You realize that we are celebrating the fact that it is a Presidential Election AND a woman that has finally accomplished something that a lot of people have been waiting a lifetime to see, right? It’s not one or the other.

It’s viscerally embarrassing to read. I suddenly feel ashamed of all the obviously, transparently performative emails I’ve written to smart boys in a desperate bid to get laid.

“As the night ticked interminably by, I tried not to think what the rebels would do to the ‘skinny white muzungu with long angel hair’ if they found me.”

Also fuck Tintin. Tintin au Congo is one of the most racist things I read as a child. I don’t care if it’s been watered down for the films, english books etc, if you spend money on anything Tintin, you’re supporting that.
