there’s a cultural obsession with labelling all female authors as unintelligent or otherwise only capable of accidentally stumbling into brief moments of genius in their works that we need to start pushing back against
“I was always bothered when people say, ‘I cry to your music, it sounds like a diary, it sounds so personal,’” Mitski says. “Yes, it is personal. But that’s so gendered. There’s no feeling of, ‘Oh, maybe she’s a songwriter and she wrote this as a piece of art.’”

feel like it's related to the phenomenon mitski's discussing here - if women's art is only seen as unfiltered diaristic emotion then of course it can only ever be accidental genius, never created with intention and thought
sure no one asked to read the script because it wouldn't be very nolan suck-up of them, but if anne "i think penelope loves odysseus" hathway tom "i didn't know my character was so important" "i didn't read the odyssey i only knew there were cyclops" holland lupita "i haven't read the odyssey" "i would ask homer why women have so little screen time" nyong'o matt "it depends it may be a love story" damon read the script what would have changed? they are proudly ignorant of what they set to adapt and lacking any real curiosity to learn about it. the only one who read the script beforehand robert "he's like jacob from twilight and she is indecisive between two men she loves" pattinson is proof enough it would have been pointless anyway.
*My name is Qusai, I was born in Gaza and I am 16 years old. The war came and I was in the third preparation and I could not complete my studies. I had a house and a place to live in, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed and our area is subjected to constant warnings and displacement of the population. I do not have any source of income. My father is unemployed after we had a bird shop where we rely on a source of income, but it is destroyed because of the war and we can hardly buy expensive food and because of famine and lack of money, we cannot manage ourselves with our simplest daily needs, so I hope you stand by my family and help make our lives better and make sure that no matter how much it is, no matter what it makes us happy and helps us make our lives better*

I also suffer from low blood pressure, and it affects me severely. I often experience sudden dizziness, and my health is not good. I need a lot of support to cover my basic and essential needs, including food, clean water, medication, and other daily necessities. Every donation, no matter how small, helps me survive and care for myself and my family. I hope you stand by my family and no matter how much it is, no matter what it makes us happy and helps us make our lives better.
Please donate as much as you can so that help my family even a small amount and tell people about my suffering
I've reached the peak of my career I think (my ruslit professor unofficially renamed me margarita after I brought yellow flowers to his lecture about bulgakov)
