anyway, it’s about old friends

this is actually like my third or fourth rodeo so i sort of get it but sort of dont

in some ways worse than my first rodeo cause i feel like i should be better at it by now

i really enjoyed the odyssey. i found the themes and filmmaking quite moving. kill me or whatever

listen. tony talk. I’m rooting for great comet for the SOLE REASON that if deh wins it means more producers are gonna go for that dumbass faux-rock, JRB-lite, trying-too-hard-to-be-edgy, white-26-year-old-who-went-to-nyu-and-listened-to-too-much-next-to-normal sound and I just CANNOT fucking deal with that for too much longer. there is more than one way to write music that sounds contemporary and also, stop repeating the lyrics over and over

what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

i cannot do another round of "is shaving feminist?" discourse again, i simply cannot do it. is shaving feminist? no! do feminists shave their bodies? yes! is this a deep betrayal of principles? not really! do some women actually shave for the mythical "sensory reasons"? well, considering that my number one reason for shaving my legs in the summer is because my ceiling fan blows on the hair and i'm constantly having mini freakouts that i've got a bug crawling on me, i'd imagine some do! is it okay for a woman to say to herself "i realize i'm mostly doing this because i don't want to be treated worse by people in the world who find my unshaven legs disgusting, but i'm still going to do it because i don't think suffering for no reason is virtuous" and shave? yes! will yelling at her to "think critically about her choices" until she agrees with you actually work? no! does any of this make it any easier to get an abortion in this country? nope! have we replaced the "is this pop star a feminist?" discourse of the 2010s with "are your personal choices antithetical to the tenets of feminism?" discourse in the 2020s, none of which is conveniently focused on the actual loci of power?? hahahahahahaaaaa

Dogs serve as a kind of virtue eater for Americans to pour all of their kindness into without the risk of improving society or being nice to someone with any agency

im so sorry that you're doomed by the narrative but i really need you to answer my message on Microsoft Teams
