After I finish reading my current stressful politically heavy book, I think I'm going to take a break and read the Narnia books. Give me Lion Jesus and Santa Claus and a Snow Witch!
Either when they start writing fanfiction or when they start complaining about how much they hate the newest entry online.
MT CAT: meow
ME: really?
CAT: meow
ME: and then what?
CAT: mrrowwww
ME: well sometimes it be like that I don’t know what to tell you
Clive Barker knows what's up
Oooooo!!
Thanks for being a fly on the wall, here. This makes me so sad...
After all, Inside Out had nothing to do with heavy conversations. When a kid asked their parents why Riley was sad, THAT was an easy conversation. Siiiiigh...
What the fuck is this?
The open beta is going great, and it's shaping up to be a great space! I'm sure Minnesota will be welcomed happily!
It's so good! I'm really enjoying it
Ew! Noooo!
Right?? So good!
The comma after "is" must signify a pause that happened when the user tripped, fell on a banana peel, got up, and then continued the sentence.
Like, I don't want to be "Old Man Yells at Cloud" here, but reality TV is so harmful. It teaches people that "righteous indignation is the funnest form of dopamine," and so everyone constantly pursues that feeling online, getting involved in trending discourse just because they want to be angry.
Reality TV. Even the game show reality shows like Traitors and RuPaul's Drag Race. They're not enjoyable. I get that people like them and that's fine, but I would rather use my limited free time to rewatch a show I've already seen than watch a new reality show. I just don't get the appeal at all.
I should add that I'm not being flippant. The government shouldn't be involved in parenting children, and the best way to encourage parents to actually parent is bring back shame. If the public attitude is "kids on social media makes as much sense as kids in a coal mine," the kids would benefit.
Oh my god YES! Anything that involves a sweet adorable kitten ghost talking to death is an instant nope. They're so cheap.
We need to introduce looking at parents with a horrified look and going, "You let your CHILDREN on social media?!?"
Would that mean a necromance would be a love story featuring a wizard and a dracula?
Bandcamp Fridaaaaaaay! I just grabbed a bunch of ambient and vaporwave stuff because the world is upsetting and terrifying, and I need something to quiet my brain down while writing.
Drop something RED 👠🍒🖤🍷🚘
At work, there's this new program we're going to use, and the devs scheduled a teams meeting with the office so they could teach us how to use it. Because I'm "good at learning," management had me attend the meeting solo so I could write a summary for the rest of the team... I've become an LLM...
as long as crowds of people swarm theatres to see them, they'll keep making them. I can't wait until we move beyond the "frothy musicals of the Depression to distract people from tragedy" era and enter the "Film noir of the 40s and 50s" era, whatever form that may take.
All I can think of is Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt...
It's always changing, but Antony and Cleopatra, Henry V, and Midsummer Night's Dream are my faves. I love how Shakespeare deals with flawed, complicated people. And the best production of Midsummer I ever saw was set in 1920's New Orleans, and the blend of accents and dialects fit the world so well!
The Wachowski Sisters' The Waste Land. I don't know HOW one would adapt that poem for screen, but I feel like they could do it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no, that sounds absolutely terrible.
I uh......did NOT catch that the last time I read it...yikes, lmao
I guess it depends on which source. Ovid is the one who had Medusa getting cursed with ugliness, but Pindar says they all three were snake-haired monsters. (According to Natalie Haynes).
