I’ve Seen So Many People Break Down The Way That The Silt Verses Talked About Kindness And The Theme

I’ve seen so many people break down the way that the silt verses talked about kindness and the theme of it throughout the show but upon finishing the finale, after chewing through it for an entire week, I’ve realized that nobody has talked much about the part that spoke the most to me.

They all got to watch each other walk away.

Faulkner saw Carpenter walk towards a better future, Carpenter watched his body in turn, free of the role of prophet, to wherever he wanted to go. Hayward verbalized this as he saw Paige walk away, and Paige will meet her destiny watching the backs of her people grow more and more distant.

They were horrible people in a horrible system and they all contributed to it in some way, but they were kind. And the kindness did not save them, but it let them watch the people they loved walk away towards something better, even as that same action brings them closer to the thing that will kill them.

The Silt Verses is about those people who got lost, who got eaten. Even as they die without being dead, turned into tools of the system. Even as we lose people every single day. Even as our old activists become complacent or lose hope or as another advocate for human rights is killed. Every single day we get to see others walk away, despite knowing that they’re walking towards their death the same way we all are, it is always such a privilege, because along the way they are kind, and if the kindness lasts long enough. If it exists long enough to find a place where the thing that would eat them has starved. All that is left is us. And the kindness. And maybe one day we won’t have to walk anymore.

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

i'm just so, so grateful that the silt verses finale said this isn't a story where people get what they deserve. this isn't a story about showing mercy. the answer is not, and has never been, making self-righteous value judgements that you can justify to yourself in the telling later on. the greatest thing we can do in this world is to be kind to one another. to give without expecting anything in return. that's all that ever was, and ever will be, what we owe to each other. that's all.

the thing about having long hair especially if you are a girl/perceived as one is people act like they will be personally offended if you cut it. INCLUDING! hair stylists who you are paying to cut it. double it if you have blonde/red/ginger/curly/etc hair. like the lack of autonomy ive been allowed to feel about my hair, even when its subtle still has me afraid to go to the stylist and ask for the haircut im paying to get.
