I didn’t think of it that way, Lupita. I am sorry.

I’m not going to say goodbye. You hear me mami? Because now I understand why you didn’t say goodbye to me went to the army. Because you were I wasn’t coming back. And I forgive you… because now I’m afraid. And I’m not going to say goodbye.

#i know jefferson thinks that he was living a lie but the truth is that freedland needs both Mr. Pierce and Black Lightning#jefferson is amazing because he wants to lift people up and make a difference and inspire people to hope#and he did that so tremendously as Mr. Pierce to the point that even the gangs hold some respect for him#even lala respected the safezone of the high school because Mr. Pierce believes in you and wants you to do better#he wants you to be the better person or at least the best version of yourself that you can be#even when the system is so fucked up and things are stacked against you - look at how he handled will in that scene in the pilot#that person - that figure is NEEDED in freedland#but what I am really liking about this series is that they’re showing that when things are so stacked up against you on a systematic level#when even when you have people like henderson who are trying to make a difference- it’s still not enough because that shit is#too institutionalized so you also need someone like Black Lightning to fight when violence erupts#for progress to be made for people who are so systematically oppressed you need both Dr. King and Malcom X#this show has so much to say about what Jefferson Pierce stands for and who he is and the multifaceted parts that make him#and I am so so excited to see where they are going to take this not just from one point of view but also from a generational POV#across genders and age and sexualities because anissa and jennifer become superheroes too#I am so very excited to see where this is going#watch this show - it shows so much promise

2day my linguistics professor asked people to name some ships bc she was talking about morphology & how ship names were an example of blending and the room of 100+ people was completely silent bc who wants to expose themselves?? until this one person was like “umm johnlock” and i heard someone behind me go “oh my god……. i hate this”

MAGNIFIQUE.

“Hey, Dad? Did you ever lie to me? I don’t mean telling me that ash tray I made for Mom wasn’t a piece of crap, I mean like… really lied about something that might hurt me to know.”

#my friends @ me part 2 

big little lies masquerades as a show about the cattiness of upper class women in their literal glass mansions and quickly reveals it’s self as a show about the nuances of domestic violence, the intricacies of surviving rape and sexual abuse, the importance of supportive female relationships, overcoming emotional abuse, women standing up to protect other women, and i’m just beside myself it is so VALIDATING to see that kind of content on HBO a channel infamous for shows that abuse rape and kill women like it’s in style. i am so here for women protecting each other, women standing up to abusers, women overcoming their differences and treating each other like sisters. 

tl;dr big little lies breathed life back into my archaic cynical soul and women helping women is the most important thing in the whole damn world.
