#nice #i know it's dumb but it didn't even occur to me that there'd be. people attached to something like that.#but also same. i remember being 15 using vlc to help rip dvds to make gifs. i was so ambitious as a kid

I really do think that much of the harm that modern life causes is because of the inhuman pace at which we're expected to live it. I firmly believe that we could have a better quality of life if we could live our everyday lives at the pace of foot and hoof and sail.

You deserve to live at your natural pace.

#let me herd sheep. in real life and in my mind thank you.

what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

tbh, i didn't even think about that when i made my post and holy shit you're so fucking right

#i watched this recently and just #like they really called it #and the part where truman starts fucking losing it and he feels like he's going crazy everybody is in on it. that's how i feel all the time

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

#Donald Sutherland #like ok #*arrogant self-satisfied smirk*#love seeing all the stuff he was in pre like 1980 or so where they kept giving him cigarettes #and love knowing that he found out in the early 80s that he was actually allergic to something in tobacco products

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.
