You're a little obsessed with yourself, aren't you?

well no one else is gonna do it

What if the cat was the FIRST ghost child? When coraline lost her parents, what if that happened to him and he realised it was pointless so he took out his own eyes and put it into a cat that she had made in the world for him. Which is why she resents cats now enough to call them vermin?

That has to be one of the most interesting theories, if not the most interesting, for the film and/or book – I honestly don’t know what else to say

Happy Out of Touch Thursday 

[palesandwichobject]

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

#SAVETHESOCIETY

The Society follows the story of a group of teenagers who struggle to survive after they’re mysteriously transported to a facsimile of their hometown with no trace of their parents. 

Busloads of West Ham high school students head off for an extended camping trip while the Federal Government deal with the mysterious and irritating smell permeating the town, but a storm forces them to return home. Upon their return, the teens realise that all of the town’s residents are gone and that while local phones and texting work, they are electronically cut off from the rest of the world. Their newfound freedom is fun at first, but it quickly becomes dangerous. While they struggle to figure out what has happened to them and how to get the town back to normal, the teens must establish order and form alliances in order to survive.

Although it was renewed for a second season by its streaming service over a year ago (July 2019), Netflix have now rescinded this decision due to the ongoing pandemic, citing scheduling, cast and financial issues, despite still renewing other shows and films that should surely face the same issues. 

The cancellation of The Society leaves viewers with countless questions, and is made even more painful when its taken into account the fact that the scripts had already been written and both the cast and fans were given false hope for months on end. 

In an effort to save the fan favourite series that features representation for both the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, and a complex plot that raises questions of morality, politics, leadership, etc, fans have taken to Twitter with the #SaveTheSociety and #RenewTheSociety hashtags to make some noise. 

We suggest also tweeting other streaming platforms such as Hulu, Amazon Prime Video & HBO Max to appeal for the show!

Wilding: From Child to Super Predator

Super Predator is a title political leaders labeled young men of color as in the early 1990s as they focused on integrating policies that would go on to devastate and ravage Black and Brown communities for decades to come. Driven by misplaced racial stereotypes and hypocritical propaganda, the American judicial system and proctors of the law heinously intimidated, incriminated, and incarcerated thousands unjustly. Events such as the Rodney King Beating, Central Park Five Case, and California’s 3-Strike Laws resonated loudly and illuminated the deeply rooted sense of distrust between communities of color and law enforcement representatives across America. 

Ava DuVernay’s fact-based Netflix series, “When They See Us,” hit the streaming service on May 31 leaving viewers with a taste of reality.  Emotionally stimulating, When They See Us offered an unflinching look into the real circumstances surrounding the now vindicated Central Park Five. After extensively studying the flawed case, DuVernay accurately depicted the illegally manufactured events of April 1989. Thirty years ago, New York City police (NYPD) rounded up black teenagers and manipulated them along with their families and friends, using brutal tactics forcing them to develop a false narrative surrounding the rape of a white woman in New York’s Central Park. 

Unfortunately, scenarios such as the tragic events associated with the Central Park crime are too common. Korey Wise, one of the five young black men implicated in the Central Park Five case, was sixteen years old when everything unfolded. Guilty of nothing, he became guilty by association for deciding to accompany his friend, Yuseef Salaam, to the police station. After being convicted, Wise, who was 16, was charged as an adult for the crimes and placed into the adult prison system. In an interview with  CBS Sunday Morning, DuVernay said, “my goal was to humanize boys and now men who are widely regarded as criminals…and in doing that to invite the audience to reinterrogate everyone that they define as a criminal.” The title of her Netflix series also derives from in her words, “What do you see when you see black boys?”

Masterfully produced, When They See Us left viewers feeling raw and vulnerable. Many African-Americans who viewed the series felt even more connected to the characters citing the current climate in America toward people of color. One person #UnEdited spoke with stated, “Look at Donald Trump then and look at Trump now…still a racist bigot!” Referring to the full page ad Donald Trump took out in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five. Jharrel Jerome, the actor that convincingly portrayed Korey Wise, said: “young black men in the street, strangers I don’t know but who are my brothers, I look at them and I’m like, I hope you’re safe, I hope you’re ok!” His words hit even closer to home because of the bias that still infects American culture. 

When They See Us gave a glimpse into the extent the criminal justice system would go to incriminate minorities. In the case of the Central Park Five, prosecutors ignored every fact to sell to the public children depicted as “animals” out “wilding” on the town looking for crime to commit. Ironically three decades later we still find ourselves deeper in a disproportionate fight against the criminal justice system and abuse of power.  Although the message has not changed, the voices are becoming bigger as we fight for equality. People like Colin Kaepernick and movements such as Black Lives Matter have become fixtures in bringing attention to corruption and misrepresentation.

When They See Us is needed more now than ever! Check it out and please feel free to express your thoughts surrounding this and any other issues we face.

Wonder how fast we could crowdfund it.

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…
