What’s the opposite of seated? When something should be for me but I could not be less seated? I’m standing at the exit, I’m running away from the theater

Art is politics. When our culture is in a crisis, engaging with art deeply and critically is not a distraction or escapism. It’s essential to understanding where we are and how we got here. We can’t deprogram ourselves from ideology unless we can identify it, and it is embedded in our art. 📽️

Feeling bleak? Like you don't know where we go from here and you're not sure you wanna find out? You're not alone. Wintry despair is our movie mood for February. Misery loves company, so watch a couple of poetically pessimistic films & then join us for a warm cup of coffee & camaraderie 📽️

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE

A lot of people don't understand how the 2A supporters are so okay with this, and the answer (as brilliantly explained by Carol Anderson in her book "The Second" ) is that the 2A has never been about protecting everyone's right to bear arms, but rather protecting white people's property USING guns.

If you're just getting involved now, be patient with overloaded organizers and remember just like with donations, it's often more helpful to be able to commit a little bit of time over a long period of time than a lot for one day.

Controversial opinion: I don’t mind the streaming show ‘explain the plot again, describe what you’re doing’ model. Not everyone is mindlessly scrolling like a zombie. Things I do w TV on: cleaning, cooking, crafting. This is why rewatching is so popular. We are spread thin 📽️

time loop vs time travel - maybe there's a better term than 'time loop.' maybe 'predestination'? time travel might be a single trip to the past or future, a 'fish out of water' story. time loop deals with paradoxes and inevitability, & asks questions about free will and fate 📽️

Currently 1/3 of the way through Cory Doctorow's ENSHITTIFICATION audiobook on LIbby and I knew things were bad but I am galled at how brazen it all is. These tech oligarchs hate us, y'all. They think we're scum & they will skin us however they can. I'm listening to the whole book w my jaw dropped

I think Kanopy is the best streaming service for movie lovers. I like to check it once a month to see what new releases it has. There's always some gems I haven't seen, many times never even heard of, before

This is the only year I can remember that I think most of the nominees are truly excellent, and even so I think they should all be embarrassed to be in that room goofing around in front of Jafar Panahi and not giving him all the awards. A legend. He is too good for them, but awards help his cause 📽️

I forgot my headphones at home. I’m paralyzed. How does anyone do anything without a constant stream of noise piped into their ears to drown out the voices in their head? I’m about to blast some music on my computer speakers and annoy my coworkers. Maybe California Dreamin

Wong Kar Wai night 7: 2046. The only one I managed to catch in theaters, at the Cedar Lee when I was in undergrad. I love when an art house filmmaker makes a foray into sci-fi, my genre fiction of choice. I think all film has something sci-fi about it, baked into the medium ❤️💜💙💚 📽️

Wong Kar Wai night 6: arguably the best film of the 21st century, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE. WKW’s earlier films I rented back when that was a thing, then 2046 I saw at the Cedar Lee, then I saw this one last. Which is crazy bc it is so perfect & also everything I love about film 👀❤️💚💙
