Too busy sleeping.

i really im absolutely astounded at the phenomenal job that MIB did not to be racist against aliens, despite being a movie about secret agents chasing evil aliens. that scene where jay helps an alien mother to give birth is probably one of the most humanizing moments for an Other ive seen in a movie ever.

like it grabs the body snatcher trope from the cold war "aliens are all around you, hidden in diguzise, they could be any one of us!" and then it says "and theyre just people, theyre literally just people trying to live their lives and thats fine"

you literally have a whooe scene where a cop stands out because he says "i dont care how menacibg or threatning someone looks im not going to shoot them if there is a reasonable explination for what theyre doing, one is sneezing and one is just doing excercise", and that is the guy that gets aproved to join MIB.

The movie has a real love for NYC and immigrant culture as a part of that. The opening scene where K welcomes the undocumented immigrants to the United States. One alien greets another and says he's ordered him pierogi. A lot of them are refugees from their home worlds who just want to survive.

always good to have friends who are at least 5 years older than you and friends who are at least 5 years younger than you. being the youngest person you know will make you feel like an inexperienced child who knows nothing of the world. being the oldest person you know will make you feel like the joker.

every time i see a 19 year old friend do something successful i can be comforted by the fact i also know people who are 35 and unemployed. nobody has to run on the same time and the world is beautiful.......

And the older you get the wider this gap needs to be. At my age, someone within 5 years of me is basically my same age.

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Love that this is well beyond 7000 people now and still going

@leavescrown Exactly! It’s a beautiful gift. Martin and Bosco out there travelling around the Tumblr community, continually making new friends.

HOW IT SHOULD’VE WENT

this seemed so natural and correct to me that I had to read it three times before I realized what was wrong with it

OK, I am a huge defender of this movie, but I am ALL FOR THIS!!!

I’ll never forget when my 8th grade English teacher wouldn’t let a girl go to the bathroom and he saw the tampon in her hand and goes “oh so you were trying eat candy with out sharing with the rest of us, go ahead open it and share with everyone” and she looked so embarrassed so she responds with “I can’t open it now and share the candy because it’s a tampon for my bleeding vagina” and my teacher just stared at her in horror as she left the room.

Realigning for the tampon story

I would like to see more of these.

this is a thing in canada too like all you gotta do is say that youre driving
