I love movies. I see a motion picture I start hooting and hollering. A series of images accompanied by sound? Buddy forget it!
This armistice day, let us remember that the people can end wars via mass action. It's no less possible today than in 1917 and 1918.

My grandma always used to say actions speak louder than bones
"Harry Potter" actor Paapa Essiedu supports trans people and says "I don't want to talk about [J.K. Rowling] at all."
"I believe, in my bones, that trans people, queer people, people of all creeds and color have got the right to be treated with respect and dignity and safety at all times— whether they’re in the workplace, whether they’re at home or in the street, whatever. That’s the creed by which I live." (via Vanity Fair)
Before his casting, Essiedu signed an open letter condemning the U.K. Supreme Court for ruling that transgender men and women are not legally considered men and women. Rowling responded at the time by tweeting: “I don’t have the power to sack an actor from the series and I wouldn’t exercise it if I did. I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.”

My contribution to the Club Kid discourse: I saw a short film from the director once that I thought was truly awful. Not interested in anything else from him.

Just so everyone knows, a good chunk of this page is about Western movies & a good chunk of the people who made Western movies were leftist/communist. If you can't handle that fact, take your candy-ass back to Facebook.

spent years learning my ABCs and we never sang the fucking song in college even once :/
Strange how in high school students are taught to read literature by just focusing on the text and looking for formal elements (metaphor, irony, meter, etc)...but then in college they NEVER hear about any of that ever again, and instead are taught to read endless "theory", or secondary sources about the author's "political context," or simply to project present-day ideological obsessions onto the story (which they might as well just skim).

Boyfriend got a “scrub daddy”. It’s odd having another masculine presence in the house. It’s boyfriend, Salami, me, and scrub daddy now. It’s a lot of intense, masculine energy 24/7.

Funkadelic - Can You Get to That
Maggot Brain is perhaps better known for the two monumental pieces that bookend it, but for me, the filling is the more rewarding part of the sandwich. Like this.
1971.

First, they messed with Charlie Kirk. Then, they messed with my brother’s friend Aaron. Then they messed with the keys on my computer keyboard, put all the keys in gay places that make you go to gay websites automatically with no input whatsoever. Then they messed with movies.
