He’s calling again. I’ll find out what he wants from us. Out here, far away in our loneliness.

LIV ULLMANN and BIBI ANDERSSON as Alma and Elizabet in PERSONA (1966) dir. Ingmar Bergman

when i was a kid looking for something to imprint a sense of self on, instead of watching like don bluth movies or cartoon network or hannah montana i watched documentaries about animals brutally killing each other. and now there is something deeply wrong with me,

(cw: sexual assault) the pedophile -as it is understood outside of academic circles- is a mythical creature. the idea that a complete stranger who kidnaps and sexually assaults kids is their biggest threat is absolutely insane; not one case of CSA (child sexual assault) in a hundred looks like that. CSA is committed almost uniformly by adults in a preestablished position of authority (such as family, family friends, clergy, or teachers) and in a way that a victim who doesn't know what sexual assault looks like will be left unsure what happened to them. without knowing concretely how sex and sexuality works, would you be able to tell the difference between molestation and the various other forms of unwanted physical touch and abuse kids are regularly subjected to? would it even seem that different? but parenthood and the submission of youth to adults as institutions are threatened by the reality of CSA. adults need to justify their ownership of children through an imagined outside threat constantly held at bay through their diligence. the truth - that putting yourself in such a position of authority over children directly enables abuse (including sexual abuse) - is thrown aside.

"parent's rights" activists would never formulate it this way, but when you argue that children must be utterly subjugated to their parents above all else, you're arguing that parents should have a state-enforced monopoly on sexually assaulting their children. what else would such an ideology practically result in?

watched a porno where the two guys just kind of noncommittally jerked each other off for what felt like forever and when one of them eventually shot his load the other went "oh shit wtf!" and pogged like he didn't know something like that could even happen but thought it was kind of cool in a scary way

idk sorry

The most ethical period in your life to cheat on someone is when you're in highschool because it's literally like so normal it's like a greeting at that point, and the second most ethical is when you're married.

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

Hell yeah

hey. good luck with everything, okay? [cutting the rope connecting your boat to the dock] just good luck. [starts pushing your boat further towards the stream] just have a good luck out there

[not noticing I'm drifting out to sea] Meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow~

good luck! good luck!
