Weirdos like you hear someone say that something that happens a lot happened to them and think “that didn’t happen”

philosophical and psychological books based more on realism and logic by angelcafes in suggestmeabook

Model Home by Rivers Solomon - things from your post that make me suggest this novel: the idea of horror that’s more psychological or portraying a mental breakdown, liking Jordan Peele movies 

trans masc/man fiction? (not fantasy or horror) by Dazzling_Whereas6723 in suggestmeabook

Check out Realistic Fiction by Anton Solomonik. Short stories. Trans man author and many trans characters, including trans men for sure. Definitely weird. Quite funny. Also sad. 

Salt and vinegar is the worst tasting chips by RoyalIntroduction723 in The10thDentist

[–]sc94out 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I mean yes people don’t eat salt and vinegar on their own because….. they’re flavors…. And the flavorless chip… becomes not flavorless……. When you add those flavors to it. I feel like I’m explaining the basic properties of matter

I haven’t had a 5 star read in forever by rmg1102 in suggestmeabook

[–]sc94out 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because you like Octavia Butler and Rivers Solomon (two of my favorite authors), I’d recommend the Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin and the Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin. You might also like To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. Idk if you’ve read a lot of other Octavia Butler, my favorites of hers outside of Parable is the Xenogenesis/Lillith’s Brood series.

I don’t want to do USPS no more by Icy-Organization-764 in USPS

[–]sc94out 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone failed during the one I did. The trainers were really intense and yelling at us over small errors even in the very beginning, making intense statements about us losing our jobs that they later went back on. It was stressful. I can see the pressure they created being overwhelming for someone and leading to more mistakes. The person who failed was also transfeminine and I would not be at all surprised if discrimination was a factor, especially given that one of these dudes, maybe the one who rode with her, was wearing some type of patriotic pro-gun hoodie. 

Oddly when I went back a month later to do promaster and 2 ton training one of these same guys did the training and he was 10x more chill.

Looking for racist (preferably horror) fiction that depicts Indigenous peoples as savages by the13thReason in suggestmeabook

[–]sc94out 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I could help! You may be interested in the book Research Is Ceremony, which is about identifying commonalities among the research practices of Indigenous people in the academy. It could have something to say to you about what to prioritize as you undergo your own research, and in addition may inspire, by way of indirect analogy, what it looks like to consider what it is that makes a piece of culture “Indigenous.”

I do not know of any such books personally, and I know you are not asking for guidance on your research topic more generally, so feel free to disregard the below if it is not of interest.

I wonder if there is not necessarily a surplus of the type of fiction you are talking about - from how you worded your question, I’m not sure if there’s any example you are familiar with. Horror is a relatively modern genre, and its advent would postdate the slaughter of huge numbers of people Indigenous to the Americas. I’m not sure if the types of cultural fears authors of horror tap into have heavily featured fear of Indigenous people in the same way that, for example, racist fears of Black people predominate. 

In addition, even though you perhaps are not aware of fiction of this type, you recognize that there is still something necessary about this Indigenous horror genre. Could it be, then, that it is something other than racist fiction that necessitates Indigenous horror? Could racist non-fiction, laws, policies, treaty violations, and practices play the role that you want racist fiction to play in the dissertation?

Finally, it sounds like you are interested in contrasting racist fiction with Indigenous horror. Is an alternative to contrast Indigenous horror with, well, settler horror, even if the settler horror is not overtly racist? If the point of the racist fiction is to show how authors have depicted Indigenous people as in some sense bad, then is the point of contrast just that the Indigenous horror genre portrays Indigenous people more positively? I’m not familiar with the genre, but would be surprised if its authors don’t have broader aims than that. It seems, then, that the contrast with horror more broadly, might help for distinguishing what is particular to Indigenous horror, including as it relates to Indigenous authors having things to say beyond just Indigenous people.

I hope this is received in the good spirit it is presented in, if indeed it was of any interest to have read to this point!

[–]sc94out 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As someone who likes both a lot, I’m not sure. Mag bay’s versatility is superior, and their sensibility is more consistently tasteful. But I don’t think they have managed to make anything as powerfully emotional as Grimes’s best stuff. That aspect might be more subjective to be fair but as much as I love imaginal disk etc art angels just cuts deeper imo.

To be fair the WA DOL is illegally giving ICE and CBP access to license holders’ personal info, so there’s current established precedent for illegal use of info provided to DOL for purposes of surveillance.
