GIRLS! I. just found out something.
so in my psychology classes we have been learning about behaviorism and john b. watson. You might know him from the little albert experiment in the 1920s where he fucked over a small child by traumatising him w a white toy rat and a loud noise. You can look it up, it's wild.
Anyways, he also wrote child care book which basically said that children shouldnt receive any parental love bc it conditions them into becoming dependent on their parents, essentially holding them back from becoming successful later in life.
Watson also raised his four children accordingly (who all ended up w major psychological issues ofc) and one of his children, mary ickes watson, later had a daughter, mariette hartley, who became an actress.
AND THIS DAUGHTER.
THIS DAUGHTER PLAYED ZARABETH IN ALL OUR YESTERDAYS.
THERE IT IS. THE MOST RANDOM FUCKING CONNECTION IN EXISTENCE.
I WAS JUST LOOKING UP SOME STUFF I FORGOT FROM SCHOOL AND THIS IS WHAT I LEARN???
