inWhen public schools are judged by how much art and music they have, by how many science experiments their students perform, by how much time they leave for recess and play, and by how much food they grow rather than how many tests they administer, then I will be confident that we are preparing our students for a future where they will be creative participants and makers of history rather than obedient drones for the ruling economic elite.

inI read the comics a few years ago and really enjoyed them (mostly Cassidy if I’m being honest because he felt the most human and the least tropey) and when I heard about a TV show being made I was pretty interested but not like…mega-interested. How I felt about it was ultimately going to be contingent on how the story was translated onto the screen – was it going to amplify what I thought was the best about the comics and excise the elements I disliked? Seeing that Ruth was cast and that she was so passionate about the project is what made me so hopeful for the narrative strength and thematic integrity of the series – and so far, it hasn’t let me down once.
Tulip is utterly unlike any female character I’ve seen on TV. She’s this whirlwind of a woman – passionate, empathetic, impulsive, vengeful, self-righteous, and unapologetically herself. One of my favorite things that Ruth has said about her is that “When she detains the kids [in the pilot] and is like, ‘This is how you make a bazooka,’ it’s not in any threatening, weirdly egotistical way. It’s like she’s showing them how to use watercolors for the first time.” And that tells you pretty much everything you need to know about her. Factor in all the complexities in her relationship with Jesse, and you have this totally unique character complete with complex relationship dynamics. There’s also her interactions with Cassidy, which I think have the potential to be a real thing of beauty (I’m waiting for that next episode) and her interesting shared scenes with Emily. There’s not a moment she’s on screen that seems wasted.
Give Jesse a little while…there are things about him that you don’t know yet, so I think you’ll understand his behavior better later on. There’s no excuse for how he’s behaving, but there is an explanation. His friends will help him find his way.

Psych wards should really be included in Tumblr’s discussions about ableism.
The doctors there called me psycho and assumed I couldn’t think for myself. They held me down against my own will. I could only go outside if I was in a cement area surrounded by a fence. The rooms were equivalent to jail cells. I cried and told them to stop and they would say “the psychosis…”.
Psychotic people and others with demonized or “scary” mental illnesses are often not treated as humans. Please don’t leave people on the schizophrenia spectrum out of your activism.
Anyone can reblog this.
