a threatened state), I need a panacea of equal measure.
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ.
UGH.
HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY, EVERYBODY.
h/t from Jeff Vandermeer, MOON JUST DELETED THE COMMENTS!!!!
