Vulnerability Is Scary, But Look How Beautiful It Looks (24” x 30”) / large scale work is scary for me but I like myself more and more when I take risks
these three scenes in Airplane! come one right after another and together they form the most lethal sequence in cinema history

Reblogging for the neck pain ones… whoa Nelly, do I ever get the most killer neck pains.
A woman traveling into the dark woods to an evil witch’s house to trade her firstborn child for selfish desires sounds a lot like a demonized version of a woman traveling to see a cunning woman to aid her with an unwanted pregnancy js
Holy shit….. this post is life changing
healing is coming
i hope ur right
that ussr propaganda poster that’s just a guy floating in space with the caption “there is no god” is so funny
So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.
hey have i ever told y’all about my cursed apartment building
cursed how, you say???? well, here’s the thing: no-one can fuckin see it. let me explain further
- i live in a tiny flat in a big red brick building with huge windows. it has a driveway with two columns on either side - not a thing you usually see in this area. it is opposite a bus stop and several corner shops. it is on a main, busy road. most significantly, it is attached to a church. a well-known church with a big pink sign on the front.
- all things that would make it easy to spot, right???? like if i gave that list of distinguishing features to someone along with my address then they’d be able to find my flat easily, right??? well APPARENTLY NOT
- we have never once had a delivery to our flat (outside of the usual postal service) where we haven’t been called by a lost courier
- usually, they are about thirty seconds away. “i’m by the church and i don’t know where to go from here,” they say. so we tell them, “it’s the building right next to the church!! the one you’re outside. that church. it’s the next building along. it’s opposite a bus stop and it has a driveway with two big columns.”
- without fail, they call back 5-10 minutes later, still lost.
- i have answered calls from both lost delivery people and friends where i’ve been able to see them standing in front of the driveway, from my window
- a friend of mine once drove past my building three times, while on the phone to me, getting increasingly panicked that she couldn’t figure out where she was going. she parked in a nearby road and i had to walk to her car and guide her to the driveway
- however, my flatmate and i found this place when we were flat-hunting first time, no trouble, and we don’t know what that means other than i guess this place chose us and the rent is so cheap because the estate agents were so relieved to find the first people in a thousand years who could actually see this fuckin building
- today a food delivery person called me to say he was outside the church, was told to go to the next building along, (a 20 second journey on foot) and arrived at my door 20 minutes later, saying, “sorry, i went to the back of this building by mistake. weird right???”
- this building doesn’t have a back
- it backs onto the rest of the church it doesn’t have a back where did he go
There’s probably a wizard’s pub somewhere around there and the spell keeps overlapping with the nearby buildings.
i haven’t really been interacting with the notes on this post bc it blew up unexpectedly and i’ve been rly busy, but reblogging again to say - holy fuck, there is actually a pub just down the road that’s all boarded up and derelict but i HAVE seen people go in and out of it and sometimes you can see a light on in the upstairs window
