“The thing about that t-shirt that was so important to me, in terms of having it included in the pilot was the idea that she’s probably been wearing it since college. And it’s probably, like, threadbare, about to fall off her body, but she just will not let go. She will not let go. And when you see her wearing that shirt, she’s surrounded by a bunch of girls in evening gowns - She’s actually lying on the floor of a limousine, taking them basically to their slaughter. I always think of it as like a vegan working in a slaughterhouse.” - ‘Unreal’ showrunner Sarah Gertrude Shapiro

what the fuck is going on this year. january through june didnt happen. july is a distant memory. august and september were the longest months of my life. october ended in 5 seconds. why is november here already this isn’t right
It's the season erosion from the climate crisis, combined with a hyperindividualistic and stress-bound society. It warps your sense of time.
awesome. how do i stop all that though
