    quotable as hell, but also maybe we should never get nostalgic for the early-2000s

    (honestly surprised this had zero transphobic jokes, only homophobic ones)

    I am existentially buying a hamburger.

    (I want Maria’s hexagonal purple sunglasses so badly)

    It’s becoming increasingly apparent to me that Joan Didion loves California and Los Angeles and driving and the Mojave, but hates Hollywood and auteurs and adultery and inauthenticity. 

    Tuesday Weld is stunning and Anthony Perkins is acidic and all-consuming. What a difficult piece of New Hollywood cinema this is.

    my hometown refuses to teach sex education. it’s against state law, but they refuse to teach sex education. they refuse to let queer children know that people like them exist; they refuse to let asexual kids know they aren’t broken; they refuse to let trans children realize that there is a place for them and change is possible because that would sexualize the children, so they refuse to teach sex education. 

    i’m ashamed that my hometown refuses to teach sex…

    this is what happens when you let men think about the Roman Empire everyday.
