That overwhelmingly safe feeling when you’re sitting in the back seat of the car at night while your parents drive. Maybe you’re on your way home, maybe you’ve just finished up a long day on the road during a family vacation and you drift in and out of sleep while the yellow street lights ebb in and out over your head. I wish that feeling lasted forever.
White women, do me a favor and read this.
This line, in particular, gutted me:
We eat eggs and I tell Y about how when I was 8 years old, I taught my white friend, B (actually called Becky), how to count to 10 in Urdu. How at school the next day she looked at her feet as she shuffled past me, and the white teacher pulled me aside and asked me why I was bullying Becky, because Becky’s mum said I was bullying Becky, and that maybe it would be best if I didn’t sit next to her anymore. She suggested this with the kind of half-arsed, sad-eyed, apologetic shrug that white women perform when it is less of a scene to administer psychological warfare against a brown child than it is to challenge your fellow white woman.
That was my entire childhood.

the good place writers really just said we will write a show so good so fresh so original so funny so clever so compassionate so full of new n interesting plot points n characters and we will develop the characters so well and the plot will be well written with meaningful n clever plot twists and we will have four seasons of it and end it like we always planned instead of milking the show’s popularity and tbh fuck other writers I RESPECT YOU!

bro not to start again on names but u ever think abt how some names have been used for centuries, millenniums even...like how many times has the earth heard a mother calling, 'alexander!'...how many times have the stars caught a lover whispering, 'freyja'...how many times has the ground we've walked on and continue to walk on felt vibrations of a friend excitedly yelling, 'mary!'
