When someone with serious mental illness murders, they sensationalize the story like look it's one of them murdering again! But the vast majority of murders aren't committed by people with serious mental illness & the vast majority of people with serious mental illness aren't murdering.

celiac gang, rise up. we don't have to eat flourless chocolate torte every time. you can eat a little plate of raw beef while everyone else has their stupid little slice of cake. they can't stop you.

restaurants don't want you to know this but technically steak tartare is a gluten free dessert

It's finally time to watch that @vinsyn.bsky.social release I've been putting off. Their outstandingly well put together release of "Looking For Mr. Goodbar" (1977).

It's an unpopular opinion but I don't think it's good to live in a society where men can grab you off the street and there's literally nothing you can do about it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The only one that fully doesn't apply is "Often misdiagnosed as BPD instead of autism or ADHD with co-occuring CPTSD". I gave up circling everything, though.

[gestures at everything] ew

Tom Waits in more movies Now.

millennials and older who dont know what they're talking about typing "CAN ANYONE READ ANYMORE" when getting pedantic about something they know nothing about.... can't account for that lol best of luck in the water wars

and low media literacy is likely not the fault of the user, particularly if they're young -- it isn't prioritized on or offline in a mainstream way!

we've reached a point in online discourse where users w low to no media literacy have started turning that same argument on experts who know what they're talking about. it's straight men learning mental health language to pardon themselves for cheating all over again lol

If you have a film shot by Gregg Toland, of course you'd release it 4 times. Which Howard Hughes did with "The Outlaw". Shooting wrapped in 1941, it then saw an original release in 1943. Before re-releases in 1947, 1950, & 1952. And Hughes sold the film to himself (he owned RKO at the time) in 1948.

Charles McGraw, William Talman, and Robert Mitchum in a Howard Hughes wet dream called "One Minute To Zero" (1952).

Time for a little early morning disassociation

The fantastic Franco 1984 4

poorly made Matthau meme from latest Behind The Bastards @coolzonemedia.bsky.social, @whysophiewhy.bsky.social, @margaret.bsky.social, @iwriteok.bsky.social.

Fall Of Franco 29 with the very Jess Franco-y title of "The Night Of Open Sex"/"La noche de los sexos abiertos" (1983). Lina Romay was the greatest actor in the world.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

guys who bring up george washington a lot love to know absolutely zero historical or biographical information and just imagine he's a cool guy who would agree emphatically with whatever weird shit they're saying over beers after the militia meetup

your worth as a person doesn't come from the way people treat you 💜

lmfao

An ally of convenience isn’t an actual ally and people need to learn this.

Pretty sure, not 100% certain, tonight will be the first time my mom will be seeing a John Ford movie in a theater. But not just that, it'll 100% certainly be the first time I'm seeing a John Ford picture in a movie theater. The theater: @gaptheatre35.bsky.social. The movie: "Donovan's Reef" (1963).

This version of "My Ship" really soars. Love the "Miles Ahead" (1957) album. 1/2

Listening to Peter Laughner

Soundtrack album for "Looking For Mr. Goodbar" (1977), which has a top notch @vinsyn.bsky.social 4k release I've been putting off watching until I listened to the music of the film by itself. Although granted, The O'Jays song "Back Stabbers" is certainly a favorite. Love the Philly soul sound.

Phil Ochs posting

Something about the organ & piano sounds on "Albert's House" (1969) by Chet Baker. Also, this might be the worst studio album for his playing. Not an expert on Baker or jazz. But this is a truly fascinating album, Baker's first album post broken embouchure & having to relearn his instruments. 1/2

careful what you wish for, Joe

To deny the past is to deny the future.

I only care about Lester Young. Everybody else can get behind Lester Young

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.

Fall Of Franco 28/37

Care does not happen in psych wards. Stabilization of crisis can happen in psych wards, & it's purely being in a contained environment with doctors all around adjusting meds. The rest of what happens in psych wards is torture. We will need to see the end of the psych ward for mad liberation.

All of the trans woman competition bans follow a simple logic. They see us as men, and they see us competing with cis women in any capacity as unfair because they see cis women as inferior in every aspect to even "failed" men. I cannot stress enough how much these people hate and detest women.

We're in the middle of a global backlash against feminism in which the prevailing line of thought is that women are inferior to men in every capacity, to the extent that no woman can successfully compete with a man in any circumstance.

Big Lebowski on 35mm at the @gaptheatre35.bsky.social, absolute cinema in the parlance of our times.

Fuck Gianni Infantino! Viva CARMINE INFANTINO!

"Candy Mountain" (1987)

Dreams do come true, getting to see "The Big Lebowski" (1998) tonight at the @gaptheatre35.bsky.social.

This isn’t who the country is to them. It’s exactly who the country is if you’re black, Indigenous, or from any other minority group. This is what it’s always been. It’s simply become too inconvenient for you to ignore. It was fine when it flew under the radar. Now it’s gone “too far”.

Until white liberal America stops trying to play the “this isn’t who we really are” game things won’t change. They need to actually acknowledge, address and promise restitution to the people who your ancestors have murdered, and enslaved. This kind of denialism is flagrantly dishonest.

Eugenics isn't bad because it's a bad word. It's bad because it leads to the mass death of the socially undesirable.

I guess I’m tired of our culture of incredulity & all we have to pretend is complicated when it’s plain & all the wrongs we’re forced into complicit silence about so the powerful won’t be held to account & I really feel when Bambara asked “What are we pretending not to know today?”
