Everyone talks about silent voices in history, but the thing about dehumanization is that those people are still human at the end of the day. They may be denied their humanity by oppressors, but the universe never ignored their presence. The earth moved for their silent footsteps, the stars stared at their retreating figures, they are acknowledged by the Earth. That’s where you get African American culture, jazz, Sappho or anything regarding women in Ancient Greece. In Ancient Greece there was at times an Andron - or a room only for men in the house because there used to be all male parties (like symposiums). This led to passages being made in the house so women can carry on with domestic work unseen - those women left a trace that we find today. People just leave fingerprints on everything, any people, all people. And I want to find every last one of those fingerprints.

♫: What is one thing that your muse thinks they are talented at, but actually aren’t?

Organizing. Particularly when it comes to her stuff. or her Partner's books.

Arsay has the "Arsay System" which means she puts things where she feels they should go and there's not a whole lot of actual rational organizing going on. She can always find what shes looking for, which is why she thinks she's good at it! But if anyone else were to try, they'd be out of luck.

SNOWFALL (2017–2023): Engrossing if often heavy-handed FX crime drama, co-created by John Singleton (with Eric Amadio and Dave Andron): a fictionalized account of how a CIA operation to fund anticommunist Contra death squads in Nicaragua in the 1980s sparked the crack cocaine trade in the U.S., focusing on a bright young Black man named Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), who becomes L.A.'s (fictional) first crack kingpin in increasingly uneasy partnership with twitchy, dweebish white CIA officer Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), who will do almost anything to keep the money and guns flowing, with ultimately ruinous consequences for all concerned.

As with any serialized drama lasting six seasons, the pacing is uneven and some plot threads get dropped without resolution, and like Singleton's early films, it can't resist periodically veering into contrivance-laden melodrama (although it's at least less strident than BOYZ N THE HOOD or HIGHER LEARNING). However, it's consistently interesting, anchored by some very strong performances — particularly Idris and Angela Lewis, as Franklin's aunt Lou — and its '80s setting is more convincingly realized than many recent period pieces, with a few nods to the life of Singleton himself, who was a teenager in South L.A. at the time the story takes place. Probably its biggest flaw is that its Latinx characters, even the ongoing ones, are rarely allowed to rise above stereotype (and the most complex Latina character, played by Emily Rios, departs after Season 2), although nearly all the Black characters, who are centered throughout, are refreshingly three-dimensional.

CONTAINS LESBIANS? Franklin's Aunt Lou — one of the show's best characters — is bisexual, and in the early seasons has a difficult, on-again-off-again relationship with a ruthless lesbian club owner (Judith Scott). VERDICT: Doesn't quite live up to its more grandiose ambitions, and the unnecessarily protracted, relentlessly downbeat finale leaves a sour taste, but it's still among the best shows of its genre: BREAKING BAD without the blorbofication, THE WIRE without the paternalistic cop apologism. Note that the final season needs CWs for threats of sexual violence, which are pretty rough.
