i do feel like every year there's an Oh No Cinema Is Dying big drama moment and its like. come on man she'll be fine. the quality of big studio blockbusters (which are still making some good stuff, it's not even dying there lmao) may drop off but there will always be weird movies made by someone with something wrong with them to enjoy. and for every complaint on here about how All Movies Are Like X Nowadays i promise there is a movie out there for you . she's literally not dying guys i checked and she'd like you to stop telling everyone she's dead

man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

the exercise lady whose videos I follow says things like "Exercise is a celebration of what you can do, not punishment for what you ate" and "Think of some small thing you've wanted to change, and try making that change just for today so you don't stress yourself out over a major change" and "The brain craves blood"

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence
