In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.

Listen, sister, when are you going to get wise to yourself?

South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen | CNN

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

[rabbitkinglune777]

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

[dj-hyperbaedel]

Chasing a kid down and shooting him in the back is self defense if the jury is racist enough

[luna-azzurra]

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

[tennesseewillams]

this post was about cary grant doing his little flips in holiday 1938 by the way.

[hecatesbroom]

So I guess I’m very easily persuaded and I posted my little experiment lol. It started out as a way of stepping out of my comfort zone (writing smut? me???) and then went firmly back into my comfort zone (80% character study, 20% of whatever else is going on). Was it thoroughly embarrassing to write? Most certainly. It was fun to edit though so I think I got over myself by the end of it.

A Woman's Touch — The Philadelphia Story (1940)

Curls outlined in silver frame Tracy's face as she looks at him, eyes sparkling in the near darkness. Her tone is lower, more confidential when she says: "You're marvelous, Dext, but I need a woman's touch sometimes."

[hecatesbroom]

So uh. I wrote something that’s somewhere between smut and a character study and I’m this 🤏 close to just saying fuck it and posting it. But I think I might actually melt of embarrassment when I do. How do people do it?? Colour me impressed

I thought I remembered how amazing this film is but I thought wrong. Fully blown away again. It’s soooo good I went on a ten minute rant to my poor mother about just how great it is
