Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.

#race #racism #westerners will never know the dehumanization of the visa office #the ability to afford a plane ticket and the ability to get your visa stamped goes hand in hand #bc you're not allowed to leave the country unless you can show that you can afford to stay there and come back #you have to swear in blood that you won't overstay a minute longer than you're permitted to and sign your firstborn as collateral #a western airport is the closest i can come to the muslim experience bc the authorities will only care about my skin tone #that season 2 finale of Sense8 where the Mexican‚ and Kenyan and Indian characters of the cluster were able to flee to the US within hours #at the same time as the south korean and westerners #had Lankan fans falling down laughing #we're willing to suspend our disbelief of the science fiction telepathy shenanigans but THAT is a bridge too far #sadly not even the worst of the Wakowskis racefails #I love that show but its Caucasity was aggressive #global south #global north #immigration #refugees #islamophobia #no fly list #white supremacy #coloniality #western imperialism #colonial capitalism #knee of huss

actually I think overwatch having only the (super traditional) japanese characters be magic is fucking hilarious bc they’ve accidentally implied that shintoism is the Objectively Correct Religion in Overwatch World

#like there’s other ppl who have stories n designs based on cultural tradition #but only the japanese ones r magic???????? how do you do that #if it were just tradition that makes you magic in general then surely at the very least zenyatta n symmetra would also be magic #n I’d argue reaper has elements of like. the mexican folklore surrounding death + the paranormal #but all of them r just Science Guys like there is smth special abt Blizzard Japan #it isn’t even propping up asia as this mystical place like white ppl tend to do it’s japan specifically #like you don’t see mei going around summoning dragons she has regular science fiction powers #anyway I think it’s really funny. that they’ve accidentally implied a True Religion #sanders bullshit #overwatch 2 #ovw #ovw2

Re-listening to Ghost Radio

(For obvious reasons)

BUT I THINK I FIGURED OUT WHAT THE HELL THE ENTIRE CONCEPT IS ABOUT

SPOILERS

Joaquin can go between dimensions.

he had the near-death experience not once, but TWICE, and can now commune with the dead (Gabriel) as well as jump to other realities without intending it.

Examples of characters sidling between two realities that exist simultaneously:

The shaman/Christian priest who can somehow juggle BOTH religious realities at once

How Alondra can juggle both being a professor who is grounded in logic, but dabbles in illogical, supernatural existences

the concept of the same exact thing happening to two boys (Joaquin and Gabriel both lost their parents in the exact same way at the exact same time).

The early chapter where the woman was with her husband/children, then suddenly her family belongs to her neighbor instead

The two separate men who have records of radio shows (reality) in Texas

There are SEVERAL examples of dualities co-existing, and I think that was intentional to give the reader a subtle preparation and to expand the way the reader’s mind can hold more than one truth at a time.

Joaquin doesn’t know why or how his reality keeps shifting. Each time he jumps to a different reality, it’s like he’s tuning in to a different channel (dimension) of reality; however, he can’t control it.

Alondra has the seizure/fit when she sees herself/Colette in the photograph bc she isn’t supposed to see proof of alternate realities; essentially, her program crashes when it’s presented with an alternate reality, unlike with Joaquin bc of his two Near Death Experiences.

Essentially, because he almost died twice, Joaquin is a conduit for some weird shit, and when Gabriel comes back into his life via the radio station, he becomes more sensitized to all of this weird multidimensional shit.

The way they describe his loss of control while driving, how he was “floating” and “sliding” without the ability to control his car after leaving the scene with Barry and the shaman/pastor is a parallel to him “sliding” from one reality to another, like a radio dial.

ALSO, Time is a dimensional construct, so he can fuck with where he is in time accidentally, too. And I think the same is true with death, bc he ends up going to the afterlife at the very end and watching a dimension where Alondra is happy with Watt and never knew he, Joaquin, existed.

Im gonna relisten to this book a third time now with this in mind, and see if it makes more sense.

El hombre que logró ser invisible The New Invisible Man (1958)

A fairly standard invisible man story. It's got the same basic invisibility effects, and the same basic story of a man driven mad by invisibility. So unless you really want to see those things again, it's not particularly worth the time of watching.

4/10

Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: to escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. She has already delivered six.

When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka’s ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the curse lifting. She’s found her final candidate.

But in a donut shop off a bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn’t have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan’s kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul’s worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as vast as the California coastline.
