Robert Pattinson, Zendaya's The Drama is disturbing, controversial and fascinating
That The Drama blossoms into a subversive investigation into the limits of empathy doesn't really matter. All that will matter is the disappointment theatre-goers will feel walking out of a supposed rom-com they expected to be like Sleepless in Seattle, but that instead feels closer to Midsommar.

Once a Bipartisan Stalwart, AIPAC Turns ‘Toxic’ in the Illinois Primaries

An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

#Alcohol isn't inherently #subversive.

Making alcohol more widespread is a tactic #colonizers have deliberately used to constrain #resistance. Alcohol makes it harder to be aware of what's happening and react with #agency and deliberation. It also keeps you dependent on a very #capitalist industry, giving it your #money. And structuring #social life around alcohol excludes a lot of #disabled and recovering people and #kids--people with direct experiences being #oppressed by #empire.
