The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye
Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!
I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.
Fucking applause to The Pitt for showing that the ICE agent's reaction to being reprimanded by someone he couldn't belittle was to turn around and be violent and aggressive on people he did think were beneath him. What a piece of shit. And what a real and honest portrayal.

words to live by
from today's entry:
why are all the actual real human jobs like baker and florist and childcare worker barely paying livable wages but the fake jobs like ai specialist boot licker or marketing campaign dick sucker making six figures

i get so frustrated when i see those “motivational” ig accounts that say things like «we all have the same 24 hours in a day, it’s just about priorities» because honestly? no. that’s not true.
some people have to commute hours just to get to class or work. some have to get part-time job (or even full-time) to support themselves while studying. some have to be a caregiver for a parent, a sibling, or take care of their own child. some spend their evenings cooking, cleaning, running errands, keeping a household together.
so no, we don’t all have the same 24 hours. and pretending we do only makes people feel guilty for not being “productive enough.”
the truth is not everyone is blessed with free time.
and i think the real challenge is not to compare, but to appreciate the time we do have. to use it intentionally, without taking it for granted. because if you have free time — time that you can spend on studying, creating, resting, or simply existing — you are lucky. not everyone has that privilege.
so instead of guilt-tripping people for not living up to some unrealistic “24h” standard, maybe we should just focus on making the time we have meaningful and stop telling people how to live their lives.

Actual cases of Third Man Factor:
Early climber of Everest was alone, reported he felt he was climbing with another presence, which eliminated all his loneliness. He even tried to give it part of his mint cake and was shocked to find no one there. Only after he was not alone did he say it departed.
127 hours guy was visited by a boy, who he said was his future son, who convinced him to live
Man fell in a crevasse in Peruvian Andes and was left for dead, but a voice lead him out
Reinhold Messner’s (famous mountaineer) brother died while they were climbing Nanga Parbat together, but he said there was always a third ‘climber’ a few steps away, which kept him alive.
Polar explorer is on 50 day mission to North Pole, felt someone wrapping his arm around him, comforting him as he struggled to reach his goal multiple times.
Man on high floor of Twin Towers went down stairs to escape but on floor where plane hit, blocked by smoke, almost collapsed from smoke inhalation, but he said something grabbed his hand and lead him out.
Multiple stories of people solo sailing around the world to find they’re not alone. One even described the presence offering to take the helm
Stories on this were popular in early 2000s, particularly with Christian crowd, as it appealed to the idea of guardian angels.
However, a lot of these people who genuinely experienced it don’t attribute it to spiritual causes. Messner, for example, from story above, believes it’s clearly a survival mechanism of the brain.
From the stories I’ve read, it’s generally when someone is isolated and near death, especially when physical exertion is required.
Basically, when you have to decide whether to keep going or just to lay down and die, that’s when there’s the third man factor.
In fact, one study found one third of high altitude mountain climbers experienced it. Studies on it found its most common among mountain climbers, solo sailers and shipwreck survivors, and polar explorers.

People who say “oh but with uniforms you don’t have to worry about kids bullying each other over clothes” are psyops to me there’s no way people genuinely believe that uniforms do anything to curb bullying
I'm from a country that doesn't have uniforms and we had to do in-class student debates about this topic. I vividly remember students actually arguing that while I was being actively bullied by some of those same students for being poor (so buying extra uniforms would suck actually), weird (which a uniform can't change), ugly (which a uniform can't change) etc etc.
Hearing these arguments from my bullies and even from some teachers felt like pure victim blaming because it implied that I simply chose the wrong outfit and refused to fit in.
