i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling
i firmly believe that one of the reasons tumblr latched onto project hail mary so hard is because we're all so obsessed with the dead wife trope lately and grace is his own dead wife. half of the book/film is grace experiencing a dead wife montage about himself and that's beautiful to me

touch starved ryland grace, sure, BUT WHAT ABOUT TOUCH STARVED EVA STRATT!!!!!!! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SHE HAD GOTTEN A HUG!!!!! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SHE EVEN ALLOWED HERSELF TO BE CARED FOR LIKE THAT!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!
I hope there’s an afterlife so that whoever made this pot 2,000 years ago can brag that their cookware is so good it’s still usable literally millennia later. Something about this object being lost for centuries and then rediscovered, and being put (successfully) to its original purpose again is so pleasing to me.
Some Uzbek digging a canal: “Oh fuck yes a free pot. This rules.”
I think it’s kind of beautiful that this pot just got used as an ordinary pot. Like imagine you’re a smith and you make a pot so good that people are using it 2000 years later. You’d be proud, right?
I had this freshman tell me she “couldn’t” audition because she was too scared of the stage, and might have a panic attack. I asked how she felt about walking around onstage in costume and not saying any lines. That was fine. I was like okay awesome let’s lay some groundwork now and maybe senior year you can have like three lines!
I remember this kid who came into an audition and froze up, just couldn’t speak. Competent reader and speaker but when people were watching she couldn’t do a thing.
We cast her anyway, in a chorus role. Offered her lots of support and encouragement and kindness and grace.
At the next audition she whispered. Anyone who had never seen her before would have thought she was the most nervous kid there. But the directing team was abuzz afterward. Did you see? She did it! Once or twice I could actually almost hear her! Amazing.
Got cast again, in a chorus role. She’d been making friends with the other kids, and they offered her encouragement too.
And the next audition we said wow I can hear her! She’s speaking! Let’s give her a handful of lines! She can do it!
Anyway as a mentor in the performing arts these things are huge wins for me. Some kids are competent and confident performers at 7 or 8 almost by nature. Others, even much older kids and adults, have to make progress by inches. But progress is exciting! The only place to go is up!
If a student is encouraged properly, theatre is one of the best sources of self-esteem, self-reflection, and both spontaneous and rehearsed eloquence/comprehensibility that there is. It truly could be considered a cornerstone for communication disciplines of all kinds if it just attracted the right people to teach it. (Unfortunately a lot of people are attracted to directing for a sense of power over others, and not an interest in mentoring and coaching.)
Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore
feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore
For those who genuinely don't know, "free the nipple" is about going topless. As in no clothes over the tits at all.

“we need to teach media literacy in schools” guys was i really the only person paying attention in english class bffr
No, you weren’t “drawing a picture of an eye”, you said “this is stupid; sometimes the curtains really are just blue”, “when are we ever going to use this in real life”, “ugh, you can’t make money out of analysing a poem so what’s the point” and “screw humanities; STEM is much more important”.
Let’s not act like devaluing humanities hasn’t been a big issue these past few decades, because “you can’t make money of it”, or “it’s stupid and not useful”. People constantly told kids to forget humanities and pushed them towards STEM only, but didn’t have time for fucking ethics class, because you gotta get these kids ready for the labour market and building the technological revolution and ethics would just hold them up.
That being said - it’s still YOUR responsibility to re-learn these basic media literacy skills now, because your lack of them is really screwing us over as a society right now.
abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
i hope it's okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head
Honestly, it's like picking up a book and saying "I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this" like there's no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.
Consider- the connection between this specific mindset and the rise of AI generated media.
Blake Brockington’s death was overshadowed three years ago by Transgender Day of Visibility and a string of white transgender suicides (namely that of Leelah Alcorn). Let’s not forget Blake and how amazing he was at just 18 years old. He was closely involved in the trans community and was the first openly trans homecoming king in North Carolina. This year, let’s celebrate the many Black trans folks who are forgotten after TDOR while recognizing those who are still alive and fighting for all of us (like Ashlee Marie Preston, Laverne Cox, and Janet Mock)!
Today is the 4th anniversary of Brockington’s death. Pay your respects to Black trans people while they’re still here and remember those we’ve lost.
I scheduled this post about a year ago, and today is the 5th anniversary of his death. I had never heard of him before this post landed on my dash. Future me, if you’re seeing this, you’re vaguely tired and there’s birds outside and your throat feels weird and your eyes are crusty and you might be crying a little and you think that’s okay.
Remember him for me, okay?
i forgot to post this last year so im scheduling it to post march 15th 2024 (it's march 17th 2023 rn)
