It's sad at the end of May seeing people reblog the "here it comes!" Pride logos post. You didn't notice that brands have decided it is no longer safe to openly support LGBT rights. The past 2 years have shown a dramatic decline in corporate sponsorship of Pride. And no, we don't care about the corporations, but you should care that they think the general public will oppose their support of LGBT rights. Anyway pay attention. The logos didn't change for Pride. It's bad.

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

I watched the live action version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.

Nala looking concerned about Simba hiding something about his past, a comparison:

Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.

One of the nastiest outgrowths of the Self Help Industrial Complex and the pseudo-psychiatric therapization of, well, everything, is this worrying trend of dividing the world into Givers and Takers, into Empaths and Toxic People, into Victim and Victimizer. The already warped and butchered idea of emotional labor has been twisted into a monster that devours the simple idea of establishing boundaries and shits out a foul heap of convenient excuses and categories to assure you that you are an ontologically good person who just needs to avoid ontologically evil people and to mete out emotional interaction in a totally transactional way in order to be safe. Sorry! We're all complex people who both provide and require emotional support to others! We're gonna get hurt! You don't get off that easy!

“I really did live and breathe Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I cared about Buffy more than I cared about my real life. And just having that consistency — when I was, like, 10, I watched the first season of that show while it aired, and was with it for seven years. And it was such a tool of dissociation for me. It was, in hindsight, I think, very much a coping mechanism for not being able to form the kinds of deep romantic relationships that other people can form when they’re an adolescent in the right body. I wasn’t in a place where I could open myself up to people, but here was this show that was so emotional, that I could have this relationship with.” -Jane Schoenbrun

BREAKING: inside sources have revealed that things are gonna get psychosexual after the All-Star Break. So keep an eye on that.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

You are judging Spock’s room through human associations tastes. Remember, Vulcan blood is green and the planet Vulcan is red (Discovery even adds to this by showing red trees around Sarek’s property).

On Vulcan, red is the color of nature, so (assuming Vulcans even assign meaning to colors), red is likely a very calm and soothing color choice. Green is probably the Vulcan color of passion and/or danger.

From a Vulcan perspective, Spock’s room is a cozy cottage core with some historical knickknacks hung around.

Kirk’s green carpet, green plants, green lighting room is the Vulcan equivalent of a boudoir at best or blood-stained slaughterhouse at worst.

so what you're saying is Vulcan children's hospitals-

One of the greatest moments in promotional interview history was when they asked the director of Jurassic World about the discourse around that bit where that lady is picked up by pterodactyls and then eaten by a mosasaurus, and whether she "deserved" it, and you would expect most directors to go "no, that's not how it works"

But instead Colin Trevorrow casually said "she earned that fate by being a Bridezilla", and then he must have realized, saying that out loud, how bizarre that sounded, bc he doubled back and immediately said "uh it was meant to subvert the idea that characters 'earn' their death, the point is it was random", to the person he had just said "she deserved to get eaten for caring about her wedding too much" to a second prior. Absolute masterclass sir

Characters dying for karmic reasons is a common thing in horror/monster media, see every slasher where people die after Taking A Drug or Doing A Sex, but it's not...really a thing in Jurassic Park? Re: subversion. There are examples, the lawyer running off in the first one, the guy taunting the compys & the head of InGen in the second, but a lot of characters escape no matter what they did. I mean, the creator of Jurassic Park escapes unscathed, the geneticist who created them leaves before anything goes wrong, the big game hunter in the second gets to leave the movie before the final act, and the most evil character in the franchise, Vince Vaughn in The Lost World, gets to cause every death in the film & escape to keep on sleazily hitting on women at Greenpeace meetings

Can’t stop thinking about this 236 mile long theoretical PDF. Talked about it on the phone with my friend earlier. PDF longer than the country of Belgium. Forbidden yet technically fully supported 236 mile long PDF. I’m obsessed.

"To call this place evil implies a clarity of purpose I do not want to attribute to anyone involved" is a quote I think about a lot & also it's from a parody of reality shows by The Onion called Sex House
