i didn’t like Lisa Frankenstein as much as I thought I might and now I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with me. Like the opening credits are gorgeous, the overall aesthetic is great, everyone acts really well, the music is awesome, but it just didn’t… go? (For me.) I don’t know. And the folks on the mainly-movie-discussion discord I hang out on all seemed to love it and we’re all generally on the same page there.

Of course I also worry that I’m a threadkilling jackass over there. In the book channel I summed up Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died with “could have died sooner tbh” and, uh, crickets. Oh it’s okay when someone else says something that could be borderline insensitive but when I do it, I’m the world’s biggest butthole.

Ugh. I just don’t know how to have friends or acquaintances. Is it the ADHD, the autism, being an asshole, or a combination of all three? I’m under no impression that I’m a smol bean mouse in a jean jacket, but I didn’t think I was that bad.

#cosmic thoughts #i’m kind of a butthole i know #sometimes i don’t know the difference between being blunt and being awful #and i know intent doesn’t matter as much as effect #(affect?)#but if I can’t figure that out then i guess I’ll just keep to myself eventually #like one time in a bible study i said that the Bible was a bit of a game of telephone #one lady was utterly delighted and some seemed horrified #but come on! it’s oral tradition and empires and kings #the message was going to be shredded at some point during all of that #I’m not saying it’s a wholly bad document or you can’t study it and love it #just that you have to take it with a grain of salt sometimes #there are parts of the Bible i love! but i also know it’s an imperfect document #sigh #where was i even going with that #i don’t know #but if you’ve read Jennette McCurdy’s book and you also agree her mom was a monster #let’s be friends
