You know, when I'm away from you, I think of you as a monster or a woman possessed, and then I see you again and all this disappears.

Yesterday, Disney asked users on Threads to use Disney quotes to show how they are currently feeling. To say that this did not go according to Disney's plan would be an understatement 😂
They deleted the thread, but they should know that this doesn't help because now the videos are making their rounds 🤣😂

Jesus fucking Christ
The unfortunate thing about this, is that when informed about this is that Liberals will latch on to the competence and their idea of fixing the problem will be "better screening" and "proper training" rather than the fact that the agency should be abolished.
Gavin Newsome has already walked back his criticisms of ICE after the lightest challenge by Ben Shapiro.

Seriously wild how the specter of AGP hangs over so much of how we're allowed to describe what we want. In transfem and some trans spaces we can say we want big tits because we want them, or that we want a vagina. But there's something specifically about the way that I feel like I have to frame it differently around doctors, around so many other people. It can't be wanting breasts it's dysphoria about my chest being too small. That was true once upon a time but honestly it's not anymore, I just want a bigger rack now cause I want one? I have to phrase it as I have bottom dysphoria, I don't want a penis. That's not really it either and never has been, I'm ambivalent about that I just want a vagina. But that makes me an AGP pervert not someone who needs the medical care, clearly. It genuinely took me years to figure out I actually wanted bottom surgery because of this crap, because I didn't have bottom dysphoria. And it's just like, cis women are allowed to like having a vagina and not have to frame it as hating the idea of having a penis. But I, a trans woman.
wanting to feel sexy as a trans woman is a perfectly normal thing and is only pathologized because of transmisogyny, cis women are allowed to want to be sexy, cis men are allowed to want to be sexy - more confidence and having more sex are touted as benefits of boobjobs when cis women consider them (and they are benefits), but when a trans woman wants a bigger rack we are perverted and weird
i don't believe in an afterlife but i wish blanchard would face consequences for the harm he's caused women

Guess there’s some justice in the world. You suffer, you go through hell. Then happiness comes along or everyone.
Giulietta Masina as Maria ‘Cabiria’ Ceccarelli LE NOTTI DI CABIRIA (1957), dir. Federico Fellini
I feel like I should say that, when I was defending Sweet Charity as a musical a few weeks back, I was not putting Shirley MacLaine ahead of Giulietta Masina. Masina's performance is clearly superior. 🥰
I adore MacLaine in Sweet Charity and other films, but Masina gives some of the most extraordinary performances I've seen in this and La Strada.

People watching Lili and/or Carnival!: omg, Paul is so abusive, why does Lili end up with him at the end???
Those of us that read the novella Love of Seven Dolls:
Explanation: the movie Lili and the stage musical Carnival! that's based on it are both based on a short story by Paul Gallico, who later wrote a novella, Love of Seven Dolls, inspired by the movie. And... I wouldn't personally recommend the novella, but if you do decide to check it out... read at your own risk. (spoiler: there's racism and sexual abuse.)
@ariel-seagull-wings will definitely agree with me on that one.
(the short story is definitely more tame, but I feel that both the movie and the musical did a MUCH better job at developing the romance.)
...Fascinating. I may test that "would I prefer if the story was darker?" question I had at some point then.
You can read the literary equivalents on the hiper links to compare and contrast.
Have the novella saved to my Internet Archive favorites now!

“That picture is taken from Disney’s cartoon "little match girl”…. [link]“
disney truly adapted this beautifully, setting it in russia and making it a silent film was a stroke of pure genius!

The New Year’s sun rose upon a little pathetic figure. The child sat there, stiff and cold, holding the matches, of which one bundle was almost burned.
“She wanted to warm herself,” the people said. No one imagined what beautiful things she had seen, and how happily she had gone with her old grandmother into the bright New Year.
