For any of my deaf/hard of hearing/mute followers, or followers who know anyone who’s any of the above!

[the2headedcalf-moved]

whenever you have free time, check these out:

articles/essays

the real tragedy of beth march (i recommend this on every chance i get. it's why i find beth to be the most fascinating character in little women)

remote control (read this because of sufjan stevens. a very good account of the tonya harding scandal)

my grandma the poisoner (the horror i experienced the first time i read this is unparalleled. completely, utterly disturbing)

the empathy exams (you've probably heard of this and, yes, it deserves the hype)

exploring q slur (sigh) desire in hbo's succession (on the homoerotic undertones in succession's both seasons. need i say more?)

celebrity culture is burning (this is from march 2020, after gal gadot posted that atrocious imagine cover)

the age of instagram face (spot-on criticism of instagram beauty culture, fantastic read )

the lawless energy of teen-age girls (this is a new yorker piece on an excellent photography collection depicting teenage girlhood)

youtube channels/videos

liziqi (her videos will undoubtedly make you feel better on an off-day, especially on the cold winter days to come!)

goodnight moon (you will not believe the effort put into these themed asmr videos. check out her babblebrook series for cozy fantasy vibes)

asmr in movies & tv (ignoring the one of harry potter, this playlist offers quite a satisfying experience)

barbie movie clips (you did not know you needed this. it's a playlist of scenes from old barbie movies in extremely high definition)

reading my old diary like it's a work of classic literature (such a fun, light-hearted concept! watch this if you feel heavy and need a lil' something to cheer you up)

the immersive realism of studio ghibli and why miyazaki's films sound pretty (watching video essays on studio ghibli films is the highest form of self-care)

that time disney remade beauty and the beast and why the music in the live-action disney remakes is worse than you thought (disney-bashing is another great form of self-care)

how coraline borrows from ancient forms of storytelling (more specifically, it's a video essay on how coraline utilizes classic horror/ghost story tropes. very fascinating)

is titanic good, actually? (a lengthy video essay on the sweeping, epic tragedy that is titanic. enjoy)

parasite - the power of symbols and parasite's perfect montage (on the magnificent brilliance of bong joon ho's parasite)

misc.

the mytholadies podcast (very easy listening experience and fascinating explorations of your favorite ladies from mythology. they also do themed episodes every month!)

all three hadestown albums on spotify: concept album, original cast recording (live), original broadway cast recording (if the myth of orpheus and eurydice lives on your mind rent free, you need to listen to these. my personal favorite is the original cast recording, but all are fantastic)

the husband stitch (the chilling short story by carmen maria machado from the collection 'her body and other parties'. this is a favorite of mine)

the lottery (on the off-chance you haven't read this unsettling masterpiece, do it now)

artist searches childhood bully on facebook, doesn't expect to find this (this comic changed my perspective on everything)

subscribe (another comic i keep thinking about, this one's a critique of youtuber self-care culture)

this post (directs to one of the best writing resources i have ever come across)

i think tumblr is my preferred social media because it’s the website that reminds me the most of the internet from my childhood. like we are never again going to experience the internet the way it was in the early-mid 2000s when a lot of the Big Sites were just taking off  and didn’t exist yet and the internet was millions of weird small communities instead of like, Four Big Ones. Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube and whatever are always going to dominate now and even if you create your own little niche on twitter or whatever, random people are still going to find you and you can’t really escape bad takes from famous people or journalists who had one article published in the guardian and now think they are the authority on any given subject. but famous people don’t go on tumblr and advertising does not work here and you can’t see follower counts so influencers can’t exist even if they wanted to and a majority of the site are users who joined back in they hey day and stuck around because they know that no other site is going to provide them the kind of content tumblr does. yeah weirdos can still find you and your content can leave your little circle but it’s so much easier to build your own little world here for you and your friends who have the same interests without having to worry that like, your grandparents will see your post or fast food is advertised to you.
