hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Made a book list, there are definitely missing ones but these are the main books. mostly novels, with a few exceptions. Sleeping on the wing, a poetry anthology, was not on there, but if anyone's read that please include that in your count, it rearranged my brain repeatedly

A Century of Movie Musicals

Based on our #100MovieMusicals project. The list got… a bit out of hand, so I trimmed out the fat and boiled this down to. well. honestly still a bit more than 100 movies, but you should see what I cut out! (Very much inspired by all the movie lists @variousqueerthings has been posting!)

I've rewritten this section a half dozen times because the movie musical is a big sprawling complicated frustrating genre. It's

a chronology of movies is always likely to make people look like they haven't watched a ton of the items on it, because most people don't watch films from all eras equally! when we started the project i'd seen maybe about the same number, despite watching a pretty solid set of musicals growing up

plus i trimmed off a lot of the broadway adapations that have come out in the last 20 years, because they… aren't good? not as movies anyway, and I have my doubts about the quality of the original plays, but then i have Some Opinions about the post-sondheim musical theater tradition

49 -- a lot on this list making me 👀👀 been fun reading your forays also would be interested in hearing your post-sondheim opinions film recs movie recs musicals
