Oh dear I hope I look presentable

my mom says you can come over for a play date on sunday but we cant go into the mirror world or the brutalist house or the bathhouse or the airport BUT the navidson hallway is fair game. and i also have pepsi but you have to bring your own lunch

It should be more stated how conservatives that make being afraid of cities a part of their identity are literally bragging about being exceptionally cowardly compared to the average American

I love writing. Would love to do it again someday

There's something gloriously obscene about movies. The idea of spending a hundred million dollars and several lifetimes to create a single work of art that's not very good

Everything everywhere all at once is a film about a girl ripping the entire universe apart just to find a part of her mother that she feels understands her. And everything everywhere all at once is a film about a mother ripping the entire universe apart just to understand her daughter. And my chest feels like it’s caving in when I think about it too long

I love how tumblr as a whole has done a 180 on the not like other girls phenomenon and somehow created an entirely new and completely antiquated form of misogyny that states that women who don’t enjoy conforming to gender roles are the real sexists because women who don’t naturally enjoy the roles placed upon them and refuse to submit it’s because of internalized misogyny and not because gender roles are restrictive bullshit

It's probably important to emphasize that the relaxation of child labour laws isn't directed at white children, or more broadly the children of middle and upper class American citizens. These changes to labour laws are intended to make it even easier for employers to exploit the labour of migrant children, who already make up a not unsubstantial portion of the manufacturing and meat packing sectors.

this reminds me of an explanation of fascism I heard about; it’s the violent reaction of capitalism to a socialist movement growing in power and strength. it’s not an explanation I find useful all the time, but that’s mainly because fascism strives to be ill-defined.

people who don’t watch horror movies are SO confident that they know everything there is to know about the genre. like it’s okay to not know things. it’s okay if you don’t like friday the 13th or whatever. i promise you don’t need to make an ass out of yourself on the internet about it

horror is an incredibly diverse genre, because there is potential horror in everything. it’s in nature, it’s in architecture and technology, it’s in human relationships, it’s in folklore, the past, the future, the mundane. there are horror movies from all over the world. it is straight up anti-intellectual to pretend that the handful of B slashers you’ve vaguely heard about comprise the totality of what horror has to offer. If you’re just not interested in horror, or if you dislike certain subgenres of horror, then that’s fine, you’re not obligated to like anything at all. but smugly announcing that you don’t like horror because you dislike a handful of VERY specific non-universal tropes is just as stupid as saying that you hate comedy because you don’t like adam sandler movies.

sorry jamie lee curtis is very talented but in what world does she win all these awards over stephanie hsu!!!

every stephanie hsu interview is like "i bared my soul from day 1 and i made choices that came from the gut and i had to portray 2 distinct chars that are actually the same person and then at points portray both at the same time" and all jamie lee curtis did was like. be a white woman

I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.

what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’
