Cast aside all your beliefs

why are you a filmmaker with millions and millions available to you afraid of light and contrast

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

formative years? aren’t they all?

As a principled feminist I'm often tempted to say shit like "are men capable of higher thought" but then I have to remember not to perpetuate gender essentialism and change it to "why do men choose not to think about anything"

[Image ID: A tweet by Lauren Lee Smith (@lololeereverie). It reads: "I love how old books are not constrained by modern publishing rules like "getting to inciting events quickly" or "using every scene to move the plot forward." Last night I read four pages about a guy standing in a freezing sheep field at midnight, watching the stars, and perhaps a modern editor would have called it "rambling" or "unnecessary". Cut this, cut that. Except this morning I woke up thinking about that field and it's beauty as though I stood there myself, last night, while I slept. Spying on Thomas Hardy's Farmer Oak through time, and all I did was read it." /End ID.]

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
