[sharkodactyl]

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

Where are the places you mentally take yourselves back to when you're stressed? My top two are this hotel pool in Bath where I was floating on my back in the warm water with the sun shining on my face, and the pet-friendly movie theater in Hudson where Seiji cuddled next to me while we watched Bad Boys part 700.

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

I want every ad on the subway to be this one. And then I want this also posted elsewhere. And then I want people who don’t use earbuds or headphones while listening to music or watching their videos in public to have their phones explode in their hands and faces. Or they get shunned and banned from public spaces.

[the-day-i-become-my-dreams]

This, but what if someone genuinely gets so anxious in public and watching videos/music are coping mechanisms to compartmentalize or calm down?

audio jacks have become pretty much obsolete. Headphones that aren’t sensory hell are often expensive. If someone playing stuff out loud in a public area pisses you off while not being anything explicit/illegal. It’s a you problem, my friend. If you think good headphones should be easy to afford, buy yourself a pair of noise-cancelling ones

sorry bout the random rant post. :|

[mariacallous]

Are you being serious? I just want to make sure before I decide how I want to respond more fully. If you are being serious…

[mariacallous]

Actually fuck it, I’m responding.

It’s antisocial and incredibly rude and offensive to do that. The point of public spaces is that we all have to occupy it and share it, and we all have to try to get by. No one is entitled to dominating the public spaces.

I have earbuds and listen to my music or podcast or video in a way that does not disrupt or intrude on others who are not me and do not want to watch or listen to what I do. Even with that, and with the volume up, other people’s music and videos blasting out loud can counter that. And it often does.

What if people get seriously overstimulated and need to not be overwhelmed by thoughtless assholes around them, to provide a counterexample to yours.

The number of people doing it are not the specific ridiculous example you brought up.

When I say that this is antisocial, I am not using that lightly or incorrectly. Actions like that damage the already frayed social contract and are incredibly selfish. It shows that they do not care about or think about literally anyone else around them, that only what they want to do is what matters.

Your fauxpology about the random rant is not accepted, either.

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???

Weirdly good year for the late Gil Scott Heron. The guy piloting the actual spaceship to the actual moon recites Whitey’s On the Moon to himself daily, possibly right now, as we speak, en route to the moon. And that’s the only thing that could be bigger for a dead poet than the Best Picture of the Year being a movie in which people recite The Revolution Will Not Be Televised at each other while crying.

[eurekavalley]

NASA's Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover listens to 'Whitey on the Moon' every Monday. This is why.

"It ain't about racism. It's about the human condition."

[larkandkatydid]

Thank you for the link and the correction that Victor Glover recites Whitey On the Moon weekly, on Mondays. So, today could be the day, that Whitey On The Moon is On the Moon or En Route to the Moon.

Spoiler-free question about The Drama

Would you call it a twist or a premise? My husband thinks it's the former, I think it's the latter, as does Angelica Jade Bastien, which means I'm right. But what do you say?
