Oof. You pushed the Dana button.

Logibear

Move aside Billie and Ruth. This is the dawn of a new hatefucking age.

C

Ironically, Raidah became the person she accused Sarah of being after Dana left the college, and being reminded of that has to cut deep.

Sajuuk-Khar

“wHeN iTs InFrAsTrUcTuRe BeGiNs To TuRn On YoU” Sarah is Black, Raidah

Kelly (they-them)

Oh HELL yeah! I am here for this! I am Alice sipping on a soda and watching this conversation with rapt attention

Kelly (they-them)

America's gotten worse and has made Raidah's whole deal retroactively more understandable.

Lazuli

well, raidah....?

Harold

Dina: "Excuse me - are you two going to fuck? Should I leave?"

Logibear

Imagining Becky doing the ol Abe Simpson in and back the way she came at some point.

Amós Batista

I'm still thinking about Raidahs talking, but I'm laughing out loud lying to her face in last panel

T Campbell

Yeah, Sarah and Joyce and almost every other cast member have also been "building their own shadow infrastructures," or as normal people call it, "making friends." There's a difference between what they do and what you do, Raidah, but I don't think I can explain it without using concepts you may not believe are real things.

Omnithea

DO NOT YIELD

VengeanceKnight

Oh, Raidah can fuck off. As far as I’m concerned she is not allowed to be angry at this. I can accept a lot of the more sympathetic qualities she’s been given over the last few (real world) years, but there is *nothing* she can say to justify ignoring a friend’s suffering and cutting off the one person who did anything about it.

T Campbell

(Glad to see some of the character's apparent contradictions paying off in the text, though!)

C Bonesmith

Y'know, Raidah always talks about Dana in the past tense. She never mentions her unless it's to remind us that Sarah contacted her dad and gotten her taken out of college. I wonder if she still talks to her at all- it's Present Day, she could text her or DM her on a number of platforms- but would she? At what point did "friends" become "people you use" to her?

joe mcguire

Look, you can’t be careful sociopolitical chess master AND loyal ride or die bestie. Okay? Those two things are incongruous. You can’t hate Sarah for being “ruthless” AND hate her for not properly exploiting her social connections. You gotta pick one.

I'm realizing I don't know what the deal is between these two. Any chance I could get a quick refresher?

Sajuuk-Khar

Like, I have no doubt you have been harmed by this dogshit country, Raidah, and by its white population especially, and that is horrible and I feel for you, but the *fucking audacity* in lecturing a Black woman about “the infrastructure turning on you”. Bitch, what do you think the infrastructure has been doing *her entire life*. What do you think it was *built* to do?? Dipshit behavior.

C.T. Phipps

It's been a decade. Can we AT LAST know what happened to Dana!?

C.T. Phipps

I thought Raidah was also black. So this is a conversation between two black women, one Muslim, one not.

Sajuuk-Khar

I am given to understand Raidah is SW Asian/North African-American in heritage. If I’m wrong, mea culpa, but that still leaves Raidah’s commentary in the “stupid” category.

Spartacus

Eh, it seems to me that it happened this conversation. It's just a useful framing that makes her seem like she's not doing what took Sarah's bf out of the dating pool in the first place

Spartacus

It's covered like super early in the comic. She partied hard, and was Sarah's roommate. It became enough of an issue that it was negatively affecting Dana's grades, then it became enough of an issue that it affected Sarah's grades, who had a grades-based scholarship. Sarah called Dana's parents, who took her out of school.

Julian Williams

The two of them were friends back when Dana was Sarah's roommate. Dana's mom died and she started spiraling. No one else knew anything was wrong except for Sarah. Sarah called her dad and had her pulled out of college. Raidah believe she did it vindictively and because of her grades, because she's Sarah.

Zesstra

Just to elaborate on that context, Sarah was tolerating the spiralling for a while, not reporting Dana's increasingly problematic drug use (originally Dana wouldn't smoke in the room but that slipped), but Dana was driving Sarah to such distraction that her scholarship was literally in jeopardy, and that was the last straw. It wasn't vindictive, she was trying to be supportive as long as possible, but it wasn't helping Dana in the short or long term and she had to preserve her own future as well as try to get Dana any help at all, while Raidah and co didn't see a problem because Dana put on a front around them, not hearing the wailing sobs in the night.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Julian Williams Ah. Gotcha. Thanks!

5099 5618 v2.0

@Zeestra Ah. The nuance really helps, there. Thank you!

GundamBradley

I figure they may mean what's happened with her since then, but yeah, that's the gist of it.

GundamBradley

You know, at this point, you've earned that, Raidah.

Jesse

“Oh the humanity.” 🍿*Om* *Cronch* *Om*

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Raidah's a Middle-Eastern name, Muslim is mostly concentrated in the Middle East/North Africa... some VERY South Asia, but definite Middle Eastern vibes

Shane Wegner

If there was no truth in the accusation, it wouldn't sting.

Shane Wegner

Side thought- Sarah's gonna do just fine as a lawyer since she can casually pull up power zingers like this under surprise pressure. She just came here to use the treadmill and Raidah is turning it into Festivus Airing of Grievances, Sarah is like "Cool, I can roll with this".

Zesstra

Meanwhile, Charlie only needed to go "hmmm" (disapprovingly) and it has moved Carla to attempt to influence her parents and to question how she can not be complicit in the situation if she can't stop it. Also, for someone who destroyed Dorothy's worldview with one sentence, Raidah seems to have her own incredibly overstated idea of how much influence one student can exert with a tangential relationship to a dean she's never met, while also having no idea about Sarah and Tony's relationship really (what do they talk about? Does Tony approve of his father's actions? Has Sarah voiced her opposition to the protest crackdown, the police raid, and the press shutdown?), and being so nakedly antagonistic to her at all times that she's unlikely to ever be privy to that information.

Avian

yeah, what does she mean BEGINS to? Sarah is a black woman with a strong personality, she gets this just as well as her, they actually have a LOT in common on paper!

Avian

I do appreciate how much raidah is saying compared to sarah here, sarah is calling her on everything and taking very little shit

Packy Anderson

She was always that person, which is why her accusing Sarah of being that person was always hilarious.

Packy Anderson

Remember, a care part of Raidah's character is that no one else but her understands anything.

Harold

@Spartacus: One crucial correction - as Julian notes in another thread, Dana spiraled because her mom died. Sarah called her dad to take her home.

Pangab

In Radiah’s defense, I do think she’s recognized this and that’s why she initially was trying to pull Sarah into the group, wanted to her to see the benifits of networking and connection., and support the growth of another smart woman of color. But after the Dana incident she now sees Sarah as a snitch and a backstabber, someone who would destroy the group of allies for her own benefit. And that’s what bothers Radiah. Radiah may not actually be nice to her group all the time because she does see them as allies more than friends, but I think she probably draws a line at actually harming their positions. Plus my theory is that perhaps Dana was an older friend of Radiah, that they had a real connection before she went networking crazy. And so her loss feels so much more personal.

Rob McBobson

Pangab: It's "Raidah" with the I before the D.

Tessea

I don't hate her for either of those reasons. I hate her because of her manipulative hypocrisy, which Sarah is calling her out on right now.

Tessea

That would be Alice, i think. :D

Tessea

I wonder if Raidah has kept in touch with Dana at all. That would be very telling on what she values in that friendship.

Gale Tazzin

everyone has always accused Sarah of not caring about Dana. kinda incredible that she finally gets to righteously accuse someone else of that

Gale Tazzin

dina is still here, too!

Gale Tazzin

Isn't that *why* Raidah is making this argument to Sarah? I read this as an appeal to a fellow marginalized person in the same brutal career path, like she's saying "surely you understand the system is already trying to destroy us, it will get worse when we're lawyers, that's why I do what I do and I don't deserve flak from you over it" but she accidentally tipped her hand too far and instead of making herself sympathetic, she kinda admitted she doesn't let herself care about anyone else on a personal level, even when fighting altruistically for institutional change

George Simpson

Less partying, and more self-medicating her way through her grief at losing her mother.

Sajuuk-Khar

@Gale: See, now that I reexamine I can see where she probably intended to make that appeal, but I think she was tragically hampered by a lifetime of being the person from this Twitter post (https://x.com/NOTolgaa/status/1813663855937220886?s=20) + also her intense personal hatred for Sarah, so none of that actually comes across, and it looks/sounds like she’s lecturing a fellow marginalized person about how bad the system is (which they already know and they already know you know.)

thejeff

Further nuance: Sarah did try to convince their other friends, including Raidah, to find some way to help, but they dismissed her, because as Zesstra said, Dana was keeping up something of a front during the day. But also, we have to consider the source: Sarah. Who routinely downplays how much she cares about people and overemphasizes her own practical concerns. I suspect, though she'd never admit it, it was far more worry about Dana than about her own scholarship that pushed her to act.

thejeff

Also, while Raidah is also a minority, she still apparently comes from privilege - her father's a lawyer, while Sarah's background is poor enough she'd only here on a scholarship.

thejeff

I take back some of thoughts on the previous strip. Sarah's comeback is great, but this outburst feels more honest from Raidah than her usual manipulation.

darklion

It's just weakness leaving the body

Kelly (they-them)

Not my dumb ass missing Raidah saying this to a Black woman, holy fuck

Maude Reads Things

Ah yes, because a BLACK WOMAN has no clue what it could be like when the US gets increasingly hostile on an infrastructural level. That could never possibly affect her decisions. And how DARE she ask if Dana was infrastructure when you admit to surrounding yourself with influential people so you'll have infrastructure. Oh yeah and why isn't Sarah trustworthy? Ah yeah, that's right, you HARASSED HER FOR OVER A YEAR. Forgive her for not being inclined to do you personal favours (though if Raidah were in immediate danger I think she would because Sarah Is a good person, loathe though she might be to admit it). No, I don't care if Raidah has been crying screaming throwing up over her calling Dana's dad. Dana needed help - help Raidah insisted she DIDN'T need - and Sarah reached out with the options available to her.
