Artist commentary:

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) was an American science fiction writer most famous for his Dune series of novels. The Litany against fear is the mantra of a group of powerful women in the Dune books called the Bene Gesserit, who have achieved superhuman powers from mental and physical training. I haven’t read any of the Dune books, even though I know Dune to be considered the greatest science fiction novel ever. I guess i’m pretty intimidated by the mythology – it seems pretty hardcore, even for someone like me who’s read the works of Orson Scott Card, Harlan Ellison and watched the Star Wars saga countless times. From what I’ve read, the Bene Gesserit sound like Jedis … am I way off? Did I just ruin whatever science fiction street cred I had by asking that?

    just had a maybe PTSD flashback so I’m sorry if this is inappropriate. not in a good mental state, and this is why.

    married an abuser for over 10 years it led my to 5 suicide attempts. been beaten, raped, gaslit, financially abused…

    now she has the kids and she’s doing that to them and I have the gears of justice don’t give a fuck because she’s a blond American woman and I’m a big scary middle eastern man. I don’t think I’ll ever get justice, all I hope to get is to be there to help my kids with the trauma I’m unable to protect them from. as long as ICE doesn’t kidnap me because I’m undocumented (she sabotaged the green card process to get me deported instead of divorced)
