Watching any movie before 2000 reminds you that people in movies used to be hot but like in a normal way

[wakesirens]

there was a point in the odyssey where i thought to myself surely the movie has to end soon right. surely this will wrap up soon. and it went on for another full hour.

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

there's this weird thing people fall into online a lot, where people assume that if the [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged then people will, naturally, do [perceived-to-be-superior] version of [activity] instead. When really it's just as (or more) likely that if [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged people just won't do it at all.

audiobook listeners are not necessarily people who would otherwise do a lot of traditional reading if audiobooks did not exist, many are people who simply would experience zero books. Booktok romance readers would not necessarily be reading the classics if booktok did not exist, many of them would simply not read. Fanfiction writers would not necessarily be novelists if fanfic wasn't an option, many would just be people who didn't write. You know?

Just your annual heads up, Northern Ontario is actively on fire with little resources from the provincial government to combat them. Over 144 fires on record, you've seen the fire from Armstrong and another from Collins, but several First Nations along the corridor have lost their homes and have been displaced. Please keep them in mind this season as the fires have devastated their homes and displaced them, some were evacuated to Niagara where they face indiscriminate racism.

Please support some of the following (and please feel free to tag more)

Thunder Bay Community Pasture

Northern Reach Network

Both the Nokiiwin Tribal Council at 384 Fort William Road and the Superior Inn at 555 West Arthur Street in Thunder Bay are accepting donations for evacuees. They've posted that they're in dire need of baby and toddler supplies (especially diapers and formula) and cat and dog food and supplies. (X)

Anishinabek Nation is also accepting donations in solidarity w the Namaygoosisagagun First Nation

Remember when mike flanagan changed the last lines of haunting of hill house from “whatever walked there, walked alone” (deranged, gorgeous, suggestive of a solitude so complete it’s like a companionship) to “whatever walked there, walked together” (stupid, grammatically awkward, hallmark channel original) and we let him live to tell the tale #throwingup #vomit #blood #killmike #prodeathpenalty #mikeflanagandeath
