have you read this yet?? https://t.co/a6jHmAWuii

its juliana canfield's thoughts on jess in s4

I hadn't yet! Thank you for sending it! God, I love her a lot, and I love the way she talks about the sort of moral and political situation Jess has both chosen and been forced into, as well as the interviewer drawing the connection between Jess and Sophie as collateral damage when it comes to Kendall's flaws, ambitions and choices.

I'm always so curious about Jess and Kendall's relationship, and I love the way both Juliana and Jeremy talk about it as one where he doesn't really see her as a person with her own life, and yet still values her and needs her in his own way, and that she' is, despite herself, attached to him, both for the opportunities he presents to her and just sort of for his own disastrous self.

It feels less symbiotically parasitical in that way than some of the assistant-boss relationships on the show like Logan's and Kerry's, or Tom and Greg's, while still being unhealthy and dehumanising in its own messy, specific way. It makes me really curious as to how long she's been working for him, what made her choose to interview for him in the first place. I'd love to know more about her background!

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

idk why people get super pedantic about the movie logic in Home Alone and start and try to pick it apart, because like, its a Christmas movie about a child accidentally being left home alone, the premise isn't exactly asking us to suspend our disbelief that much, and yet nearly every single "gotcha" question I see people bring up about this film is literally answered within the first 15 minutes :/

Following the author of The Last Unicorn on Facebook is the only thing that makes being on that site worthwhile.

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am
