if uni was more like RuPaul's Drag Race
rupaul: *walks over to my table* hiii flora!
me, typing away at my laptop: hi ru!
rupaul: what are you working on honey?
me: well, the assignment was to write an analysis of a movie from a film-philosophical perspective, so I'm writing about "Solaris" and using Jacques Rancière's theory about cinema in the aesthetic regime, proposing that "Solaris" gives the viewer a different frame of reference to the concept of reality when compared to representationalist art of the 19th century!
rupaul: uh-hu I see. Well you've been criticized a lot on this show for not showing versatility and hiding behind the discourse of well-known authors. How do you plan to improve that if you're going to basically apply Rancière's theory to this film and not offer any unique insight of your own?
me: *the shade button sound plays as clips of me looking stupid are edited together to make it seem like i'm speechless*
rupaul: Well, it looks like you've got your work cut out for you. alright, get to work!
me, stammering: thank you ru..
me once rupaul leaves: this is a mess. I've got to start from scratch. Now i'm STRESSED!! But I do NOT want to go out on that runway looking like an idiot with half-baked discourse

feminism never taught me to hate men but it did help me realize that i shouldn’t prioritize them over women & it turns out that alot of men consider that to be hatred lmao.

Satire is officially dead and buried and over because nothing will ever be as self-satirising as this gif of Steve Bannon surrounded by Saudi dignitaries during Trump’s visit.
That is the face of a man who’s life-preserver of white supremacism has just dissolved in the sea of real-life.
