Being an actor keeps me sane. Yeah I have to work a day job but know what? When my day job is stressful and I want to scream I get to go hey wait. I have a scream scheduled at 7:30 tonight. Gotta save up. And then I go back to what I was doing.

I have a scream scheduled, I have a kiss scheduled, I have an argument scheduled, I have a making up scheduled, I have a sing and dance scheduled, I have a get slapped in the face scheduled, I have a cry scheduled, whatever. It’s all good.

Something something the Greeks were right about catharsis.

ohhhhhhhhhh my god and when you argue you always have a comeback, and when you make up there’s no lingering anger, and when you scream you don’t have to hold back, and when you get slapped in the face you know you’re safe, and when you cry you know all will be well.

Oh and if it doesn’t turn out and your character dies or something well then you can go to the greenroom and have a snack and that’s good too.

Everyone saying “oh like bdsm” or “oh like larping.” Yes. Humans thrive on imagination and play in many ways.

Thank you for commenting because I was going to scroll past this.

#they always see ‘pixie’ and ‘dream’ and ‘girl’#but forget the terrible awesome driving power of ‘manic’

was gonna make a comp of stuff from the various interesting things from th various muppet style guides but this one hit so hard i had t post it on its own

I hate the "Oh ur posting without tags? how is anyone supposed to find ur post🥺" warning shit tumblr does now. the hand of god will deliver me unto others

Every time this message pops up I astral project into the office of a tumblr dev and say “oh ur running a website without a working search function? How is anyone supposed to find ur post 🥺”

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

CHEERS TO GUY WALTON FOR “OUTING” THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES

From the article:  

Walton has devised his own criteria for named heatwaves in the US, based on duration and extremity, on a one to five scale similar to hurricanes. Heatwave Chevron is classed as a four and is “historic”, Walton said. The meteorologist said he has a list of 20 oil and gas companies – including Exxon and Shell – for upcoming heatwaves and will turn to coal companies if he runs out of names.

OUTSTANDING MOVE

Honestly when Bilbo tells the trolls that he is “a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean,” it would have been great if the Trolls just enlisted him to cook all of the dwarves. That would have gotten him out of his adventure quickly, too, which I’m sure he would have appreciated.

[Image description: Two smartphone screenshots of a Facebook post by a person named Sheila Toll posted 2 Sep. It is black text on a white background and the post is public. The post reads:

I am a Family Doctor and I want to keep a promise made to a patient. 

Julie was a healthy, post-menopausal woman in my care who came in for a periodic health examination. One of my routine questions, in what is called the “Review of Systems”, was to ask if she had experienced any vaginal bleeding. 

She said “No” but then laughed and added, “Other than when my period came back for a few months last year”. 

All health care professional are taught early on that ‘vaginal bleeding in a post-menopausal woman is Cancer of the Uterus until proven otherwise’. This comment by Julie was, therefore, a red flag (no pun intended) prompting further questions, an examination and an ultrasound of her pelvis. 

Julie was surprised to see me so concerned, especially since the symptoms had not recurred over many months. 

Sure enough, a pelvic ultrasound and tissue sampling confirmed Cancer of the Uterus. 

Julie underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy. She is now healthy, cancer-free and is expected to stay that way. 

After all this was done, Julie sat ME down for a talk. She told me she’d had no idea a ‘short return’ of her period after menopause was a danger signal. Furthermore, she addressed the topic with friends over coffee and discovered that, out of 20 women, NONE of them knew this symptom was abnormal! She admonished me to “Tell women this! Don’t assume we know it!”

From that day on, I have kept Julie’s advice in mind when talking with post-menopausal patients. But recently my wife suggested that I should take this to a wider audience. 

So, Julie, this is for you: 

If you are a post-menopausal woman and your period ‘comes back’ or you have even one episode of vaginal bleeding, TELL A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL and insist on having it investigated! 

Wishing you all good health and long lives. End image description.]

i say this to every girl i love: abandon shame

EXACTLY

god people on twitter are so fucking dumb someone said (correctly) that it sucks that oppenheimer yet again focuses on the emotional experience of yet another tortured white man genius and completely glosses over the people actually impacted or killed by the atrocity of the bomb and the entire process of its creation (literally correct!!!!)

and everyone has been spending the next several days gleefully dunking on them like "oh so you're mad the oppenheimer film was about oppenheimer? what did you expect?" "you want christopher nolan to make a film centering japanese voices? 🙄 lmao sure that would have gone well" "there is already a huge body of work in japanese cinema made by japanese filmmakers about their experience of the bomb, arguably all japanese cinema since that time had been affected by it, just say you're personally uneducated and go"

and i'm just like. you are all SO dumb and being purposefully obtuse to dunk on this person and make them sound unreasonable when the actual point is like. we (society) should stop giving american white man cinematic auteur filmmakers massive budgets to make tortured white man biopics centering the emotional experience of what was it like for this tortured white man when he was committing atrocities!!!!!! the point is we've made enough of these films! hollywood has been making them forever!!! make something else!!

also everyone conveniently focused on the fact that the original tweet mentioned japanese people bc there is a wealth of japanese cinema about the bomb but they conveniently ignored the other group the original tweet mentioned which was native & hispanic americans who were massively impacted by nuclear tests done in secrecy in new mexico which is something a lot of usamericans aren't even aware happened let alone something that hollywood is clamoring to make blockbuster films about. and like… yes oppenheimer is tortured on the day of the trinity test because of the existential horror of the bomb and i'm sure this is featured in the film, but that had nothing to do with the fact that the first bomb they dropped was on usamerican soil or with the real physical horrors that he actually inflicted on the usamericans downwind of the test site.

(and the tweet ALSO mentioned interned japanese americans which there ALSO is a dearth of stories about in usamerican media because there is no tortured white man at the center of it, it is just a horrific inhuman thing that the american government did to its own citizens, and the scotus decision that enshrined it in usamerican jurisprudence remains (well, functionally) on the books to this day with a direct straight line drawn to trump v hawaii in 2018. like. no one's making blockbuster films about this in america despite this being a USAMERICAN story, not one that japanese cinema in japan should tackle, because it is not interesting to hollywood without a famous recognizable figure to place at the center of it. the stain of it is too fucking great and addressing any of this properly would be too "anti-american" so no one is going to touch it. that film COULD NOT and would not get made by any big studios.)

it's so wild that the only way people can conceive of criticism of oppenheimer (or honestly any film) is within the film's own existing framework, i.e. a massive blockbuster about oppenheimer directed by christopher nolan on a $100M budget with an insane marketing push ("you want christopher nolan to shoehorn in japanese voices into that??? wtf??? idiot"), rather than as a critique of what kinds of movies get funded and made in hollywood, and which filmmakers get to make films in the american film industry.

“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than 1/4 of your income.

Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.

After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.

The housing market is a fucking travesty.

Hmm what happened in the mid eighties....

With so many film tiktokers not knowing what to make videos on during the sag strike I’m in all of their comments being like ‘you should analyze Goncharov’

I’m hoping eventually SOMEONE with any kind of following will make an in-depth analysis of the movie
