YEAH BABYGIRL NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG

why is “keep on livin’” by le tigre labeled as “cry for everything bad that’s ever happened” on spotify 😭

just watched “the truman show” and holy shit im so mad 😭 i’m sure this was the intent with the movie but the viewers only cared about what the show said they should care about. even though everyone watching the show knew that truman was literally living in a fucked up simulacrum of real life, they consumed the show with excitement and obsession, and only a small group of people thought negatively of it. then, once truman wants to escape, everyone is rooting for him? they didn’t care when truman didn’t care, but now they cheer once he escapes? where was that support before he knew about the situation he was in? they’d been watching the show for almost thirty years and didn’t care until now.

AND THEN, once the show was over and truman escaped, after the short period of celebration from viewers, they were just like “okay, let’s see what else is on tv” 😧 so they only care about what the television tells them to care about, and then once they’ve gotten all the stimulation they can out of one show, they move on to the next thing. it’s probably not that far off from real life but it really grinds my gears to see it in a movie i guess

Woke up, still obsessed with Sinners.

Seriously, if you ever wanted to ask/wondered:

What and why our music means so much to the Black community, the roots from the past to the present

Why it's so deeply insulting to deal with the cultural appropriation and disrespect of Black music, given the depth of that meaning

How we use language, history, and context to determine when somebody ain't kinfolk despite pretending

How you might be allowed to forget that you're white, but we aren't allowed to forget that you're white, and that frames our interactions with you

How your allyship can fall oh so uselessly flat, no matter how well intentioned you may be, if you refuse to understand your position within the game

Why what scares you as fantastical is often a living nightmare for people of color, and how that history and social context can weave a horror story that hits close to home (I have a whole lesson on that!)

And more, go watch that movie 🙏🏾

thank you to whatever man broke frank ocean’s heart and caused him to make ‘blonde’ 😭

why am i just now learning that the opening track to hawaii pt 2 is called ‘introduction to the snow’ and not ‘introduction to the show’????

knowing in my heart that smoke killed remmick bc he knew that if he didn’t, he’d hunt sammie down to the ends of the earth.

versus smoke refusing to kill stack, bc smoke trusted his brother would keep his promise not to turn their little cousin, but he would not, absolutely would NOT, trust a white man not to go back on his word. even if they’d traded sammie in for their lives, remmick would have turned the rest of the juke joint just because he could 😂

challengers is the revival of bisexual cinema

all of the tags are literally killing me 😭 theres so many

sorry yeah we queer coded your boyfriend. he’s arguing with his brash and emotionally reserved rival over something trivial for comedic effect. they have a special, vaguely suggestive bond that sets them apart. hm? oh uhh. yes they are blue and red
