My Own Private Idaho (1991) // I Had a Dream About You by Richard Siken
do you have a self care routine?
âKeep going bitch!!â said to myself in different accents
Fluff off the clock for @lucylisyart as part of @countdowntotwinpeaksâ wonderfulxstrange exchange! Plenty of good hikes around town, I imagine, and Harry knows them all!
literally this just is gay cinema

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). Dir. Anthony and Joe Russo.
What I absolutely love about this chase scene is the build up of it. Like, hereâs Cap - the absolute MAD MAN - stopping at nothing to get to where he figures he needs to go from a glance of the shooter. Right angles? Son, donât. Every door in the building? NOT TODAY! Your meeting notes from last Friday? FUCK OFF WITH YOUR FILING SYSTEM, BRENDA. It builds and it builds and Steveâs a goddamn superhuman anger machine and just when you thought
BAM. Stopped in his tracks. The camera keeps panning, carrying that momentum forward, straight into the eyes of the motherfucker who not only was able, but dared to stop Steve Rogers. And did so with apparent ease.Â
Iâve said it before (and other people have said it better) this film does an excellent job of establishing our heroes as being so capable itâs awe-inspiring for just this moment.
Because this? This is the oh shit moment. This is the moment we learn thereâs scarier things than Steve afoot in the night. That the badass fucker that blew Furyâs car out from under him is worth paying attention to.
But seriously, when we got our property, it was all justâŠgrass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it.Â
But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables.Â
When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades.Â
Now, six years later, I canât dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them.Â
The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.
Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.
Like, last year I watched no fewer than twenty-nine monarch caterpillars grow up on my milkweed and fly away as butterflies. I watched swallowtails and moths grow. There are hummingbirds fighting over flowers now.
I did that. Me. You can do the same.
Is this post about making a garden or beating depression
As someone with clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression;
Yes.
I genuinely thought it was about fighting climate change and the extinction of multiple species.
That too.
@w0-rm
Itâs like one of those poems no-one knows the true meaning of but we can all agree that it means somthing
No, this is specifically about the fact that accomplishing something is proven to help with anxiety and depression, and that getting your hands in the dirt and getting outside will as well.
And a sense of helping is going to help fight the brain gremlins as well. A sense that youâve made a difference, in your little corner of the world. And it puts into perspective that a sense of alienation and hopelessness in a changing world feeds into anxiety and depression, and realizing that you can help and doing so helps both youâŠbecause you are a thinking, feeling part of nature, not separate from itâŠand the world we live in.
The natural world and us are inextricably linked, because we humans are part of it, and separating us from it is going to be harmful. Taking care of your little part of the world is, at the same time, taking care of yourself, as well as helping the environment as a whole.
I get scared when people from Iowa talk about corn like I have crocs and gators taking over my town but damn you make it sound like corn is going to murder my family for fun
this is true but i cant articulate how your perception of corn in particular changes when you start spending real time in a corn field. like ive talked about this before on here, but i had a job a few years back working in experimental corn fields as manual labor, and despite having been born and raised here I realized that, in iowa at least, much of the corn you encounter is over your head when fully grown, and itâŠ.kind of forms a weird liminal space very different from what it looks like on the surface.
like, we were regularly going out in 80 and 90 degree heat in full body protective gear, but when youre in there its actually cooler by a couple degrees because of the rainforest effect it has. almost nothing grows on the ground in a corn field because the corn blocks out all the light. you need to wear the protective gear that i mentioned because the leaves will cut you if you do not wear long pants, a long shirt, sunglasses/some kind of eye protection, and in our cases one of those hats with a protective net that goes over your face. we wore those backpacks with the watering tubes because we were traversing the fields on foot and once we went in we would not be coming out for 4-5 hours, moving through them all the time (those fieldsâŠâŠare way bigger than they seem from the outside).Â
and when it gets really windy, and the whole field is bending at once around you? holy shit. ive never experienced anything like it tbh. like the day im thinking of that summer, they were hurrying our group along with our measurements because a storm was coming, and the whole field was listing to the side in the wind, but likeâŠ.itâs still above your head. and in terms of proximity, you cannot walk anywhere in a cornfield without touching corn, which sounds obvious, but it practice it creates this weird illusion of a static maze. itâs like youâre in a really dense forest that you can only comfortably walk through by following narrow trails laid out in a grid. when itâs all bending like that at onceâŠ.itâs wild, like i was tripping over my feet because it was really fucking with likeâŠ.. my brain knowing where to walk lmao. i couldnât really see the ground in front of me. i couldnât see the rows. like, maize in itâs essence is a giant grass, so itâs like when you see those meadows and thereâs wind blowing them and it looks like an ocean? like that but giant and ur inside.
also i can 10000% confirm you can literally get lost in a corn field. it is that vast and uniform. and i donât mean like, haha corn maze, i mean like you can get actually lost, and when you try to yell for help the corn eats up the sound. i have no idea what people did before radios.Â
So basically all the horror movies set around the corn fields were onto something?
yes, but in my opinion they focus way too much on the not-scary parts of corn. like yeah, one time i heard something in the corn behind me while alone because we were sent out to tag everything in rows directly through the field and i heard someone behind me and started running in sheer terror but it turned out to be somebody else in our group who got lost, but that was one time. you gotta get creative with your corn horror. another time there was a kid in another group who was prone to seizures, and it was a 100 degree day and he had a seizure in the corn, and it took a few minutes for the researchers to find each other because corn literally eats the sound and nobody can fucking see each other, and our group leader/researcher told us to sit still and wait and just fucking disappeared into the hell grass and we sat there for like 20 minutes wondering if somebody fucking died, you know?
like yeah âooooo smth in the corn!!!â no shit somethings in the corn its like 95% of iowa now but industrial farming creates such a vast expanse of undisturbed landscape its absolutely incomprehensible. film people need to start treating corn less like corn and more like the most disturbing, dense, monolithic, nightmarishly bendy jungle you can think of
From Universal Harvester, by John Darnielle (which is great imo):
If Marvel hadn't been cowards they would have made Peter a true gen z kid and he would have roasted like 80% of the avengers and the gotg within the first 10 minutes for either racism, sexism or cultural appropriation
I tolerate any treatment. Like I solo queue sometimes, and Iâll put up with anything. Iâll play  a game from some garbage publisher - you know, I donât wanna name an actual publisher so letâs just make one up; letâs call it âActivision Blizzardâ So Iâll buy a game from âActivision Blizzardâ and Iâll show up at the story department and Iâll go, âCan we have representative heroes please?â And they go, âNo. The new hero is delayed nine months.â And I go, âOkaaay!â And then I go to the bathroom. And then I come out of the bathroom and I go, âAny updates?â and they go âYeah, we made the new hero a fucking hamster. Because we hate you. Now take this professional talent pipeline that doesnât work, go fetch!â And I go âOkaaay!â and I go over to Contenders and go, âCan T2 players have livable salaries?â and they go âNO!â And I go âOkaaay!â And they go, âYouâre a Symmetra onetrick, arenât you?â And I go âNooo,â and they go âSAY IT!â and I go âIâm a Symmetra onetrick!.â And then I go over to the Blizzard Help Desk, which is an oxymoron, and I go, âCan I please play a video game?â and they go âNo! In fact, weâre gonna fill the game with boosters! And youâre gonna be stuck in queue for thirty years!â And I go âWhy are you doing this to me?!â And they go, âBecause weâre Activision Bliiiizzard, and life is a fucking nightmare!â

this is what plays when youâre dying and your life is flashing before your eyesï»ż
*puts this on my End Of The World playlist*
Ok @peachcrushedvelvet is 100% accurate but here are several other situations I feel this beautiful creation could apply to
1. End of the world type of experience as noted above by @nero-neptune i.e. meteors falling and people running, things exploding and desperately trying to survive
2. Desperately running through your house avoiding attackers (guns, projectiles, of some type)
3. Youâre in a library and you accidentally knock something over which knocks over all of the shaves domino style and youâre running down the hallway with them falling in the background.Â
Everybody please contribute
4. You finally experience love at first sight, but theyâre in the middle of a bank heist and youâre getting caught in the cross fire
5. Youâre getting arrested in roller skates at the laundromat
6. Intergalactic space travel in the form of a gay cruise
you are falling off a very tall biulding
Dissociation soundtrack
lost in an abandoned shopping mall where all the stores are gated and the lights are flickering and this is crackling over some distant speakers when suddenly you catch a glimpse of something drifting down the broken escalator and itâs vaguely humanoid except its arms are too disproportionately long and knees donât typically bend that way
shopping in walmart @ 2am for waffles as a big fight happens behind you
8. Your eyes meet across the room of a cafeteria foodfight (or similarly chaotic scene).
9. Youâre in an abandoned shopping mall and your eyes meet with the humanoid thing coming down the stairs. Itâs love at first sight. The song plays over a montage of your happy years together in the abandoned mall.
10. Desk packed, youâre quitting that hell job and slow-motion flipping off every soul there as you, your coffee mug, and seventeen bobbleheads leave for the last time.
11. Slo-mo waking through your old town, re-visiting your old haunts and seeing the sights for the last time as itâs burned to the ground.
12. You just got fired from your dream job. Youâre in a daze, drifting through the building in a blur. And then, someone comes to help you. Itâs the person that youâve been pinning after for years. And your closest friend. They have your back. Youâre not alone.
13. Youâre falling. Or flying. Either way, itâs taking an awfully long time.
