HOT FUZZ dir. Edgar Wright | 2007

i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad

“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

The idea that young people are getting used to not being able to speak in public about sex, queerness etc without talking around censors, and see this as normal and not a problem, scares me tbh.

The fact that people are so comfortable with being censored that they Voluntarily censor themselves on words and topics that aren’t even being limited is a terrifying sign

I hate to be like the “THIS IS JUST LIKE 1984” guy but. there was literally a thing in that book where you had to say “double plus ungood” instead of “bad” because you weren’t supposed to talk about bad things. if you told me ten years ago that “unalive” was a word that George Orwell had coined for Newspeak I would have believed you.

Children are wild my 4 yo is currently screaming bloody murder in the back of the car because I won't acknowledge that she's screaming bloody murder. Make it make sense girl

I can already smell the comments, no I am not neglecting or ignoring my child. I very calmly told her "I love you and I am here for you and when you can talk to me without yelling at me I am happy to talk about what you need. You can yell all you want to, but don't expect mommy to fight against you for your own attention"

And she is yelling "IM MAD AND I DONT KNOW WHHHHHHHYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHHH" so we're obviously just working through some stuff 🤣

tiny voice says "uhm mama I am done schreaming"

"Okay honey. Can you tell me what was wrong now?"

"Uhm I can't fink. I think I just need a pretzel"

Update on this in the car this past weekend penny very loudly said "OH NO I NEED A SNACK OR I WILL BE ANGRY!" So we're doing really good at naming our emotions ... or at least our hunger 😂
