  please watch grown-ish. it is fucking delightful....

this sounds awesome, though as a bi white jew, I should say that white jews are indeed white.

oh sure sure, but they immediately and consistently drew attention to her faith, so based on the fact the rest of the main cast are 5 black characters, 1 south asian character, and 1 latin character, i think they are carefully indicating that her whiteness is conditional/different

i have not done one of these in years. YEARS.

  catching up* on season 4 of JTV and thinking about...

probably worth it in the long run for the Netflix distribution though. An extra hundred million people as a potential audience base and all that, which brings new fans in. The CW app is a little noodgy, but I’ve gotten good at just popping out my earbuds for a couple minutes during commercials

haha, DID YOU KNOW that i had to mute people on twitter when the last civil war trailer came out b/c my anxiety was off the charts? or that i may have dissociated after watching age of ultron b/c i was that offended by it? fun times

like, i still interact w/ mcu shit, don’t get me wrong (my tumblr has p much been all daredevil lately, i watched jessica jones and i still keep up with AoS), buuuuut when it comes to the mainstream mcu movies i just… i don’t, anymore. i haven’t seen one in theatres since gotg two years ago.

after aou… i’ve reached a point where if i see mcu shit that doesn’t pertain to those three shows, i start freaking out, and i cope with that by being ridiculously mean and snippy about them, b/c that’s how i cope w/ my anxiety. i’m particularly bad with the avengers films thanks to age of ultron. did i mention how much i hate that movie? i hate it.

OR would you like to discuss the years of my life i’ve wasted having to defend christopher nolan’s white ass from marvel fans who kept dogpiling on it b/c he had the nerve to not make it bright and fun? or how, because of that, people misinterpret the tdk trilogy as cynical despite the whole point being that batman wanted to inspire people to be good and that bruce wayne actually thought people could still be good despite all the shit happening in gotham? but they have a neutral color palette so they must be dour and negative.

I hope they straight-splain at you how you were relating to the game incorrectly.

Good points. I’m really considering it primarily from a monetary perspective because I’d like a newish car and I really don’t want something cheap but that will have tons of issues--and like every other young adult I’m super strapped on funds. It’s weird because everyone in Europe drives a stick... I really don’t understand why North America went to the automatic (at least in our generation). Manual cars are cheaper, more reliable, and like you said are way better on gas.
