as inspiration from joan didion I’m buying coca-cola in bulk and idk if I should get cherry coke, diet coke, regular coke…😭 I think I might buy all 3 at this point. maybe it will accelerate my political analysis skills lol

Golden-age hollywood, especially the more niche parts (not just Marilyn Monroe even though she’s very cool). Topics such as Alla Nazimova’s circle, Dorothy Arzner, the original creator of Mädchen in Uniform etc. Even just the more raunchy films or music pre-Hays code.

The lore from the author of goodnight moon, I used to be really obsessed with her

Franz Kafka’s sleep schedule /j no but seriously I did an entire 30 minute project when I was like 13 on his sleep schedule

The one billion futures I planned out for myself 😔

The cereal scene from the J. Edgar movie, because it has a mention of babygirl lorena hickok in it. Also, Clyde is eating post toasties. I read the original script for that movie actually.

that’s my girl 😌😌 (2nd favorite journalist from this time period)

I think that her book/interview with Hitler ranks up there with one of the best nonfiction journalistic books of WWII/Great Depression. I think a lot of people criticize her for calling him a “little man” without realizing that on paper in the 1930s it was easier to predict that Hitler was nothing more than an egotistical little man. Like it was kind of hard to see this coming from the earlier stages of Germany. From a critical perspective, it was easy to call off his behavior as ridiculous, we all would if we were in these early stages of his time period and didn’t know what was to come. Unfortunately, so many people did not know what was going to happen. It’s hard and complex to understood the psychological desperation of the German people and whatever was going on there.

Just my perspective towards Dorothy Thompson’s analysis of the Nazi Regime and the hate that she usually gets for predicting that Hitler’s ridiculous behaviors wouldn’t go far. Anyways, very early on she realized her mistake and published many articles opposing Nazism, also her article Who Goes Nazi? is super well-written.

So from a prospective journalism major I don’t support any hate towards her. There was nothing she could do to prevent WWII anyways.

btw sorry if you guys don’t wanna read a tumblr post about Hitler at like 7 am, I’m doing an article commentary on normative transgressions according to the Evers typology, so global politics has been on my mind a lot ｓｏｒｒｙ

On 25 August 1934, Dorothy Thompson (pictured above) becomes the first American journalist to be expelled from Germany by the Nazi regime.
