X-Files Season 6 behind the scenes
they make the best aliens because little girls are fucking bizarre, nobody else can match that energy
In an interview he said that the boys always ended up breaking their costumes bc they would fight each other, but the girls Got. Into. Character. and were amazing creepy little aliens.Â
after seeing Birds of Prey, I have decided that women can commit egregious acts of violence against men.
as a treat.
we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop insteadÂ
case in point
this is a Hell of a downgradeÂ
worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

snatched yo “i’m not like other girls” ass real quick!!!
This movie had no business being as good as it was. Go watch it.Â
Noted
The thing about this too is that both girls had seriously good points.
Bethany called out Martha for why she is judgemental (more out of fear of not actually being liked so she pushes away), but she also agrees with Martha’s point that Bethany and her friends are somewhat treated like objects by their peers.Â
Bethany likes being on camera and taking pictures of herself because she is super confident in herself, she enjoys being social, and she enjoys connecting with her friends (as many of us do), but she also understands Martha’s point about how the reasons why she does these things is not the same as the motives of the responses her peers have.Â
Additionally, this film shows how the Popular Girl character isn’t actually a bitch that has to be taught some sort of lessons before she has an epiphany and changes how she acts. No, Bethany is actually really sweet. Throughout the movie she tries to support and encourage Martha’s confidence, teach Martha how to flirt, etc so that Martha herself grows more comfortable in herself and confident. Additionally, when Bethany makes her point, she isn’t in her face about it or makes it into an argument, she is calm and has a reasonable discussion to get at the root of what Martha is facing and understand it so that she can help, which is why Martha is able to confront the idea herself. Bethany shows a complete flip of the popular girl character.Â
Seriously this movie is actually so good, especially the dynamics between these two characters and their character growth based on each other. Please watch this.Â
Also I forgot Jack Black wasn’t a woman while watching this so there’s that
All completely true! Bethany is a great character and peak Jack Black because he isn’t completely OTT.Â
Dante’s Inferno is the best piece of classical poetry because it’s the most petty thing you will ever read. Half of Hell is mythological or historical figures and the other half is Dante’s enemies. So the whole thing is like “I am Medea, who slew her own child to spite her husband.” “And I am Francisco di Vincezzino Fabriccia, who gets very talented and handsome poets kicked out of Florence, but I’m very sorry for it now because I’m burning in Hell and I suck.”
I feel I should add that because it was the Middle Ages and literacy was next to non-existent, poets made their money by reciting their poems in public. And The Divine Comedy is written in the first person. So the way this was originally presented was Dante himself standing on a stage and saying “so then me and my best friend Virgil went to the circle of whiny bitches and we saw Giovanni Petucci getting eaten by a giant dog, because he’s a bitch, and he was all “ah help me Dante I’m so sorry I thought the Holy Roman Emperor was better than the Pope, you were right about everything”, and then Virgil –again whom I’m extremely close with– said it was too late for him.”
Native artwork is honestly fucking gorgeous and it infuriates me that when you think of or try to look up “Native American art”, you get fetishistic, colonizer bullshit.
I’m so fucking sick of it. We’re always defined by how other people see us.
That and native art is so underrated too. It’s hard to get attention to my artwork, it’s hard to get attention to any native artist, art competition, gallery.. anything. We all spend hours, days, even weeks honing our skills and creating art for ourselves and others. People only want the creations we slave over when it’s cheap or free. They don’t recognize each detail and it’s meaning or the intricacies we took time to sketch out or bead in or sew or anything.
I go to festivals in my area where lots of indigenous people (namely First Nations or Salish) are. A lot of their tents have the stereotypical fetishing native art incorporated into a product somehow and it makes me a little forlorn, but there isn’t much I can do but be sad. Now that’s a part of a bigger issue I can’t get into now, but you see the problem.
Art from all nations needs to be recognized.
I bought art from a creator named Harmony Hoss. She was so friendly and she sells her art at Pike’s Place in Seattle as a Tlingit woman. Tell me her formline isn’t absolutely gorgeous. But she goes so unrecognized because people are so unimpressed with her hard work.
Anyways, support native artists.
For anyone who wants to support Harmony Hoss, she has a website!
Unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult finding real Native artists online just because of how many people blatantly lie or use misdirection to make people think that they’re Native. If anyone has recommendations for Native artists, feel free to share them!

Here’s some more that are some of my faves!
John Isaiah Pepion (Instagram link)- Blackfeet contemporary ledger artist who also has earrings, phone cases, and blankets on his site which is linked on his IG bio. My fave t-shirt is from one of his pieces back when he was first testing out merch and he ran some off. I’m still crossing my fingers and trying not to hit him up like “this would be dope on a shit” every time he posts a new piece
The Chief’s Daughter (Instagram link) - Karli Crow Shoe a Pikanii/Blackfoot/Nez Perce designer who focuses mainly on beadwork; she does a ton of custom works and is influenced heavily by Niitsitapi culture for sellable work
Bunky Echo-Hawk (Instagram link) - Pawnee/Yakima visual artist and visual performer. You’ve probably seen his work floating around Cyber NDN Country even if you’ve never heard of him; he’s the one who painted Yoda as a Pawnee that one time years and ages ago. He sells prints and stickers on his website where there’s a link in his IG bio; he’s pretty popular but Imma always feel like everybody needs to know Bunky’s work
Tumblr’s own resident Bear But Not Really That Kind, @baapi-makwa who’s Insta link is here. An Ojibwe artist working almost exclusively with ink and pens, there’s a link to his Patreon in his bio as well
Kiamichi who is on and off tumblr as @mahtheyzhawey and can be found on Instagram here and is an amazing beadwork artist from the Ponka and Chahta Nations. She made my sweet ass piece with the big ol coyote medallion got me lookin like my cousin on Tribal Council and shit
The Cauldron & The Crown (Instagram link with a link to the shop in the bio) - BlackNDN Tsalagi jewelry maker whomst is on here as well but tbh I can only remember their personal blog and not their arty blog which is my fault but to keep it a hunnid, @crouchingtiger-hiddennegro is funny as hell and I have no room in my heart for anything else
Needle Knot And Thread (Instagram link) - May’s a textile artist from the Tsalagi Nation and makes such dope lil embroidery samples, earrings, patches, and quilt squares n stuff! There’s a link to an etsy shop in the bio
Ali Watson (Instagram link) - an Oglala Lakota jewelry maker who’s also a cool person! My fave pair of earrings was made by Ali! The turquoise ones with the dentalium drops; there’s a link to a main website in the bio
Panda Moon (Instagram link) - Y’all remember that dope beaded moon pin I got not too long ago with the little bat dangle? The homie Jennifer made it! She’s Southern Cheyenne and beads jewelry and pins. She could REALLY use the capital right now as she’s in a financially dire situation having recently escaped a horrible situation. If you don’t want to buy anything from her which, why wouldn’t you but that’s none of my business; there’s a link to her GoFundMe on her bio too!
Project 562 (Instagram link) - Matika Wilbur from Swinomish and Tulalip Nations. Now, she’s a photographer so this isn’t strictly the kind of art that we’re discussing BUT I feel it’s super important to include her because Project 562 is about photographing Indigenous People BY an Indigenous Person FROM an Indigenous perspective. It’s about reclaiming imagery, narrative, direction, and power that was written for us by the Olde Timey white ethnographers like Edward S Curtis
I have DEFINITELY forgotten people on this list and if any of y’all who know I fuck witcha the long way come across this and don’t see yourself on here, know that I am sorry, that was unintentional I can only blame it on the fact that I’m tired as hell and I got the Brain Rot at the best of times

Trigger Warning For:
Themes of Sexual Assault
Im fucking seeing thos movie 11 times. Id idc idc
If I had the funds I would buy out an entire theatre for this and invite every woman I know so there would be no men in there and we could all cheer everytime some asshole gets taken out.Â
WHAT A FUCKING CAST?!
So many famous faces in a movie that's saying something so important!!
Toxic in the background?
Emerald Fennell writing and directing??
TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!
Also the fact that it's titled Promising Young Woman??? Like how in every assault case you hear "and/but he's such a promising young man!" like he deserves to be excused for this absolute violation of humanity??? choice.
when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”
when audre lorde said “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”
when Jenny Slate tweeted, “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain&more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love”
This is so fuckin funny
