Sex Isn't Real And You Can't Have It

[beggars-opera]

Just lost a few braincells reading an nyt article about gen z "treat culture" and I can't even fathom that this is a thing. We're living in a dystopian hellscape where someone spending $5 a week on a cookie is considered a wasteful brat because they should have just gone for a nice free walk instead and saved the $250 a year that roughly equals four days' rent. That's why these ungrateful kids can't buy a house, naturally.

I am ALL for free treats, like hiking or reading in the park. But at some point you can't budget your way out of poverty, and you will literally go mad if you deny yourself basic pleasures that are literally all around you. They even lamented that little treats could snowball into doing something absolutely unforgivable like learning how to play the guitar or buying concert tickets.

At what point do we just start saying out loud that living an enjoyable and fulfilling life is now only acceptable at a 100k+ salary, and if you're one of the millions of people unlucky enough not to be in that category you should just eat dirt and be grateful?

it's literally millennial avocado toast bullshit all over again, but with nary a pause in between them.

how is it that i've spent 24 years on this earth without knowing who Woody Strode was?

[little-miss-rasputin-pageant]

for those who don't know Woody Strode was a Black American actor that was primarily active in the late 50s and 60s. his grandmother was Black Cherokee and his grandfather was Black Creek. he was a world-class decathlon and was culturally educated, majoring in history and culture, to the extent that in 1971 he said “I could walk into the White House with it now.” he served in the Air Force during World War II. he starred as the first Black lead in a mainstream cowboy movie in Sergeant Rutledge (1960). his first wife was Princess Luukialuana Kalaeloa, a distant relative of Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii, and they were married until her death. he was also an accomplished martial artist. oh, and Sheriff Woody from Toy Story was named after him.

you'd think "nudity on its own is not taboo in many cultures of the world" is essential trivia that everyone encounters by the age of ten, which informs people how taboos are non-rigid social constructs. but no, every day you will meet people containing a lifetime of informed opinions and moral frameworks, whose world views would be shattered by telling them "nudity on its own is not taboo in many cultures of the world"

(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”
