Carrie — 1976, dir. Brian De Palma

What checking the news felt like this morning

To be loved as I love

Had to share

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being

Americans who say they don’t have a culture are plagued with defaultism beyond belief. Culture isn’t just made up of costumes and language and the largest stuff, it’s constructed of a billion small things you do every day that you never even consider could be different because that’s just “normal” to your daily life. No one has no culture just because they’re not adhering to the biggest markers they can consciously recognise.

Yes, I have these saved for exactly this reason.

I just keep thinking about how Ryland Grace used to be a regular at his local diner.
