the last time i ate banana bread was during breakfast at school and honestly it's better than the rest of the school lunch

banana bread is a quality bread and i feel like it’s simply not appreciated as much as it could be where my fellow banana bread lovers @

Posting a bunch of text posts is getting old and had to keep up with the damn movie so below are my thoughts. Enjoy.

- So if Shere Khan has sworn to kill Mowgli then how the hell did that news get to the wolves? Did Shere Khan show up and go - OKAY LISTEN UP

- “It’s too big around, Mowgli says.” It’s. too. big. around. These jokes just about write themselves.

- Here comes everyone’s favorite non villain. I would classify Kaa as like an unfriendly acquaintance. 

- Please go to sleep.....please go to sleep. This little song just cracks me up.

- He wont’ be here in the morning. Lol. God damn this snake is funny.

- A sssserious missssstake.Mowgli is just what happens if we push these coils off?

- oh my god here it comes. brace yourselves. HE’S GOT A KNOT IN HIS TAIL. YES. YES. YES.

- Okay Bageera - Mowgli just saved your life. No need to be a damn sour puss about it. Go to sleep. And he’s just like angry muttering.

- At what point in the night was Mowgli like I’ll just sleep on your ass man if that’s chill.

- Mowgli how the hell do you know what a parade is?

- One of these damn elephants is high as fuck and I will be taking no other questions at this time.

- Jesus everyone just tells Mowgli to STFU. No wonder he fucking bolts at the end.

- The fact that Mowgli can walk on all fours is just unsettling on all costs.

- How do you just tell you wife, I’m going to lead a army of elephants and you’re gonna be in it.

-What does one have to not do to have a “dusty muzzle”

- Also he says what happened to your trunk and THEN realizes he’a fucking human? Jesus

- Also damn the word of Bageera must mean a lot.

- Winnafred old girl...yeah I don’t know if I like that.

- You know how just turn your herd around on the turn of a dime?

- SOMEONE DIDN’T TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR DRUNK AT THE END OF THAT COLLISON.

- You know how you tell the wolf pack that you’ll be so fine taking the mancub and then halfway through you’re like nahhhh fuck this kid? That’s not helpful to anyone. What happened to the word of Bageera?

- WELL IT’S A DOO BA DE DOO. AND IT’S A DOO BA DE DOO. I MEAN A DOO BEE DOO DEE DOO BEE DOO BEE DOO BEE DEE DO. Anyone else that he’s saying doobee? You know like a joint?

- Well Bageera if you hadn’t have left him alone like you told the Colonel you wouldn’t.... remember you said something about your word?

- DO ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE KNOW EACH OTHER? LIKE REALLY?

- He’s tickling Baloo....i’m uncomfy.

- Well yes Baloo. That’s what they do in the Man Village. They make men out of people.

- And cue iconic song. snack time...this whole scratching yourself sequence makes me wanna look the other way.

- it calls for some “big scratch?” I’m not joking here.

- Although the trumpet in this little is going the fuck off. and i don’t even mind.

- so Bageera this is now the second time you walked out? Well done dude. You suck at this.

End of Act I

- i will say this whole lead up to the smack is pretty hilarious.

- In short - these monkies are assholes.

- Bageera you can’t be proud that shit didn’t work you out. YOU LEFT HIM AGAIN.

- Cue 2nd and last iconic song in this movie. 

- Mowgli really does have a temper transtrum

- how the hell are all these animals talking? are they in a group thread?

- Actually Fall Out Boy’s cover of I Wanna Be Like You kinda slaps

 - The weirdest little dance off here.

- Balloo is me when I hear a good beat

- IM GONNA MAN SOLID GONE

- a small grass skirt and coconut shells of the mouth relaly confused you all? damn

- that’s what I call a swingin party.

- Seriously though - Bageera is fucking racist. He legit said “birds of a feather should flock together.” Come on now.

- HERE WE GO SUBTLE SUNRISE IN THE BACK

- You know how their eyes just healed over night?

- Baloo you have legit known him for one day.

- How Mowgli isn’t like why are you all depressame street is weird. lol.

- I do love the subtle orchestral changes in Mowgli’s reprise in this.

- Mowgli you aren’t a bear. You’re a human.

- As long as I’m with you. Ope...you hear that slight theme of Till I’m Grown? Here we go foreshadow.

- The metaphor of You wouldn’t marry a panther doesn’t make any sense.

- And cue freak out of Mowgli. And instant betrayal.

-how does everyone manage to lose this kid. Jesus christ.

-Here he comes. Sgt. Badass. 

End of Act II

- this opening shot of Khan used to scare the shit outta me. God he’s so cool.

- He’s hunting a character that looks so close to Bambi’s mother it’s insane.

- God those eyes.

- “Beastly luck” - not only is Shere Khan angry and vicious, he’s also classy as hell. I love it.

- now Baggy you want their help come on now man. You gave them your word and that’ snot gonna go well if they’re smart.

- WOULD A FEMALE LEADING YOUR HERD BE SO TERRIBLE?!

- “And now for my rendezvous with the lost man cub.” THIS WRITING.

- I worry with how information circles this jungle. I mean seriously.

- The fact that Shere Khan doens’t buy any of Kaa’s story is amazing.

- The middle? there’s noting in there.”

- The fact that Shere Khan feels Kaa’s stomach just to make sure that Kaa didn’t eat him is amazing.

-Shere Khan saying Good Show is just fantastic.

- These vultures are the Beatles and I will hear nothing else at this time.

- The fact that Shere Khan comes in on the bass is just so delicious.

- And the fact that Shere Khan just claps for himself. I’m so here for it.

- “and thank you for detaining my victim.” you just dont’ hear that anymore. YES.

- He says I won’t run from anyone. As he’s run from like 3 people in this entire movie.

- I love this music so much. he grabbed a branch like let’s do this.

- The fact that Khan bites Balloo on the ass and there is no blood is not normal at all.

- It’s just fire. Like Shere Khan can and will come back. We know this.

- Baloo would just listen to his eulogy. Jesus Christ. 

- This for me is the most uninteresting part of the movie. Like completely honest.

- Father is hunting in the forest. DOES FATHER KNOW ABOUT SHERE KHAN?!

- the bottom line - Mowgli gave up all this for tits and a pretty smile. Okay then.

- I will say this though - the bop that we’re about to have for the ending.

- here the hell we go.

Thanks for tuning guys! Love ya!!!!

Everyone should be as unhappy as I am all the time

It’s not enough to organize, protest, attend meetings, call your representatives, and devote every second of your waking life to meaningful political action. You also need to sacrifice your emotional well-being. We’re living in the Trump era, which means that your mental health is a political statement. If you decide that you’re going to be happy and functioning and see humor in things sometimes and eat well-balanced meals and believe in God and think that life has purpose, you’re essentially saying “I am complacent. I think fascism is good. Mm-mm! Yummy! I’m a neo-nazi! I hate Jews and immigrants! I think we should return to McCarthy era blacklisting practices and start holding public executions for dissenting artists. I hate art.”

This brings me to another point. It’s okay to be an artist, but if you’re just “telling a story,” you’re not aligning yourself with the left and you shouldn’t make art. Every piece of art should be a piece of political rhetoric, none of that “one time there was an individual with a life and he had feelings and loved people and then some personal stuff happened to him, isn’t that interesting, derp derp da derp derp.” I’m using he/him pronouns because every time you write about an individual, you’re essentially reinforcing a cisheteropatriarchalhegemonical power structure and saying “hello out there, how’s it going, I believe that people should be referred to as individuals because we’re not a collective, each for himself, my name is Ayn Rand, the individual is the most important thing, I probably study finance, the American Dream, I don’t think collective action is important and we shouldn’t have a minimum wage and I think only rich people deserve human rights and I want to make everything harder for marginalized groups, I hate gay people and I think hypermasculinity is sexy, shoop boop be doobee doop.”

The most important thing we can do is organize collectively, and one way we can do that is by only referring to ourselves as a collective, and only thinking of ourselves as a collective. This has certain implications, such as foregoing taste. Taste is a construct that was invented to segregate people and having a taste in something just means that you’re an impressionable conformist who lives to maintain the existing power structure. Conformity is only good on the left. Conformity is great, it is what I am currently advocating, because we need solidarity, but also you need enough critical thinking skills to know how to conform in the right way. The only right propaganda is left propaganda.

It’s always so funny to me when someone calls themselves an activist and then they shop at Whole Foods and read literature and appreciate new wave cinema. It’s all like “BLARR DEE BLOOP BA DER DA DERRR, I know how to appreciate French film because of all the cultural capital I inherited and cultural capital is linked to economic capital but I’m just gonna ignore that and keep watching French films even though it’s just a way to distinguish myself as an upper middle class person!! I think all poor people who haven’t seen Citizen Kane should all just go sit in an incinerator and die so I can be toasty warm while I sit on some leather sofa with goose feathers in it and use electric blankets even though I’m an environmental activist and eat some quinoa because I don’t care about how quinoa production effects people in other countries and I can afford quinoa and I just love talking about quinoa so everyone knows I’m an upper middle class person with social capital and then I’m gonna watch Casablanca which I’ll understand the political implications of because of all my educational capital which is linked to economic capital and look how much capital I have because I just love capitalism sooOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

STOP. WATCHING. AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE’S 100 GREATEST AMERICAN FILMS 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (2007) APART FROM THE SOUND OF MUSIC BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS SO GOOD AND SO PURE DESPITE WHAT CULTURAL CRITICS WILL SAY ABOUT THE SUBTLE IDEOLOGICAL UNDERTONES IT’S JUST SO SWEET AND POIGNANT ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY’RE YODELING AND SINGING ABOUT THE GOATHERDS AND DON’T ACT LIKE “CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN” DOESN’T MAKE YOU CRY EVERY TIME AND MAKE YOU HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR NUNS DESPITE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT ORGANIZED RELIGION THOUGH ACTUALLY SOME ORGANIZED RELIGION CAN BE OKAY SUCH AS LIBERATION THEOLOGY I DO THINK THERE IS SOME VALUE TO THAT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN OKAY?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

We just need to come together. Despite economic differences that are indicated by our taste in movies. So if we can just all agree on the same two or three movies and stick with those, that would really help with solidarity. I propose Sorrow and the Pity, Reds, and The Parent Trap. This rule also applies to food. We just want stuff to be neutral and unpretentious and lend itself to collective organizing. Canned peaches, for example. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. The chex part of chex mix. That type of thing. But the most important thing we need to agree on is our emotional state. If you want to indicate that you are on the side of the resistance, you need people to know that you are not okay with the current state of affairs. Public crying or screaming is the best way to communicate that you are not okay but in general just try not to exhibit signs of pleasure, the most obvious being a smile, but including more subtle indications such as a contented sigh or jubilant tapping of the foot. We are not okay, and we need to be together in our not okayness. It is our duty to be sad together, and if you are not sad, you support Trump, you support authoritarianism, and probably when you watch Bing Crosby movies you feel nostalgic for minstrelsy and black face and sexist notions of gallantry and you let people hold doors for you and you’re a white supremacist. We have a long four years ahead of us. The least you can do is be sad the whole time.

hot take: the barbie movies have the same premise as jojo’s bizarre adventure and here’s why

 - each selected main character has a different name, but are supposed to represent "barbie" and/or are alternate versions of barbie (as with jjba, joestars) 

- the main objective of every barbie movie and jojo is to defeat a boisterous villain that pretty much eats people and is a copy and paste of each previous villain (ex: dio, the homophobic fairy from barbie fairytopia), and to look colorful as possible while doing so apparently as far as i’ve seen from jojo’s

- part 2 of jojos feels like that one princess and the pauper movie where the brunette and the blonde team up 

- giorno has the same color scheme as barbie - every barbie movie does something very different but stays in the same universe, just like how jojos does some wacky shit

- there's this one barbie movie called "barbie starlight adventure", which is like stardust crusaders due to namesake (of course) and because barbie and jojo are in a bad bitch club of their own for both the movie and the anime respectively

- both appeal to the gays 

- sometimes the "barbie" of a barbie movie is accompanied by a character with a purple color scheme. dare i say, JOJO STANDS
