For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, then, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that middle-class home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies”’ dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.

The Way We Never Were, Stephanie Coontz. 2016 edition.

ROBERT PATTINSON as MICKEY 18 MICKEY 17 (2025) dir. Bong Joon Ho

When it hits 9 pm and I pull out this combo:

Ps: I have severe writers block. Help

lady gaga on the charts... women thirsting over robert pattinson.... welcome back 2009

this scene was a standout for me and unexpectedly very moving. Nasha fiercely recognised Mickey’s humanity. Something that he’d been alienated from by his role as an ‘expendable’. After every death and reprinting Mickey was met with either cold indifference or the type of curiosity afforded to a lab rat. Mickey’s deaths were played as flippant and humorous till we saw how horrific and torturous they’d been. He would die and be reprinted repeatedly but she knew he held the memories of every death. Even though there was nothing she could do to stop this death, she did what you do when someone you love is dying, she comforted him. She got right in there with him to witness it so he didn’t have to die and remember this one alone

Robert Pattinson truly achieves poor little meow meow levels never before seen in Mickey 17

[simascreams]

What she sees in me, I got no idea. I'm just grateful.

I watched Mickey 17 yesterday, and I can not stop thinking about the sauce.

Because, when you are restricting calories, the pasta sauces and salad dressings are like one of the first things that you should cut from your diet.

Restricting calories is one things whole Niflheim colony is supposed to do.

Of course, we already see Kenneth Marshall and Ylfa being hypocrites and typical politicans and having a feast for themselves while people under their rules are having controlled portions.

So... why is the sauce repeatedly mentioned?

Why is Ylfa obssessed with making different kind of sauces and perfecting them?

Then it hit me with her using the baby creeper's tail to make a sauce.

When Marshall wanted to exterminate all creepers I was like yeah, this is a clear reference to Christopher Columbus and the indigeneous people.

But using the creepers' body parts, their tails, their life sources to make something as "rich" as sauce.

I think it was a direct reference to Britain colonisation of India for spices and colonisation of Africa for their natural sources.

Colonizing, taking what belongs to the natives of the land to make rich man's sauce.
