From Beloved, we learned about the ghosts of trauma—everyone has traumatic pasts which impact mental health. Mental health is so stigmatized by society yet so important: https://t.co/Z2SJPiTadb #sqsf #researchtweet

Tituba faces immense double standards from her being a woman, her race, and her interest in herbology—for which shes labeled a witch. As a witch, shes seen as the spawn of Satan, though she uses her powers for good! It shows the toxicity of religion and power #summarytweet #sqsf

I HATED the part in the beginning when Tituba’s mom defends herself against rape and in turn gets hung?! #readingtweet #sqsf

Tituba was persecuted for being a witch as a “satanic” creature, even though she was using her powers to help others. This shows how powerful religion can be in society, it can be taken and manipulated by those in power in order to them maintain in! #sqsf

When the vamp says Come out come out wherever u are as a message to all vampires it literally reminded me of coming out of the closet! #sqsf #viewingtweet

The black zombie serves as a representation of those in power controlling the worker. In Haiti, the French manipulated African slave workers, deeming them as zombies, as if they were lifeless laborers fueling the upper class’ pockets. #summarytweet #sqsf

It’s interesting how queer people were demonized for having HIV—as a contagious disease. Under the names “family values” and “masculinity,” if you didn’t fit that “perfect” ideal, you weren’t deemed a human being by society #researchtweet

Watching True Blood with Logan rn, and we notice that the vampire is portrayed as dark and mysterious, quite and stern, and also sexualized? #sqsf #viewingtweet

The zombification of Madeline in the film white zombie depicted the gender roles of the time—it was so easy for Madeline to turn into a zombie compared to any of the men. She’s portrayed as fragile and docile. #viewingtweet #sqsf

Ok what if school is just a way to turn children into “zombies” and control freedom of thought to force ppl out into the economy. And when u go against that ur labeled as ADHD like Einstein was. What if that’s why we have standardized tests every year starting from 2nd grade!

In Columbus’ Journal it was apparent that he was exploiting the natives and making them look bad just so that he could gain fame and fortune. I can’t believe we have a holiday for this selfish prick. #readingtweet #sqsf

In The Tempest, we see a huge difference in treatment from light skinned individuals to dark skinned... turns out Spain has a caste system based purely on skin color at the time 🤮 #SQSF #researchtweet

@weidner1uwedu And the people that analyzed the history of witch hunts were all men too... no wonder it’s so over looked

[Anjul Bansal @AnjulBansal2]

@lucyly626 Fax. Even today we see a similar situation during COVID, except in the form of birth control and abortion

Silvia Federici explains how which hunts were used as a political move, to silence a women’s sexual freedom, and control their bodies as baby making machines during economic recession #sqsf #summarytweet

I learned that the government makes us learn different things at different times in order to make them look good and not have anyone question or rebel against those in power. Why did we learn about Christopher Columbus in 4th grade, when we can’t comprehend his atrocities?

I thought it was interesting how the author was comparing capitalism to slavery in the sense of “dissociation from the body.” #SQSF
