Kinda makes you wonder whether all the sweaty, performative talk about "self-reliance" and all the hatred directed at urbanites is about a deep subconscious awareness of their dependence. Maybe they recognize on some level that they can't hack it on their own.
One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.
feels appropriate to bring up the "if you can walk to the cafe but the barista has to drive an hour to work there, you dont live in a walkable community, you live in a theme park" anecdote here
ALSO??????
There's zero romance
Which *I* really love
AND the characters hug eachbother at the end, like people who worked together or got help from someone, give a little huggy, and it feels hella real instead of making things romantic after an insane and dangerous ordeal
ALSO this show is almost entirely Women Doing Shit
Like you know how mpst shows are a bunch of dudes and then 1 woman and maybe a secondary woman?
This show is the opposite. All the big roles are women, plus 1 dude, both seasons, and another side dude
My 80 yo mum says this about my grandparents, she's like why don't you think we'd want to know a bunch of this shit
My grandpa was into the family tree, but otherwise a LOT of pieces are missing
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Hana is SO COOL we LOVE her
Last ep of Red Eye S2, this shit is CRAZY
I feel like it shows she has good instincts
Like she's a good neighbour who will help a random person, but she can also spot when the situation is a little fishy and abnormal and finds out what's up
Plus the superintendent trying to warn her LMAOOOOOO poor New Neighbour, she landed on Drama Floor
Anyway I'm a virgo so I'm ready to give her every single fucking detail I know if that's what she wants 😌😌
I bet she was like why is she asking a random neighbour to get her to the hospital, this is crazy, and then had to spend 5 hours with her
She said "i think she has dementia" and I was like "i mean... maybe???" Because she's been that way the whole time, she's just deaf now, she still acts the same
Like I could tell she was looking for info because the situation seemed super weird and off
And it's because Crazy Neighbour Lady should be in a home, and while she does have support visits, she needs more than that
She only has a friend who is also OLD and a woman who kills herself helping her
ANYWAY i quickly told New Neighbour to be careful helping her because next thing she's coming to you daily.
She's a teacher so she's a mandatory reporter, so probably has more concern and eyeballs looking for people in trouble, I get that, and that's super cool, but yeah CNL is too much
An old lady bringing you little things, that sounds cute and nice, how ungrateful
NO
She won't stop and she'll come to you several times a day asking for help with things, treat you like you work for her, never let you speak, never hear "no" and give you shit you don't want to make up for it
She told me that Good Superintendent had already said he was going to talk to her about CNL, so he was already planning to give her a warning
Because CNL had focused on HIM for a while, bringing him recipes and gifts and whatever every day untol our Manager wrote her a LETTER telling her to stop
LAST night she took neighbour lady to the hospital, and I asked "in an emergency or for an appointment?"
It was an emergency, and she stayed at the ER with her for 5 hours 😭
So I told her OUR trials with her, and to be careful because once you help her, she's knocking on your door constantly
Omggggg Crazy Neighbour Lady Update
So last week we got a new neighbour on the other side, and tonight she knocked on our door
She was like hi im your new neighbour have you been here long? Can you... tell me the deal with your other side neighbour?
And we were both like 😬😬😬😬 at each other
Extremely pleased with the safety googles I ordered tho, lol
I only let them sit for 10 minutes before rinsing and it DID remove the color maybe like 10% odk I have to wait for it to dry
I'm going to try making a flour paste with it maybe?
And if it doesn't satisfy me I'm going to go ahead and try bleach instead, but was hoping to NOT use actual bleach
This powder is meant to be dissolved in boiling water and COOKED with the fabric
But i want to make a paste with it so I can do spatter and droplets, or print with it
So this time i added a tiny amount of boiled water and flicked with a toothbrush, then added more water to soak another scrap
Hokay I started saving all my shit from my old laptop onto the external drive, but it's taking ages because old computer
I got bored and decided to try using the Rit color remover, got my gloves and googles and mask on, and had hoodie scraps
I did ok, for a lazy short experiment!
Saturday annoys me, I'm riding an emotional high because there's no grocery day for a week, but I'm too tired from grocery day to do anything 😭
An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.
AND fucken Matthew McConaughey was there at whatever this interview with him and he was LAUGHING and being like "yeah for real" with this little bitch and I'm also SO MAD at HIM too he should know better and he should have been able to be like lol bro wtf
That Chalamet kid who put down cat ladies also put down fucking ballet and opera a couple days ago because he thinks they're obsolete?????
And all my ballet and opera AND every other kind of artist I follow on insta are so mad and I'M so mad, and I just want to crush his stupid little head
me: you think somewhere there's a taxidermist who uses a stuffed pig as a piggy bank?
wife: we don't actually have to talk about every thought you have
🚨🚨🚨URGENTE🚨🚨🚨
sometimes you have to stop talking and look at the good in life and let your heart be open and fall in love with the world again, and it's not easy but you have to do it or you'll go insane. that's the Cait method
