I sometimes hear people ask why #Boulder is so white. This is a remarkable 4-part series from @KUNC that may not about Boulder specifically, but it's about a lot of our surrounding areas and gives a lot of context. It's a must read/listen. đ (1/x)

This segment is about how current racial tensions in Loveland (not that far from Boulder) are a legacy of its history as a sundown town. The reporters talk to Black residents who talk about what it feels like to be there. (3/x) kunc.org/2021-09-13/lovâŠ

I learned about Black Wall Street on Twitter. Learned more from #Watchman & #LoveCraftCountry on @HBO. Been listening to podcasts about the massacre since. You should too. Oklahoma is doing WRONG by survivors, to this very day. Also, S/O to Gentrification. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bliâŠ
And because nothing moves in this country unless white ppl can make money from it, with all of the new eyes on this history, gentrification is on the rise. Imagine that. White gentrifiers & land owners wanting to have their shops/apts/businesses in this historic area in Tulsa...
...while Black descendants of the survivors, themselves (still) business owners...cannot afford the rent anymore. Survivors, including living survivors, are still fighting for reparations. And today is the 100yr anniversary of what the racist, white GOVERNMENT did to...

I think I am finally ready to discuss. #LovecraftCountry "Rewind 1921" on the #TulsaRaceMassacre.
As a Tulsa native...it definitely touched a chord.
As a Tulsa native...it definitely touched a chord.
So far I have avoided articles and podcasts about the show (and especially this episode) because I wanted to experience it through my own lens first before adding other voices to it.
Here are my thoughts:
Here are my thoughts:
1. #TheTulsaRaceMassacre is our 9/11. Imagine what it would be like to watch a graphic reenactment of that day if you lived in NYC or across the river in NJ constantly wondering about where you were at the time and all the "what ifs" the could have changed your life.
Listening to so many podcasts breakdown the âI amâ ep of #LovecraftCountry & all of the ways this ârespectableâ Black woman (Hippolyta) , Georgeâs wife was both angry & being shrunk by the people who hate AND love her. Wow...
That Hippolyta was a literal math/science genius but it was George who was the one out exploring while she stayed at home & cooked his food & raised his child...and that *HE* (the man who loved her) had no prob with that arrangement AND was the one to decide whether to...
...*allow* his adult/math/science genius wife to explore with him...wow. And the fact that âangry BW) has been used by WP but espc WW & BW as a curse or silencer for US knowing damn well they *also* have a fucking lot to be angry about as well...but as long as you hold BW ...
ROAD TO HALLOWEEN 2020 - Recomendamos una pelĂcula de terror para cada dĂa de octubre en un hilo de 31 pelĂculas espeluznantes y/o divertidas con el espĂritu de la noche de difuntos. #RoadtoHalloween
1- TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995) Antes de Jordan Peele y #LovecraftCountry, esta antologĂa de terror con espĂritu TALES FROM THE CRYPT ponĂa los problemas raciales USA sobre la mesa a travĂ©s de relatos morales cĂĄusticos, sin dejar de lado los grandes FX gore.
2- THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1991) El año de su muerte, Stuart Gordon merece un homenaje con una de sus obras menos conocidas, una adaptación libre de Poe con un sådico torquemada en un pre-Torture Porn sobre la caza de brujas que actualizaba films como WITCHFINDER GENERAL.
Not quite sure how to feel about this week's #LovecraftCountry. Taken on its own it's a strong hour, anchored by a fantastic Jamie Chung, who's never been less than magnetic in anything I've seen her in. Someone give her a show already.
But as part of the ongoing story of #LovecraftCountry, it feels like an odd fit. Are we just supposed to handwave the fact that Tic is apparently a war criminal? Is this something the show is going to revisit, or is it in the past?
The episode does such a great job of putting us in Ji-Ah's point of view that we end up alienated from Tic. To the point that her forgiveness of him feels unearned. "We're both monsters, so it's OK" is a really glib way of addressing the things he's done. #LovecraftCountry
Don't let a few tentacles get in the way of love #LovecraftCountry
Ain't nothing wrong with trying new things Tic
Let a foxtail girl love you
If there's one thing I appreciate about #LovecraftCountry it's that it has probably on of the most interesting depictions of whiteness on screen currently. Especially as I find it contrasted against Girls which I'm still currently watching.
I'm catching up at the moment, but I enjoy the fact that Ruby's episode demonstrated how white folks existence is a time bomb when they're around black people. With or without or involvement they can just cause our deaths.
As well as the parts where, and we see this more and more these days, that white people so deeply want to get as close to blackness as possible. Claim it in some way if possible.
Rewatching #LovecraftCountry & how the WW at the store wanted to go to the âcolored sideâ of town to have a good time. We werenât allowed the resources they had but they had FULL ACCESS to Blackness. At all times. AND...itâs funny how the âcolored sideâ was labeled criminal...
...but white ppl sought out the âcolored sideâ of town to do their dirt. So itâs ânasty & dirty & dangerousâ till itâs time to have a good time. And then they can go back to whiteness. So easy isnât it? And this includes music. We see it in all of these so called ...
...âhip hopâ sites today. Yup. Full access to Blackness. Folks like to dip in & dip out.
This week's #LovecraftCountry was the best episode of the season so far. Not coincidentally, it's the first episode that feels less like a horror story, and more like a story with horror in it.
The core theme of #LovecraftCountry - white people are scarier than Cthulhu - is obviously quite rich, but this week was the first time that I felt the show was digging deeper into that idea, rather than just presenting it and expecting that to be enough.
Also, there was some criticism of the handling of an intersex character last week, and I'm wondering if the strong queer themes in this episode make up for that. (They don't have to, obviously, but at least the show has varied queer rep.) #LovecraftCountry

Random #LovecraftCountry thought, but doesn't seem as if Tic (and George, though he has the excuse of being older) have rather old-fashioned reading tastes? The authors they mention - Stoker, Poe, Borroughs, Lovecraft - had all stopped writing, or even died, before Tic was born.
In 1955, Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury, Clarke, and Bester were in their 30s and 40s and well into their writing careers. Some of their iconic work (Stranger in a Strange Land, Rendezvous with Rama) was still ahead of them, but they had been writing short fiction for decades.
If I think of the kind of writing a genre-curious young man like Tic would be interested in, those are the names that come up. And a lot of it would probably be in magazines like Analog, Astounding, Amazing Stories, or Weird Tales, all around since the 1920s and 30s.
Watcging the new #LovecraftCountry episode, and I definitely appreciate a getting to see a black woman whose body looks like mine getting to fuck and be sexy.
Though I also find the contrast of Ruby and Leti to be interesting. While Leti can at times be performing activism she still wants to try. While Ruby is pragmatic, but not interested in helping us as a people. As seen by her "winner take all" philosophy.
Just finished. Saw the bit that had folks upset. I'd be more shocked I think if I went in blind, but at the same time it was still an "oof" kinda moment for me.
Between that Stormfront gal's actions in S02 E03 of #TheBoys and Montrose's in S01 E04 of #LoveCraftCountry, I'm unsure which was more disturbing.
For any who haven't seen those episodes, take the trigger warnings seriously. Like, take all the trigger warnings.

#LoveCraftCountry better have plans to redeem itself by next episode. So many writing choices were already shoddy in this latest episode, but that last act of violence, on a QPOC no less, was completely uncalled for and in poor taste. Like, y'all better have a good reason, WTF?
Okay fine, the writing was good, esp with all the Easter eggs and genre nods and finger-pointing to moments in history. But still, they did Yahima detty.
Detty, I say.
Detty, I say.
#LovecraftCountry first thing in the morning seems like a good idea.
This episode is so much fun and still terrifying. #LovecraftCountry

âI thought the world was one way, and I found out it isnât. And it terrifies me. But I canât live in fear. I wonât. I gotta face this new world head on, and stake my claim in it.â - Leti @jurneesmollett (seems relevant to more than #LovecraftCountry)

#LovecraftCountry Uncle Georgeâs đ€ is Dora. But Doraâs are always ânot realâ in some way. Always tragic.
LOVECRAFT COUNTRY ha empezado en HBO con un piloto ESPECTACULAR que logra una mezcla perfecta de acción, misterio y terror con sangre, monstruos y una ambientación exquisita en la América segregada de Jim Crow. Como SUPERNATURAL con gran presupuesto y el filtro racial de GET OUT.
#LovecraftCountry 1x01 Empieza prĂĄcticamente igual que la odisea de los Winchester, dos familiares en busca de un padre en forma de Road movie de terror hasta llegar a un tercer acto que es todo un micro-homenaje a uno de los pilares del horror noire: 'Night of the Living Dead'
LOVECRAFT COUNTRY tiene una cuidada ambientaciĂłn en la NorteamĂ©rica segregada, con asombrosas recreaciones en movimiento de la serie de fotografĂas 'Segregation Story' (1956) de Gordon Parks y otras como 'American Way of Life' (1935) de Margaret Bourke-White.
