These tags on my post about the guy saying “that was so cool” after I blew him twice are killing me. My favorite type of sex interaction
imagine you walk into the gym and literally every person on the treadmills is just sprinting full speed
"Tattoos are becoming unpopular", "piercings are unpopular again", "keep your hair natural never dye it again, it's the trend now" literally fuck off I know what y'all are doing
at the risk of being cringe with everything going on — this week, the last six months, the past five years — i keep thinking about that one quote from the great gatsby
“they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
it’s just every day now, huh.
imagine being manfred von karma. turnabout goodbyes trial day 2. you've nearly completed your perfected rube goldberg machine ass revenge 15 years in the making. your victory is inches away and Straight Larry walks in stage left and blows everyhting up
some of yall need to go back to like preschool level 'girls can do anything boys can do' feminism bc we are regressing into feminine = frivolous = weak = nurturing and masculine = power = force = competence at the speed of fucking light
We can look forward to Slo Pitch! It’s a lesbian softball web series that’s getting a Crave show adaption following Heated Rivalries success!
The show is in production, but the original web series is completed (it’s next on my watch list.)
Also for lesbians in softball, A League of Their Own series from Prime. Unfortunately canceled after 1 season, but it’s a great first season.
I know this is a commentary post, but at least we have something to look forward too. And while I can’t promise any lesbians, a spin off of Ted Lasso is in development that will be about a women’s football team. At the very least I’m excited for a show like that
Strong contender for most depressing thing Charlie Brown has ever said
we are much alike
Eartha Kitt's career is just so iconic because there's no way you don't know her even if you don't know you know her. You like Christmas music ok well she's Santa Baby. You like Disney animated movie ok well she's Yzma. You like Disney Channel original movie ok well she's Madame Zeroni. You like comic book ok well she is Cat Woman. She won.
You like making the racist wife of a war mongering president cry on national television? She did that
You like laughing at the very idea of needing a man? She's your role model.
she was also a very cool activist and its worth looking up everything shes done
they're saying spending 2 hours in the word doc changing words slightly to be more specific and evocative and moving endless commas around is one of the most noble and respected things that you can do
lmao god, english upper class people... I was reading Mathilda, and there's all these monologues about the protagonist going insane from loneliness and not knowing how to act when she finally strikes up a friendship again; she has retired to a cottage in the woods and is essentially in hiding. All this time we're given the impression that she is utterly alone in that cottage. Much woe about the completeness of her loneliness. and then.
what do you mean your servant ...? in your cottage in the woods where you were so utterly alone? that one?
pt 2, this time Frankenstein by the same. Said Frankenstein is greatly relieved when he returns and the 'apartment was empty' because this means his monster has fled. but then
...did that servant materialise out of thin air to bring him food in his room. The place not actually empty, just empty of people of his own class. he just left the servant and his monster with each other while he was out.
Eventually the monster was like "well this is awkward. I'm out." and the servant presumably just filed the encounter under "weird shit upper class people do" and went on with his life.
I remember taking this college elective on film adaptations and we talked about the controversy caused by the PBS adaptation of Emma, which made a point of putting servants in every. single. scene, confronting the audience with the reality that the main characters are surrounded by servants constantly and are choosing not to acknowledge their presence. Emma is consoling her "poor" friend Harriet over her misfortune and the entire time a servant is standing there silently brushing Emma's hair or some shit. Virtually every other adaptation of Emma does a very good job of invisiblizing the constant presence of the working class labor force that allowed these people to live the way they did.
If anyone is interested the murder mystery Gosford Park specifically explored this phenomenon. Roger Ebert did a review of it here.
there's another murder mystery by G. K. Chesterton called The Invisible Man that worked because the murderer was a postman and people just literally Did Not See Him
