The void is my friend.
Moonlight guide us home tonight
lyrics of Moonlight Guide Us by Darren Korb featuring Ashley Barrett and Judy Alice Lee from the Hades II Original Soundtrack
In shadow
All are one
Take shelter from the world above
In safety and in solitude
The Sisters wait
“I wish I knew how the Queen was still alive, when the real one’s dead. I mean she told me how she ‘woke up,’ but it sounded like a fairy tale.”
page 282, Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
“After all this, you don’t believe in fairy tales?”
Content Warning – I briefly talk about the death of one of my parents. No graphic details or anything like that but if that is something you do not wish to read about – skip this post.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that tuberculosis became a form of racialized violence. In Canada and the United States, for example, many Indigenous children were removed from their homes and forced to attend residential schools. As early as 1907, experts were sounding the alarm that this project seemed “almost as if the prime conditions for the outbreak of epidemics had been deliberately caused.” The death rate from TB in Canada’s residential schools appears genuinely unprecedented in human history.
