Bong Joon-ho on the specificity and universality of Parasite (2019)
STAR TREK: DS9 || The Wire
It's been one year since my father passed away. The adjustment to his absence has been challenging, and while the hurt has lessened some, I still miss him terribly every day.
I love you, Dad.
Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a decade. Got super depressed then had a kid. Anywho... here's a comic.

why is this the hottest thing i've ever seen
HE SHOWED UP WITH A DUEL DISK TODAY?????
AND ALL FIVE EXODIA PIECES
I need everyone to know that I looked it up, and Noah Lyles is doing this as part of an ongoing bet he has with shotput competitor Chase Jackson. She's wearing Naruto accessories every day, and if Lyles whips out Yugioh cards at every race, then for the shotput finals Jackson will re-enact the scene of Rock Lee dropping his weights.
This is now the only part of the Olympics that I care about.
edit: this is not the olympics. I'm an idiot. it's the USA qualifiers for the olympics, but our boy Lyles has won every race so he's definitely going to be taking Exodia to the Olympics, and i for one cannot wait

My family has always observed Memorial Day as a solemn holiday of gratitude and remembrance. This year, however, it resonates on a far deeper level as it will be the first we observe without my father.
Dad passed away one week ago today. It has been a very difficult time for us all adjusting to his absence and I imagine we will never quite be the same.
He didn't want an obituary, but I expect that he wouldn't mind my sharing a few things with you all.
My dad was a Marine, and he served his country with distinction in both the Mediterranean and Vietnam. After his honorable discharge from the Corps, he enlisted in the Army and was deployed to Korea, where he met my mother.
Upon returning home to Vermont with my mom, he would go on to continue to serve his country in both the Naval Reserve and the Vermont Army National Guard.
He would joke occasionally in the years since that the he never got around to serving in the Air Force.
As some of you may recall, it was my father who started me off on games at an early age. My love for games in all shapes and sizes definitely finds its origins in the many hours we spent together playing.
My dad also inspired my lifelong love for comic books, as well as art, music, and literature. From the classics to the more modern and esoteric, I owe so many of my interests to his influence and guidance.
I really could go on and on, but - again - my dad preferred we did not post an obituary.
We miss you, Dad, and we love you.
My thanks to the men and women of our armed forces, and their families, for their service and sacrifice.
Best wishes for a safe and happy Memorial Day.
That cat is absolutely an orphan-generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually. Legally, that cat's name should be Reacher Gilt.
Apparently this comment got screenshotted, escaped containment, and made its way back to the owner of the cat who found me.
Hew name is Lucy, she is well-loved, and she just looks like that all the time:
feminism WIN: the orphan-generating coal baron cat is a GIRL
Gonna want the sound on for this one boys
While I do believe that Wednesday would have feel uncomfortable for the amount of pink in Legally Blonde; you can't convince me that she hates Elle Woods.
Elle proved to her boyfriend, her parents, a creepy professor and a court full of other lawyers that she is more than eye candy, that she is actually an smart and successful woman. Wednesday wouldn't approve of her wardrobe, but she would totally support her on her mission to defeat sexism and stereotypes in Harvard.
Heartfelt thanks to all of the men and women who have served and protected our country over these many years.
Have a safe and happy Veterans Day.

"the jedi don't have therapists-"
jedi philosophy, and in particular the practices and teachings that jedi were expected to implement in their everyday lives, was therapy. dialectical behavior therapy (dbt), to be exact. anyone who's familiar with dbt knows where i'm already going with this, but like genuinely look up the basic tenets of dbt and it's identical with what the jedi were doing.
dbt, to put it simply, is a specific therapy technique that was designed for ptsd and past trauma. it's pretty different from traditional talk therapy. it combines a few different environments (individual, group, etc.), recognizing that no single format of treatment can stand alone.
the key focuses of dbt include:
emotional regulation- understanding, being more aware of, and having more control over your emotions
mindfulness- regulating attention and avoiding anxious fixation on the past or future
interpersonal effectiveness- navigating interpersonal situations
distress tolerance- tolerating distress and crises without spiraling and catastrophizing
i'm sure it's already clear from that list alone how much the jedi teachings correspond with the goals of dbt. the jedi value, teach, and practice the following:
identifying and understanding emotions
mindfulness and living in the present
compassion, diplomacy, and conflict resolution (on interpersonal scales, not just planetary or galactic)
accepting and tolerating certain levels of distress or discomfort (particularly mental, such as discomfort at the thought of losing a loved one to death)
idk man seems almost as if jedi mental health practices and dbt are two sides of a completely identical coin. (fun fact: both star wars and dbt are products of the 70s.)
and guess what? dbt was specifically designed as a treatment for borderline personality disorder. remember that one? or, if you don't, maybe you remember a specific character, the one who was literally used as an example by my professor in my undergrad psych class when she was teaching us about bpd?
tldr: simply existing within the jedi community, practicing jedi teachings, surrounded by a support network of other jedi of all life stages, was the therapy for anakin. even when viewed through a modern lens. it was even, more specifically, the precise type of therapy that has developed in modern times to treat the exact types of mental issues he was struggling with.
