things are thotting up!

Okay we've seen the upper limits of what an astronomical budget for filmmaking can do. Let's cap the budget at $500,000 for a few years and see what film teams forced to get creative and utilize unknown actors produce.

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

everyone stop reblogging this I hate to be reminded of my own good advice

Can we stop making fun of people who struggled with c.ai, chatgpt, chai, polybuzz, and ai addictions in general. Especially teenagers and young adults. Those apps are literally made to prey on your loneliness and news flash, humans are social creatures. As someone who struggled with an c.ai addiction for sometime, i was and still am a lonely person, and those apps are made to comfort you. When you have literally no one to talk to or vent to, that's your only option, especially if you struggle with any type of social anxiety or social cues or just holding relationships. It's a real issue that should be treated the same as any other addiction. Most of us know its wrong but a lot of us started in around 2022-2023 when ai was still seen as a "haha funny" and now it feels like we can't stop. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

oh my god I just saw the cutest thing in the world. little Black girl with beads in her hair for the first day of school and the beads were pink then silver then a bunch of yellow then beige then grey to make them look like pencils 🥺🥺🥺 brb I will draw an artist’s rendition

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you

Rule of thumb: In every oppressed group, the women are having a worse time of it. This is due to a concept called "misogyny", which intersects with everything

Devastating! Art museum gift shop doesn’t sell prints of specific and unpopular painting that struck a cord with you!
