me, every time a new episode comes out: WHTA THE FCUK
Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize
glad that much of the conversation I’ve seen on here about Renee Good contextualizes her death within the rampant killing of people (especially Black, immigrant, and indigenous people) by ICE, police, and other armed actors of the state going back literally the entire existence of the US, with particular attention to the very recent deaths that were less reported due to a combination of being racialized victims and not having clear footage that fascists could circulate as titillating snuff film propaganda.
surprised that I haven’t seen anyone mention that Renee Good is a lesbian, or that her butch partner was present during the murder, and the role that gender is playing in this particular moment of rallying the far right. it took me until a couple days ago to even learn that, actually, or that fascists are using AI to ‘undress’ Good in order to symbolically use her body as a sex object–creating a public show of the “bitch” forcibly brought back into patriarchy through death and sexual violence.
the racial and gendered politics of why her killing is hypervisible in the news cycle are deeply interrelated, imo. the white nationalist project that seeks the simultaneous expulsion and torture of racialized subjects is the very same whose anxieties around “white birth rates” has animated legislation to escalate the restriction of healthcare that impacts sexed characteristics (abortion, gender affirming care, puberty blockers, etc) and target populations acting against sexgender assignment.
lesbianism among those assigned female at birth has largely been assimilated within the cisgender class for the last 50 years or so (excepting those of us who outright reject assignment and/or pursue the medical changing of sexed traits, who are still transsexualized), but imo what we’re seeing is that, within this far right movement that is obsessed with controlling birth within patriarchal marriage, a cis lesbian’s death can stand in for a larger propaganda of the rightful punishment for the rejection of sex assignment (which is implicitly understood to threaten the white nationalist project).
Laura Loomer posted shortly after her death calling Good a “communist carpet-muncher.” They are gleeful at the prospect of murdering lesbians, regardless of perceived respectability. The “carpet-muncher” becomes disposable, subhuman, degenerate.
there are people on this earth with curly black hair and eyes so dark brown they look black. NEVER kill yourself
