I’m a physical media girl, and I’ve been buying DVDs and blurays for more than 20 years now.

I own 2318. I know that because I have a spreadsheet. But among those there are 405 that I have never seen. So it’s time to change that.

I’ll be trying to watch one movie every day or two, though my work schedule will likely prevent that regularly.

There are some DVDs I never plan to watch. For the most part, they’re kids shows and films I originally bought for my daughter and my niece and don’t have a personal interest in. I also expect I’ll be buying more DVDs as I go, so it’s likely progress may not always be seen.

It’s been a long while since I’ve actually been active on tumblr, but… I got a new blog where I just finally watch all the DVDs and Blurays in my collection that I have not watched yet

horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy

[jvlianbashir]

when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the back of my mind) these people were hand-selected for visual appeal. this is a set. this is a story

when the actor has a little acne and there are dirty dishes in the sink: aaaaahhhhh this is just like Me and My House ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I have seen a young lady with her table loaded with volumes loaded of fictitious trash, poring day after day and night after night over highly wrought scenes and skillfully portrayed pictures of romance, until her cheeks grew pale, her eyes became wild and reckless, and her mind wandered and was lost — the light of intelligence passed behind a cloud, and her soul was forever benighted. She was insane, incurably insane from reading novels.

Basically the gist of TikTok discourse around the romantasy reading, fairy smut girlies.

I keep saying the same shit moral panic “bad books are ruining women’s brains” thing gets recycled over and over.

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

I haven’t posted on this blog in 6 years but felt I needed to come on here today. I feel devastated by this, as I am sure many of you are feeling this way too. Always knew this one would hurt, Rest in Peace, our Watcher ♥️

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

sixpencee got less hate for straight-up admitting to owning a child slave than I do for saying children shouldn't be treated as property

[atelier-tamamoland]

like i'll say "parents should not be able to unilaterally override their child's consent" and some dipshit will see the word consent and the smoke from the hollowed-out crater that used to be their critical thinking skills will immediately coalesce into a message in my ask box calling me a pedo. no fucking hope for any of you

[atelier-tamamoland]

which I say, by the way, because one of my closest friends was able to be effectively disappeared off the face of the earth and sent into the woods to be sexually abused and tortured into being straight due to parents effectively owning their children as property. if you are a minor your consent simply does not actually matter - whether you get vaccinated, whether you get to go to school, whether people get to hug touch you, what you wear, how your hair is cut, what your hobbies are, whether you get to have friends, and yes, whether you want to be sent to a torture camp in the woods or not - your consent is entirely meaningless because your parents can simply override it, and there's fuckall you can do about it, because you aren't a person, you're just property. the family dog has more protections against being abused than children do

but! if you ever point this out you get called you a rapist

it's been said a thousand times but "male loneliness epidemic" is just our entire generation's loneliness PANdemic. it's just the crisis of capitalism. almost all young people these days are lonely and depressed because of the crisis and decay of the system we live under and tbh the centering of "male loneliness" in this discussion is embarrassing but also a really understandable consequence of sexism & this current stage of culture war . "Oh won't someone think of the young men" oh won't someone think about class consciousness lol
