I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

Damn, Ms. Wilde. You deserve a mountain of bouquets.

Beginning with an Oscar Wilde felt delightfully cheeky, especially since the director is another Wilde.

Great script but it really is elevated by the actors who glide between comedy and serious drama with smooth elegance. The pacing of the dialogue is like a symphony coming together.

Sadé was a great touch.

Yet again, things really don't go well for a Wilde housewife who has a man go down on her.

Seth Rogen is so good at portraying resentment.

Counting the days till The Invite drops on streaming so that I can have a GIF of Edward Norton (Hawk) popping up from behind a sofa.

How do you make Esther Perel even cooler than she already is? Have Penelope Cruz play her.

Were Pina and Hawk figments of Angela and Joe's imagination? Why did they disappear, despite Pina implying she would only leave once she got her casserole back?

Basically, great fun and definitely one of the best watches of the year so far.

''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

This was the mainstream feminist belief like. A decade ago. Thats how hard we’ve regressed within mainstream feminism and it’s mainly because of right wingers/radfems/TERFs deciding trans women need to die.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

the ideal chai latte is one of the most amazing things on this earth. it’s a shame that most cafes think they have to serve either a cup of grit or milk that they whispered the names of spices to

If You’re Feeling Rejected and Need to Self-Soothe Instead of Reacting:

"They’re not saying I’m unlovable. They’re saying they can’t give me what I need right now."

"This doesn’t mean I have to leave. It means I need to find a different way to get what I need."

"I can survive this feeling. It’s real, but it’s not permanent."

"I’ve been here before. It felt like the end of the world, but it wasn’t."

"This really hurts, but I don’t want to lash out. I’m going to step away for a bit."

"I’m scared of making this worse, so I’m going to calm down before responding."

"My first instinct is to assume the worst, but I don’t want to do that. I’m going to sit with this before deciding how I feel."

"I feel like I’m being rejected right now, and my first instinct is to panic, but I’m trying to sit with the feeling instead."

"This really hurts, and my brain is telling me it means something worse than it does. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s just a feeling."

"I feel like shutting down or running away, but I know that won’t actually help."

"My emotions are really loud right now, but I know reacting in the moment might make things worse. I just need to take a second to breathe."

"I want to assume the worst, but I know my emotions are making this feel bigger than it is. I’m working on calming down before responding."

"Just because they’re not giving me what I need right now doesn’t mean they don’t care about me."

"This isn’t proof that I’m unwanted. It’s just a situation that feels bad, and feelings aren’t facts."

"I am not actually being abandoned. My brain is making this feel like a bigger threat than it is."

"They might be unavailable right now, but that doesn’t mean I’m losing them forever."

"I can survive this feeling. I’ve been through this before, and it passed."

“That’s the best thing about language: every time you use a word you are summoning so many other things—all the times that word has ever been used. I know this sounds a little psychedelic, but maybe I have an ancestor one hundred years ago who used this word that I choose to write now. What does it mean that everything that we are writing is recycled? Words are full of ghosts. Poetry is full of ghosts.”

i think i saw a movie like this once

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace
