The Mona Lisa of Dumpster Fires

Cis, bi, white, middle-aged woman. I blog things that I think are interesting. Lots of Benedict Cumberbatch, which I try to tag, so it can be avoided; Doctor Who, Sherlolly...

"this too shall pass" sure but have you considered the fact that i don't like the way it's passing

[curioscurio]

If "this too" could stop passing like a kidney stone that would be great thanks

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Nothing I've heard about Nolan's "Odyssey" from reviews makes me interested in watching it, but the only casting I'm (in my imagination) disappointed in is Damon. No other actors seem wrong to me.

i forgot the word for someone who demolishes buildings for a living and my brain wouldn't stop suggesting "homewrecker" to me which is. NOT what i meant

Holy moly they're GOOD. The music is fucking FIRE, and the outfits??? They're all so PRETTY???

[snoodly-boop]

Does anybody know who these are??? Do they have albums!! 🤩🤩🤩

[raspberryslut]

I was so curious that I had to go find this band. They're called Fortress Dwellers and they have a website with all of their socials!

They released an album too! I don't think this song is on it but the rest of their stuff is SO GOOD !!

My favorite part of Leverage is that over the course of the seasons, you see the team getting better at each other’s things. Like, ofc, each one is the best at what they specifically do, but it’s fun seeing them all become better actors and pickpockets and fighters. In season 4, Elliot outright says he gave Sophie tips for punching, and Sophie herself has walked team members through grifting numerous times, but it’s nice to get as much “show” as we get “tell”

lol, this you-tube tarot reader's Emperor looks like Mamdani, complete with a fake Chrysler Building through the window behind him.

I hadn't known they were *that* prophetic...

i really im absolutely astounded at the phenomenal job that MIB did not to be racist against aliens, despite being a movie about secret agents chasing evil aliens. that scene where jay helps an alien mother to give birth is probably one of the most humanizing moments for an Other ive seen in a movie ever.

[fipindustries]

like it grabs the body snatcher trope from the cold war "aliens are all around you, hidden in diguzise, they could be any one of us!" and then it says "and theyre just people, theyre literally just people trying to live their lives and thats fine"

[fipindustries]

you literally have a whooe scene where a cop stands out because he says "i dont care how menacibg or threatning someone looks im not going to shoot them if there is a reasonable explination for what theyre doing, one is sneezing and one is just doing excercise", and that is the guy that gets aproved to join MIB.

[phaeton-flier]

The movie has a real love for NYC and immigrant culture as a part of that. The opening scene where K welcomes the undocumented immigrants to the United States. One alien greets another and says he's ordered him pierogi. A lot of them are refugees from their home worlds who just want to survive.

If you embroider or hand sew in your bed, you may think to yourself, "I'm just gonna set my needle down real quick next to me/on my chest/literally anywhere except inside the project or on a needle catcher and I'll get it in a minute, it'll be fine." But it won't be fine. You'll lose the needle and then you'll have a loose needle just in your bed. Haunting you. Waiting for you. Craving your flesh and blood.

Use your needle catcher.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

You'll never guess what's loose in my bed right now.

i love the linguistic trend of expressing something difficult to describe by just not including an adjective where there usually would be one. “i had a day today,” or “he’s definitely one of the characters of all time.”

it’s like i can’t describe this so i just won’t. you get it tho.

xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat

[autisticexpression2]

There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.

Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.

Happy Pride.

Okay, this is awful, but it appeals to my weird sense of humor. And it's my tumblr.
