Haha! Awww! I greatly admire your dedication, my dear. I’m so happy that you’re able to get the Shadow poster.❤️✨

trying to explain to my class that disdain for the appalachian accent is classism (we are in kentucky and half of these people were born here) and they look at me like i’m an idiot (i have an accent) ok. ok.
#anyways if you say that shit i hope you die#who said that#got told that i sounded like a hick a lot when i was a kid as if our neighbors didn’t literally have horses in their backyard#and the nearest town was an hour away#like yeah no shit lol. have a kid in ky she’s gonna sound like she’s from ky. whatever i barely even have a complex about it

Gael García Bernal in Desierto (2015, dir. Jonás Cuarón)
(these gifs also feature Alondra Hidalgo)
Gifs are all 540px wide so you can click to see larger.
[other gael filmography gifsets]
#gael garcía bernal#desierto#ggb filmography gifs#desierto 2015#gael garcia bernal#this is ultimately a pretty standard thriller of the being-chased-by-an-inexorable-killer type#where the cast is picked off one by one until only the most conventionally physically attractive remain#this is good news for gael's character#on account of being played by gael#i think this one is elevated by the setting both in terms of beauty (it is stunning) and by making effective plot use of it#that apparently meant they were shooting two hours' drive away from the nearest towns with no cellphone reception etc.#which may be why we don't see more films set here#also elevated by the performances which are uniformly good#also elevated by the themes (jeffrey dean morgan's antagonist is targeting migrants crossing the border)#so we're back in the territory explored in documentaries like who is dayani cristal but this time as fictional thriller#this film came out as the trump wall discourse was hotting up and that was naturally something that got talked about in interviews#clever inclusion of antagonist's dog which effectively constrains what the characters could do to get out of the situation#so unlike in many films of this type there isn't a screamingly obvious course of action that they should have taken but unaccountably don't#still it remains a genre film sticking broadly to the conventions of that genre so the plot isn't going to astonish you#i've still avoided giffing the most spoilery moments though#tbh i suspect gael's character is still screwed at the end but then i think that's also the point (see: themes)

Do you feel any of your oc's, characters, or even yourself... would feel comfortable in the homestead farm life, Or would the peace of living out there with no chaos be "boring" and unsettling for them?
ermm hmm for ocs relevant to this blog, butch was raised on a big farm so,, he's technically a farm boy. living in a city has not benefitted him that much lmao and he tries to get away from it as much as he can
#as for me i was not raised on a farm#so i would not be used to the life if i were to suddenly be dropped into a completely rural farm life#i hate cities though id rather die than live in a city#i kinda ?? live on town outskirts far away from like. any city#like the nearest college town is a half hour drive#its not completely country but there isnt much out here lmao#hghgh#sorry i havent drawn anything butch related i feel bad#life keeps Coming bro

This guy at a restaurant in London was super shocked that me and my friends had never been to New York and it's like my brother in Christ you're lucky I've been to South Dakota and I've lived in West Minnesota my whole life
#also he was shocked that the only store in our town wasnt a costco#like nope. its just named after some guy. super local store. the nearest Costco is like an hour or two away

i went to the bird park today and was just chilling near the lake and heard the LOUDEST scream i ever heard, it was some lady going “OH MY GOD ITS A CHICKEN” like girl same honestly
#kandi thoughts#i forgot to take pics smh#peacocks and swans and PIGEONS and you freak out over a chicken#*head in hands*#to be fair it is pretty weird to see a chicken in that part of town the nearest farm is about an hour away#chickens just have some sort of power

Ghost Towns (Kinda not really) pt. 5 Outlaw’s Cave and the surrounding area
#this was actually one of my first stops and was by Far the most stressful cause my cars tire popped right as I arrived at the campsite#couldn’t explore until the next morning and no one could get out there to help me due to how remote it was#luckily another guy was camping out there and he helped me switch tires the next morning and directed me to a tire shop in the nearest town#which was still over an hour away#and actually hiking to the cave involved wading across a pretty fast going river and scrabbling up an extremely steep hill covered in#snail shells and loose dirt#it was cool though and the views were amazing#I’d never seen red rock mesas in Wyoming before#travel logs#ghost towns#places#my photography

The whiplash online and offline right now is like nothing i've ever experienced. like with ukraine i saw consistent support and lack of both online and offline, but with palestine its like. online there's energy and emotion at the same levels as during the BLM protests but away from the computer it's like it doesn't even exist. I live in a smallish college town but we have more arab immigrants here than anywhere else in 300 miles and there's still just nothing, not a word spoken. in my choir we learned a Ukranian piece last minute to support our ukranian accompanist but this year our choir director like fucking implied that we don't have to worry that we're making a political statement by singing our syrian piece. I just do not understand the disconnect in compassion right now
#the performative american support of isreal is soul rotting beyond belief#the nearest protest was an hour away and 2 weeks ago in another city#its just baffling i haven't heard a whisper of any public support for palestine on campus#I've thought about reaching out to the local mosque but i don't even know if there are any palestinian atendees?#and like we don't have any palestinian campus orgs#we have like an arab one but i don't know if it would be appropriate for me to reach out to them#or god forbid if i did and it turned out we had some canary mission type org in town#this is the most helpless i've ever felt politically#donations do nothing because isreal wont let anything in#biden doubles down with every protest#isreal is set on annihilating gaza#and the only action palestinians say is doing something is fucking tweeting#but everything just keeps getting worse#so many people are trying so hard to help but the only people who can actually put a stop to anything don't care#and so all everyone else has is sentiment

Are you able to see the transformers movie tomrrow for the poster? 🤩🤩
Hi Hon!❤️✨
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch Transformers One on Friday. There’s a plethora of graduate school assignments and readings that need my attention. That, and I don’t live near an AMC or Regal to get the Sonic 3 poster.
However, if you’re able to get a poster, know that I’m incredibly happy for you. Get it nicely framed and display it proudly in your home.
#The nearest AMC is an hour away from me. The mom and pop theaters in my town don’t have the posters#mystery anon#off topic

i'm planning next week's picnic like if one thing goes wrong i'll be publicly beheaded. i'm locked in to such an absurd degree.
#also never shopping in my nearest town again maybe#i saw my cousin's ex who lives an hour away and her friend together which is so....... like wow i really thought i'd seen the last of him#very messy situation#started talking to a cashier/stocker i've spoken with on occasion for several years and she showed me some of her art & poetry (???)#got in line in front of one of my former classmate's dads who tried to proposition me right after my mom died#went to the new dollar store which has four self checkouts & one manned‚ tried to use a self checkout and the cashier said#'we don't have self checkouts' i said 'do you mean today or period' she said 'period' and we discussed how badly that's got them fucked up#they're literally running one of the self checkouts as a manned checkout when things get busy like...#and it was JUST built!! like just less than a year ago i think#i always come home from that town wanting to pull my hair out it's sooo strange!! like everything is craaazy#i also got fucking scammed!#i forgot to check until just now but the grocery store likes to run a weekly sale then not update the computers to reflect it#like they've done this for years and years#and i paid $1.99/lb for apples that were marked down to $1.12/lb so i overpaid a damn dollar#during the panini when it was my only source of groceries sometimes the difference would literally be like $50 because of big ticket items#i'd usually walk out‚ unload and read the receipt‚ then walk back in and get my refund. every friday.#and if i didn't i'd be out like $100/month for nothing on top of everything costing double what it did in the city#that place is fucking cursed. like there's just layers and layers of misery covering every surface.#adam yaps

lol deja vu
I am, again, trapped by a car breakdown in rural PA.
This time, no cats with me, and only 4 hours from home.
Tomorrow is the last day of classes and I have office hours (Zoom) in a half hour.
#it's not even the same car#nothing like being in a place the locals call nowhere#and having your roadside assistance say#the nearest tow is 4 hours away because mother's day#and we're not paying for it#so it's your problem now#find something or walk#and the nearest exit is 1.5 miles away#and it's not a town; it's a state park#and you have 6 bags of stuff including books and computers#because you're driving 12 hours back from a conference#and there's no reception but you're supposed to find tow trucks#your insurance can't.#excuse me what#lol anyway I'm trapped in PA at $133/night#and my uber to get to the car shop is $50 *cries*
