Happy bi week! Singer and guitarist Rosetta Tharpe was known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll for bringing the music of her Black, working-class gospel music to the world. Her friend Tony Heilbut described her attitude to relationships as “Rosetta belonged to the Whosoever Will Church as in “Whosoever Will Let Him (or Her) Come.”"

I'm still so, so fascinated by Laudna. Like, how deep does the denial go? When Imogen asks her "you're not lying to me again, are you?" And she takes over a minute to answer pretty defensively that No, she's not, is she unsure because she knows she's lying? Is she unsure because she knows that she's definitely feeding delilah and that the stronger she gets, the least control Laudna has? Is she unsure because she knows delilah was gone for good, completely, and Laudna allowing her to come back is what flooded the gates again? Does Laudna herself understand that she's lying to Imogen and how? Marisha has straight up not given any definitive answers whenever she's asked about their relationship and I am just so curious.
When she says "No. I'm not feeding her, she's feeding me too. It's symbiotic", is she lying through her teeth because she thinks that will make Imogen worry less or does she genuinely believe that? I cannot understand if she truly believes she needs Delilah, if she knows, deep down, that she doesn't and Delilah is actually feeding off of her but there's a dependent relationship there that she can't let go or if this is all some sort of self depreciative sabotage where she knows that she's likely going to lose herself to this but she believes it to be worth it if it helps her friends in any way.
It's probably a mix of all three but I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it.

Sometimes a family is a woman in STEM, her long lost twin sister, her boss, her 5 best friends who each own a different color of the rainbow, her token male friend, her queer-coded brother figures, and the radiant, ethereal mother figure they all share
