and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but another reason I hate the return of 2000’s th*nspo shit is bc starving does make women frail and has longer term consequences like early osteoporosis, brittle bones/teeth, insomnia, ect. Your muscles will start eating themselves. It also makes you extremely emotional and severely lowers your capacity for critical thinking not bc you’re a girl but because your brain isn’t getting any fucking nutrients so idk I just feel like its very convenient that every time there’s an uptick in fascist rhetoric and women’s rights are being stripped suddenly it’s peak fashion for women to be starving, weak, and exhausted

I'm gonna just be basking in wake up dead man for a while and I'm sure I'll have more thoughts but good on them for doing such a moving story about religion and what it can mean to people and how it can be exploited and abuse but also heal while staying steadfast in the fact that Blanc is not religious. Because if there's one thing that old southern queen isn't, its fucking catholic

my actual favorite scene in wake up dead man is the one where jud is on the phone with the woman from the construction company and she asks him to pray for her, the sudden turn from humor to complete seriousness without it feeling like a tonal whiplash is really really good

self discipline is so hard like. i know the sucker who's in charge...a pushover who hates authority and loves hedonism
