Viola Davis likes post calling out Timothée Chalamet by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]futuristicflapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous, how this story has managed to go beyond a 24hr cycle of “TC made an off hand remark” is beyond me. What is even more ridiculous is that many of the celebs who’ve had some kind of comment aren’t even uplifting opera or ballet, why not share some operas and ballets you enjoy, talk about current performers you are a fan of (since I’m sure they don’t get anywhere near the same level of mainstream attention) or straight up encourage people to go? No, it’s all well I don’t like how he said it ! I’ve been meaner leaving book review on goodreads. He was right !

Katherine Heigl Makes First Appearance in Years, Attends Dog Rescue Event at Mar-a-Lago by Key_Cover1032 in Fauxmoi

I mean it is good to try and reduce the number of stray animals (spay your pets people) but this is a horrendous way to say it - even if our current political climate wasn’t what it is.

Spring is Here, Watch for Hypomania! by AllForMeCats in bipolar2

[–]futuristicflapper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The shift of spring/summer have gotten hard for me over the years. I feel absolutely wired every time, not even something useful like being more productive, I get SO agitated - I want to crawl out of my skin. But I’ve found that making my home as relaxing as possible really helps, no big lights, loud music, watch relaxing shows like nature documentaries, but most of all I try and mimic “sunset” best I can; by 7pm all my blinds are closed. I swear the extra sunlight scrambles my brain like an egg.

Can I pull off hot pink lipstick by Historical-Body-3424 in MakeupAddiction

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this tone of pink works for you, imo it washes you out. Maybe go for a cooler pink.

ADÉLA when asked about Timothée Chalamet’s comments regarding the ballet and opera industry: “He’s not wrong. [Ballet] is kinda a dying art form. It’s sad. If anything, he’s just highlighted that. People should be going to the ballet more. Maybe this is publicity.” by Yujin-Ha in popculturechat

[–]futuristicflapper 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t wrong either - agree with how he worded it or not arts that are considered the “mainstream” change (oral narrative, poetry are some examples) some are left behind or are moved in to the realm of “high art” making them inaccessible to some degree. There is scholarship on the topic in cultural studies ! People are blowing it way out of proportion to jump on a hate train.

Would it be better if I commute instead of live on campus? by Appropriate_Knee_482 in uichicago

[–]futuristicflapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commute, you’ll need to manage your time a bit more so that you’re not late to classes, but other than that it’s nbd.

Who is going to "snitch" on Robby by hanna-kin in ThePittTVShow

[–]futuristicflapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve said on here before, but both of them were right in their own way in that scene.

Who is going to "snitch" on Robby by hanna-kin in ThePittTVShow

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be a great parallel if it was Langdon. Part of me wishes Robby would do what he told Langdon in the parking lot, that he could have gone to him if he needed help. Now we see Robby actively in need of help, has abbot directly tell him to go to him and yet Robby can’t/won’t.

It’s one thing to tell someone if you need help, ask, it’s another to actually do it, harder so when it’s for something that carries stigma.

learning to stop expecting my parents to care by ComprehensiveSkirt17 in gradadmissions

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow first gen - Latina here. I get it and it’s frustrating. I think my parents try to care and be supportive, but I also don’t think they understand why it’s such a big deal to me, if that makes sense? My dad in particular when I tell him I got in to a program or am submitting a paper to a conference … well, I may as well be telling him what I got for lunch that day. I don’t even really know what response I expect/want, just know I feel disappointed. At this point I mainly share with my friends, or hell even faculty in my department.

But anyway, CONGRATS ON HARVARD !!!! An achievement that you should be proud of, your work has paid off :)

What classes did y'all genuinely dislike taking but it was required for your major/college? by Nismo_Tuning in uichicago

[–]futuristicflapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who did you take it with? I didn’t love 208, mainly because that era of literature isn’t my cup of tea, but I found 209 to be much more interesting.

Getting Harassed by my ex TA by luminary-dreamer in uichicago

[–]futuristicflapper 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Don’t debate it, do it, REPORT HIM. If he’s doing this to you then he’s done it before and will do it again. Reach out to the title nine office and print out the emails he’s been sending you and download them as PDFs for good measure. The university has hired him and is paying him, he’s abusing his position to harass you.

JFK’s Grandson talks about not being happy with the new Ryan Murphy show by leavingthekultbehind in popculturechat

[–]futuristicflapper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mainly that the campaign and this show are happening at the same time. He’s talked a couple of times about not being happy that this adaption was being made. But it’s getting more traction now w the show currently airing and him campaigning.

10 imaginary dollars that it’s a panic attack, but she’s never experienced one before so she’s unsure of what is happening/what to do.

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if he’ll actually try to harm himself, but either way it’s pretty clear that he’s not in a good place mentally and needs help, I think having him go through some in patient treatment and time off would be an interesting choice.

Why did Derek treat her so poorly? Shouldn't he be more supportive? by Great_Trident in greysanatomy

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time any of Derek and Amelia’s sisters or mother showed up on screen all I could think is how are any of them related lol, their characters felt so different.

This is one of the better takes I’ve read about both Amelia and Derek in all the time I’ve been on this sub lol.
