Dear god, I don’t know if I’ve ever used the word “insufferable,” when describing a documentary, but that’s exactly what these women are. I should’ve known when the one started crying, before they even started, because her backpack was so heavy. 

I’m not sure what the point of this is. Showing how petite white women get fed chicken and water, when caught by the copys/security/border patrol? Oh, the trailer says to “learn about the people, places, and water.” 

There’s one crusty dude who does talk about the place…after 30 minutes in I skipped to 1:09 - it’s definitely beautiful scenery. Skipped to 1:16…by walking into a lake she sees how it’s all connected. 

Into the Whine (get it? like, Into the Wild, but with this person). On their site they tag #girlswhohike. I wish they’d put that girl in this documentary. I wish they’d made this more watchable, because when it is talking about the message (how we abuse the water resources available) it is pertinent, mildly interesting, but definitely has a message that needs to be shared.

I feel like the thumbnail for the video tells you everything you need to know, about whether you’ll like this or not.

If you REALLY want to get angry about how humans are horrible vis a vis water, watch Tapped.

Here’s the thing about Oasis, as much as my Blur vs Oasis answer is:Pulp. Oasis is some good fucking rock and roll. The US was starved for rock and roll. The US has zero taste in music. Oasis is better than the Beatles. Cigarettes and Alchol was my first Oasis song, I hadn’t even come close to either, when this song came out. Some _mumbled noises about math and age+ years later, this album is still one of the best rock and roll albums of all time.

Stuff I changed my mind on and didn’t watch

The Romanoffs - Mad Men for Russian history buffs?

Crisis in Six Scenes - Woody Allen and Miley Cyrus the end

X - The Unheard Music - pretty sure I’ve seen it...

What They Had - I like Michael Shannon, but it ain’t free no more

You Can Now Play the First LGBTQ Computer Game, For the First Time

‘Caper in the Castro’ was thought to be long lost.

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the (gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman, in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)

“If you look back only at your mistakes, you’d think you were an idiot. If you look back only at your wiser choices, you’d think you were infallible. But if you look back on everything, you realize you’re a human being who has been through a lot, grown a lot, is always still learning, and improving as time goes by.”

“I’m not totally mad at you. I’m just sad. You’re all locked up in that little world of yours, and when I try knocking on the door, you just sort of look up for a second and go right back inside.”

Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West wr. c. February 1926

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

“I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace.”
