Don’t you have to read good books to be a good writer?

You need a balanced diet of Peak, Dogshit, indulgent tripe, top 40 shit, almost-peak, niche peak, and experimental avante garde shit.

"I love words very much. I've always loved to talk, and I've always love words — the words that rest in your mouth, what words mean and how you taste them and so on. And for me the spoken word can be used almost as a gesture. ... Dancing is very like poetry. It's like poetic lyricism, sometimes, it's like the rawness of dramatic poetry, it's like the terror — or it can be like a terrible revelation of meaning. ...To me, the body says what words cannot. I believe that dance was the first art ... because it's gesture, it's communication. That doesn't mean it's telling a story, but it means it's communicating a feeling, a sensation to people. Dance is the hidden language of the soul, of the body. And it's partly the language that we don't want to show."

If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.

You really start to understand that the “angry black woman” and “mean lesbian” stereotype only exists to shame us for the fact we get reasonably upset about people wanting to horrifically abuse us indiscriminately. Let’s get meaner !

no sorry but in context the tmmm loco amor scene feels like the craziest shit ever put to screen. lenny bruce is midge's comedy fairy godmother slash agony aunt slash spirit of new york slash part-time innocent flirtationship who she knows nothing about but can read like a book. they meet almost exclusively by accident and never talk about anything that means anything to either of them—unless it is funny. each time they meet, a temporary pocket universe is created to hold specifically them for specifically that moment but it would never in a million years occur to her to seek him out in the real world. so then imagine her seeing him while she's on tour. in florida. where for some reason lenny decides, yes. now. he invites her out for a drink in a few weeks and then shows up to collect twenty-four hours later because he apparently can't wait that long. and he brings her on live television with him and introduces her as his beloved wife (or sister) (but definitely wife) and then immediately after takes her on the most astonishingly sexy and atmospheric date of all time where they do nothing but eye fuck and utterly forget to be funny. and dance. he is so visibly in love with her he can't even engage with her attempted bits. their dynamic is completely wrecked but also completely the same. it's like a fever dream. the universe is still making room for them even though it shouldn't. they're speedrunning falling in love for reasons that do not seem clear to either of them but are also completely exactly right. they don't have sex because it can't be over yet. it just can't. and it was never supposed to happen at all but now they know it has to. someday. (before they're dead.) this happens in approximately half an hour
