What are you prepared to do?

This isn't some bullshit call to armed revolution. This is asking are you ready to go out and feed people when it becomes illegal to do so (like it has in many places)? Will you lie to police to save a stranger? Will you use what privilege you have to shield those who don't have it? Will you do your best to not give in to despair and inaction because that only helps our enemies?

In short, what are you prepared to do to help those around you? What are you able to do now? What can you learn to do? What can you push yourself to do?

This isn't even happening (it is, it has, it's continuing to be suggested, and you could have easily googled that)

OP is a Zionist so this doesn't matter (I'm not but even if I was that doesn't really change any individual point I might make. People you disagree with can still be right about other things also if you don't care about me, fine whatever, but this is about the Jewish queer community who you should care about)

Too bad Jews can't have the Star of David anymore just like Nazi's stole the swastikas ( there's a major difference between a political party stealing a religious symbol and using it wildly out of context and an ethnic group using their own religious symbol at the founding of a country they populate. No matter how you feel about them. It also implies that Jewish people should give up a symbol they are saying they want to keep just because you aren't educated enough to see it as anything more than this singular event in history you started caring about a few months ago for the first time)

Religion doesn't belong at pride ( aka no intersectionality allowed! Secular white mainstream queers only)

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

And it was actually quite fade-resistant! Much moreso than natural dyes. People in the 1920s would have known about their grandmothers' super bright colors, because those dresses were still folded up in the attic or still in scraps in patchwork quilts, and their grannies were right there to tell them (just like my 2020s niece recently tried on some 1960s dresses that belongd to my mom). And the word magenta has kept its meaning, even though it was also an aniline dye of the same era (and might be the dye in that first dress, aka fuchsine). So I don't know why the word mauve came to mean a muddy pale color, but I don't think it's because later generations were ignorant about historic dye colors. Apparently the color name "mauve taupe" was first used in 1925 for a muddy purple, so maybe that was the start of the shift.

PS, mauve is named for the French word for the mallow flower (probably this one, Malva sylvestris). I love it.

This is a fascinating addition that gives it way more context. I wish I had known it when I made the OP, especially given the views it's been getting.

Now I wonder if people in the 1920s thought mauve was that washed out grey-violet because of the fugitive nature of printer's inks?

Or maybe it was just one of those things.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

It’s really interesting to me; he’s surrounded by actors with exceptionally strong acting pedigrees: half the cast got their MFAs at Yale, Rickman went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, even Sam Rockwell went to a top flight acting school.

The scene is also shot with multiple cameras for coverage so everyone is doing this in one big take. When you think about all the scene entails of Allen—being physically manhandled and ridiculed by Sarris, having to watch the other actor he’s working closely with in the scene feel betrayed as he explains the nature of acting to him—it’s an intense scene and it would be easy to get lost in it, to lose your sense of self a bit and start to feel like it’s a little too real.

Here’s this standup comedian with a degree in radio disc jockeying from a state school, surrounded by Real Actors, having to Actually Fucking Act for the first time in his career, and he kinda pulls it off! I think that reaction shot of Sigourney Weaver is 100% genuine and hers.

Alan Rickman is definitely taking the piss and I have no doubt he probably didn’t like Tim Allen in general, but I can’t help but think he was simply stating a fact. Tim Allen experienced acting, probably for the first time. Because that guy hadn’t had to Actually Fucking Act before.

I turned back, and Tim is just completely emotional; heart-wrenching, actually. He says, "Yeah, I don’t like these feelings I'm having, I'd like to go back to the trailer." And Alan Rickman said, "Oh my God, I think he just experienced acting." /ID ]

Even if Alan Rickman disliked Tim Allen at first, they soon became friends. Five days after Rickman died, Allen wrote an article for The Hollywood Reporter about the friendship they built:

"I don’t think he liked me all that much when we first started shooting Galaxy Quest. I was a stage performer, a concert comic, and I was coming into this group of very polished thespians - Sigourney Weaver and Sam Rockwell and Tony Shalhoub and then Alan adding his English roots.

"All of them had this process and method - voice stretching and all that kind of prep - and it was so different from mine. I was doing penis jokes right up to action.

"I went to a very different school, shitty clubs and basements and big arenas. But then, one day on the set, Alan came to me and apologized. He said he mistook my behavior for lack of commitment. And we became very fast friends.

Highbrow Acting versus Comedy is very much like that. It may not look like there's etiquette in stage comedy...but there actually is, and a lot of effort that goes into making it look flawless. Comedic timing is harder to learn than physical stage blocking and delivering your lines because there isn't as much stage blocking. It's all based on what the audience is reacting to, and yes, you do have to change your performance based on their reaction. (This is why improv actors make good comedians and vice versa.) In a movie, show, or most stage productions, you don't do that.

Yes, Tim finally had an Actually Acting Moment. Good for him. And then Alan realized the dick jokes were Tim's vocal stretches, and realized yes, he does take this all seriously. it's just a completely different display of committment. A different method, literally, of acting.
