Everyday life in Tokyo

Apparently Trump has now announced he is ignoring CDC guidelines for school’s reopening and will cut funding from schools that do not reopen normally saying that delaying reopening is a democrat scheme. Remember it’s a crime to not send your child to school if it’s open so children will be forced to go in unless their parents are wealthy enough to stay home to homeschool them.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, again and again: this isn’t about americans being too stubborn to wear masks.This isn’t about ‘American’s are just stupid and selfish’.  Our government is killing us. Don’t call it a suicide.

finding out that almost all other animals don’t have periods like we do and instead simply reabsorb the egg back into their uterine lining to reuse the nutrients is like finding out the rest of the class has been taking WILDLY easier tests than you for the whole semester

like, hey, cat why don’t you have to use your Cat Dollars to invest in tampons? And cat is just like: fuck that noise, my body is OPTIMAL for not being made of inconvenient nonsense, sucks to be you

wack.

humans: hey, bleeding every month is actually really cumbersome and I lose both valuable nutrients AND fluids I need for survival? What the fuck is up?

evolution: yes, alright, but have you considered this about it? *cartoon blow horn noise* 

[what-even-is-thiss]

Human bodies suck for many reasons including but not limited to:

Periods

Bad backs

Permanent breasts that do not leave once baby is weaned

Dangerously large, unprotected, and non retractable male reproductive systems

Huge brain takes up way too much energy gotta eat more sleep less

Baby brain bigger than hips guess birth is life threatening now

Takes like 25 years for big brain to even finish maturing

•Teeth are critical to living, yet not designed to last more than a few years without constant intervention and upkeep, and don’t grow back if this is not accomplished. Also, losing your teeth means the bones in your ear will shift, and your hearing will worsen.

•Breathing, eating, communication all from the same pathway, major choking hazard. Give me a dolphin style breathing tube.

•Most pleasurable nerve endings on the body locating on the filthiest parts of you, guarenteed spread of bacteria.

•knees and shoulders have almost zero capability to heal correctly, once they break, they’re basically broken forever without massive outside influence.

I want to highlight that little bit about Spielberg. I read Drew Barrymore’s auto biography - Little Girl Lost - and she talks about Spielberg a lot. He treated the kids on ET with sensitivity and respect, even joining them in a water fight once. She said that she was shocked when she made Firestarter and the director pulled stuff like not telling her and another child actor about a fake explosion so their screams would be real. Spielberg was careful about not overworking them and stopping if they seemed tired (especially Barrymore since she was only five at the time), but on the set of Firestarter she was perpetually exhausted . She also noticed while Spielberg looked her in the eye and really talked to her, the director of Firestarter completely ignored her and never made eye contact. She mentioned to another actress “I loved making ET, but I hate this.” The other actress told Barrymore “Doing a Spielberg movie ruins you for all other directors.” Spielberg became like surrogate father to Barrymore, and she spent a lot of time at his house with his family growing up. She said it was the only place she felt like she could be a kid. The set of ET was the only Hollywood experience where she was treated like a child and not a commodity.

What I’m saying is, the crap pulled by the directors above is clearly unnecessary to make a fantastic movie.

one thing I’ve been wondering

we talk a lot about genius and “real artist” being abrasive and difficult and just generally unpleasant to be around

and we attribute their accomplishments to their asshole tendencies. they are perfectionist, they are hard on people to bring out the best in them, etc

but maybe it’s the other way around?

maybe they are the way they are because we as a society let them get away with too much bullshit due to their “genius”

we only tolerate terrible behaviours from the so called “geniuses”. anyone who acts like that but is not as good at their job gets fired

so then maybe we don’t have to let them get away with their bullshit and they’ll still do good work, only they’ll be nicer to the people around them
