After his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, the FBI considered Martin Luther King the ‘most dangerous and effective leader’ in the US.
J. Edgar Hoover hated King, so he labeled him a Communist and sexual deviant, tapped his phones, and sent him an anonymous letter saying he had ‘just 34 days’ to kill himself, adding 'there is but one way out… you better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation.’
“I like your mother. You have your mother’s breasts.”
“Her breasts.”
“Great stand-up tits,” he said.]

this is Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo. it’s a really weird novel about a man going to get a haircut that’s also a pretty explicit criticism of the 1%.
the main character is a multimillionaire who’s so fixated on money and materialism that he’s basically forgotten how to be a normal human being and connect with people. that conversation above is him talking to his new wife. at one point, he even says something like, “this is good. we are having a conversation. this is what people do.”
being gender nonconforming is great bc straight people think i’m edgy and intimidating but lgbt people see me and immediately think i’m friend shaped :)
New gender: comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable
