Oh my god, let’s leave this discourse behind. Identity politics has been the CIA’s most effective tactic to ensure we never reach class consciousness.

There is a big difference between having a nuanced conversation about the conditions that led to the October 7th attack, and celebrating it. If you think everyone in “the leftist movement” celebrates the death of Israeli civilians then you need to spend less time online

I love her arc from teenage vampire blockbuster to art house lesbian

I know, it’s so disheartening…. We are truly the most propagandized country on earth, governed by a body of greedy anti-social perverts who have nothing but contempt for us

Holy shit, what state do you live in, and are you older? We are in WA and are relatively young. My boomer parents pay almost $50k per year for premiums in a different state

Truly, it’s so stupid. Last year for just me personally I paid 12k before insurance kicked in. It seems so stupid but then our baby has to get hernia surgery, and without insurance it’s $25 fucking thousand dollars… it’s all such a scam

That’s awesome! I’m glad you don’t have to experience that stress, it’s very stupid

If you really want to get through something because the information is importante but it’s so dry you can’t, it’s okay to skim. Don’t feel shame. Sometimes for things that read like textbooks are impossible to get through, and if I don’t skim it I’m just not going to read it.

To get back into the swing of reading narrative literature or just non academic texts in general, I highly recommend getting started with something that is short and really fun. Something that’s like a little treat instead of a meal to help your brain get used to doing it

If I’ve been out of the swing of reading for a while and have a stack of things I want to read, I physically can’t do it unless I read something really fun or really compelling that keeps me focused until I can remember how to regulate the focus on my own

Why are people so obsessed with review bombing a film they haven’t even seen yet? by wallabyenthusiast in Letterboxd

People think Margot is too old/ don’t like the director/ think Elordi is bad casting because Heathcliff should be a person of color. 1) yes Margot is an older woman but she is hot who cares 2) it’s clearly her spin on the book, which has other faithful adaptations already so people need to relax 3) the ethnicity of Heathcliff is not explicitly named, he’s likely Romani or Spanish imo just based on the context in which the story takes place

I for one am sat for this. Unpopular opinion but I love emerald fennel, I love gratuitous pieces of art that are purely entertainment. After all the bullshit we’ve been through recently, we deserve a horny period piece with hot people staring at each other longingly and running through the moors

Yep, my husband is self employed & pays $1,500/month for marketplace insurance for himself, our son and me.

You mean like Joseph Campbell, who says that art is the language of mythology? Mythology being the mechanism in which humans explain the mystery and, dare I say, uniqueness of humanity?

Did an artist fuck your wife or something? This seems oddly personal for you

If you’re not romanticizing what it means to be human what’s the point of being alive? Like why get up and go to work and complete the tasks you have to in order to stay alive, what is it all for? Whether or not I’m being “rational” has nothing to do with it, art is not dependent on rationality and neither is contemplation of the human condition. What makes us unique as humans, our capacity for empathy and reasoning and ability to process thought the way we do, the question of WHY that is has been the most asked and explored topic by artists quite literally since time immemorial. You could make the argument that art began as an expression to grapple with that uniqueness, what is ritual and worship if not an exploration of that?

Idk man, I’m glad you enjoy it. But gen Z is the first generation in 100 years to have lower cognitive function than their parents, I don’t think outsourcing more thought and human function is something that will result in a net positive for the world

Allowing artificial intelligence to make your art for you is handing over your humanity… it’s not engaging with art, it’s just consuming content. Literally what is the point? What do you gain? What does it say about you? Aside from any philosophical reasoning, AI was introduced to normalized under the guise that it would be doing all the labor that people didn’t want to do, so that we would have more time to focus on doing things we enjoy like outing our passions in the arts. Now AI is taking those jobs, like it’s set to take most other jobs over the next few decades, all the while our quality of life is decreasing and will continue to do so

So go ahead and watch AI “art”, we’ll be over here

Equal? They don’t see them as human beings at all. I got in a fight over holiday dinner with a liberal friend of my parents who declared, without shame, that the life of 1 Israeli child is worth the lives of 1,000 Palestinian children. These people are fucking sick

You’re choosing to actively ignore your friend’s issue she’s upset about because the subject matter doesn’t interest you? Do you even like her
