I bought tteokbokki from Costco because I was hoping to kick my craving for cheap and I left some for my dad because God forbid he try something new…and he washed the sauce off because it was “too spicy” and I “shouldn’t be eating that shit anyway.” I feel like we are both villains in a very bad diaspora webcomic or a terrible poem…
there are embarrassing things from my past that i still go back to from time to time, or to which i can give a nod of acknowledgement as if we are ex-friends passing on the street. mild weeaboo tendencies. clay aiken. my high school edgelordy tendencies (bill maher). house/wilson. a dalliance with the mcu.
but the fact that i was a destiel shipper. a misha collins stan? that was a different person. i see a gif of them and i don’t know who they are, or who i was, or what i saw in them. i feel like an amnesic fog. not that i am repressing, or forgetting, but like i never was.
a depressing thing about hollywood is that the actors are still coked up and malnourished and emotionally abused but they can’t even dance like they did in the 1950s. like oh wow you’re gonna write, direct, and star in an eight-episode humorless comedy miniseries about the most difficult breakup of your life where you come to terms with the fact that you were partially to blame and love wasn’t enough to save you???? sooo cool. can you backflip off a wall three times? can you do fourteen hours of takes while having aluminum paint directly on your body? fucking dunces.
Hollywood used to at least pay for the actor’s education etc. We can’t expect the workers to do the work when they aren’t even recieving the education anymore. It’s like going to a modern opticians and complaining that they aren’t making the glasses themselves like they used to.
yeah so it turned out the 2024 election was actually about deciding who would run the federal government–a liberal woman or a raping white supremacist who’d previously tried to overthrow the government–and not about Sending a Message regarding your laundry list of personal grievances and your poser, radical identity. That’s why there have been devastating consequences to letting the insane rapist win and Trump 2.0 isn’t, in fact, just a continuation of the stability you took for granted under Biden with the added bonus of owning da libs like you thought it’d be. womp womp.
did you see the blatant Tumblr Fake Story some gay man in SLC tried to post on Threads about how a bunch of evil straight women fujoshi took over an entire "non-gay" bar (he claims he was somehow the ONLY man at this bar at 4 pm) to show a screening of every Heated Rivalry episode and he was wearing a "gay af" shirt, and all the mean women kicked him out because "his presence was making them uncomfortable, as a man who might get off to this" and EVERYONE CLAPPED. (no, really, there is an "everyone clapped" in this story!) and somehow ALL these people bought into it and reposted it on Bluesky where it made rounds of Very Concerned "progressives" until a few queer women on Bluesky started saying "hey, this looks really suspicious, and I can't find a single bar in Salt Lake City that was advertising this on Instagram like he says" and of course he starts melting down and talking about "lawyers" https://bsky.app/profile/leemoviemeister.bsky.social/post/3mcckfmoq3s2j
I'm sorry but is our children learning? how the fuck are these "Down with cis bus" tier fake stories still catching believers in 2026? It's so tiring as a queer woman whose fujoshi-dom began in anime fandom 20 years ago to have to see this awful misogynistic discourse I've seen go around the bend 50x in a gazillion different fandoms, make it into mainstream media discourse now with this show - which we should be able to just celebrate! and not be like, oh shit, now normies are going to be vomiting the same misogyny I've been getting from "queer fandom" my whole fucking life. (it's also not lost that it's generally QUEER WOMEN questioning this story and this gay guy is pulling out the same "Evil oppressing straight women" line in response to this!)
oh my GOD i saw the original threads post and was like “lmao well clearly that didn’t happen” and moved on, i had no idea about the rest of this drama. people are so fucking credulous and at a certain point you just have to accept and say out loud that this pushback is coming from a specific subset of gay men who hate women and don’t want to be associated with women in any way and hate this show because it is forcing them into community with us and want their fellow gay guys who are both fine with the show and with sharing space with queer women to be radicalized against us by turning it into an us-vs-them, oppressed-gays-vs-evil-oppressive-straights thing. on the one hand it’s literally so fucking funny that so many people took this bullshit at face value but it’s also incredibly depressing how little capacity folks have to evaluate whether an outlandish “and everyone clapped” story they’re reading on the internet is true….
ummm i actually found a picture from the night in question…
“don’t assign human morality to non human things” is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten
yesterday I had the thought “visual novel for normal people” (?) and halfway through making this image (which I thought would be really funny) I realized it was completely meaningless
emerald fennell makes movies that i should like but i watched promising young woman and will never ever give her another chance. her inbred lineage shows in her writing. she has more castles than brains.
At brunch, a goldendoodle was staring longingly at his family’s meals waiting for scraps. Luckily I had just come from the dog cafe so I asked if I could give him freeze dried liver treats as a consolation. He was grateful!
