Other than having watched Frankenstein as a kid, watching the movie Get Out was the first time I had ever watched a horror movie as an adult. I have long known about the movie Get Out, and watched some clips and the trailer on Youtube, but I never mustered the courage to watch it because I am very easily frightened and was afraid I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after watching it. However, even before I watched the movie, I had an inkling that this movie was not a horror movie, and never really considered it to be part of that genre. If anything, I thought this movie was geared more towards addressing the racism that is still present in the United States in the 21st century as opposed to making the viewers yelp or hide from fright.  Movies about racism, espeically movies about slavery, have always had a deep and life changing impact on me, and, after watching them, I cannot stop thinking about what I witnessed for days, and sometimes even months. For example, in eight grade, the history subject for the year was United States history, and, of course, we spoke in great lengths about the history and lasting impacts of slavery. One day in class, the teacher showed us a harrowing movie about slavery that depicted the horrors of slavey in their recreations of the terrible things the slave owners would do to their slaves. In one scene in particular, the evil slaveholder is whipping his female slave nearly to death for refusing to do sexual acts with him. After that class, I ran to the bathroom and vomited in the toilet because of how disturbed what I just watched was, and continued to think about it almost every day for the rest of the school year. Looking back on it now, I realize that my young heart could not fathom how humans can treat each other with such evil and inhumane intent, to the point where they don’t even see others as human anymore. This was a big theme that I saw in the movie Get Out, where the Black characters are objectified for their bodily capabilities and covered by the white characters. I especially noticed that the brother Jeremy doesn’t even view Chris as a human being. It is as if he is a car and throughout the movie he constantly is looking at him like an object. This movie overall rehashed so many feelings I felt throughout my whole life, and I am glad I’m in this class so I could unpack everything I thought. 

Hi guys! This isn't the first post I've made about this event...and it won't be the last, either! In my first act as NYC branch director for the great Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, I've booked this fabulous talk about Frankenstein on 5/17 in Greenpoint, and I really hope you'll come see it if you can.

Facing Familiar Fears: Race, Gender, and Technology in Frankenstein

Are humans only born, or can they be made? Must your origins determine your future? Are you fated to be who you are, or can you choose? What lessons does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein have to teach us about Black Lives Matter and the role of science and technology in shaping our concept of who counts as human? What can we learn through Shelley’s novel about extending human rights–including the right to reproduce–to synthetic, artificial life forms?

Though it was first published more than two centuries ago, Shelley’s groundbreaking narrative is as relevant and provocative today as it was in 1818. Its blend of science fiction, horror, and gothic drama provides a phantasmagorical laboratory in which progressive generations of scholars, writers, and artists continue to test what it means to be human. The novel’s questions about what constitutes human nature, and who can lay claim to human rights, are compellingly applicable to our contemporary political turmoil around how anatomy, appearance, and origin determine one’s identity–or if they even should. Perhaps Frankenstein can help us attend to historic societal wounds that remain open, as we approach futuristic concerns such as medical procedures that facilitate self-affirmation, the progress of artificial intelligence, and the advent of cloning.

This talk will explore Frankenstein’s implications for modern autonomy and identity issues by analyzing the original text with an eye toward science’s impact on racial, sexual, and gender-based discrimination. Topics will range from incest to artificial life, and slavery to the singularity.

Finding out your celebrity crush has a significant other is a different kind of heartache

this man is taking over every fibre of my being and i HATE IT

i want control over my own mind again thanks!

I need this man biblically.

me when i kill myself

how does one make friends?

i think i need to create different tumblr blogs for different things bc my brain can’t process all of my thoughts and feelings combine in one clusterfuck of a blog

i honestly have to disagree with this, we obviously don’t know what happened, but if he did cheat you dont have to dislike him but it speaks to him character. a lot of fans of rory were also fans of sarah bc they were together for so long. whether we know them or not doesn’t invalidate how people feel towards someone’s actions, similar to how other celebrities being monsters doesn’t excuse or cancel out what they did, regardless of how minimal others perceive it to be. if you want to excuse his actions (again, we don’t know if he did) or you don’t care, that’s completely fine, but people in the comments finding lame excuses like “i’m pretty sure everyone has cheated” no, don’t be dense.

all in all, people are allowed to be upset and be sympathetic towards sarah for something shitty your fav celeb did to her (once again, we don’t know)

i would also like to add, if rory and kate did have an affair, chances are their relationship won’t last, but i honestly wish everyone the best in this situation

unpopular opinion but i literally do not give a shit if rory cheated or not

with the amount of celebs that are monsters, this really isn't anywhere near the top of my list on why i'd hate a famous person lmao like i don't know him personally and am just a fan of his work,as long as he doesn't do nothing criminal i could not give less of a shit if he's loyal or not <3
