honestly i never thought the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation

guys I’m losing my damn mind at this army military parade they’re holding tomorrow for Trump’s birthday but not for the reasons anyone thinks

like coming from the person with a neurodivergent-grade hyperfixation on the history of the national mall and the infrastructure of Washington DC they are playing with MONUMENTAL levels of hubris here and that’s not just a pun. they constructed the main parade stage on top of a stretch of road that covers the mouth of a still-present creek that flows underneath that part of town and plan to drive MILITARY GRADE EQUIPMENT on top of it after days of intense heat and humidity followed by potential flood-causing rain tonight and tomorrow

THEY ARE ASKING FOR A SINKHOLE, MAN

Honestly no matter how this shakes out, the win I'm taking today is there are many MAGA Elon fanboys who are no longer Elon fanboys, and many MAGA Elon fanboys who are no longer MAGA fanboys

thinking about this again, as i sit in the first rehearsal for the first professional show im the sm for, in which my director made me do meisner.

why is it always meisner

watching cynthia interact with the thespians is so funny to me as a stage manager/lighting tech doing theater in college. cause like. actors are so much /pos. last semester i was apsming a show and the director INSISTED that the stage management team participate in all the bonding games and exercises at the start of the production. and one of the exercises was the meisner exercise they’re doing in rotpl. and my (and the psm’s) reaction to it was “this is weird and very, very silly, why are we staring into each others eyes talking about our hair color.” and the cast was so into it.

like it’s so clear to me that all of these actors are just grown up theater kids (affectionate) and i’m just trying to imagine how god damn hilarious it was for ari to have to act like they were absolutely baffled by everything they’ve been surrounded by (presumably) a good chunk of their life. and nim had to be so god damn serious about a high school play and i just can’t. imagine being at your job and having to act like that person from high school.

also nancy’s line about not being an actor and not respecting the profession while thinking she’d be great at it sent me. because like. can you imagine being on a film set FULL of actors, including yourself, and having to say that completely deadpan. i honestly don’t know how tricia didn’t lose it entirely.

In the far future the computer Catholics will preach in English even though it's a dead language by then because that's what early code was written in

Please don't stop helping us or talking about us. At least any donation makes a difference in our lives. A donation helps us fight famine.

possibly my favourite thing about the rotpl finale is getting confirmation that lydia already knew she was gay. cynthia was going through such a time, and we finally know that lydia was actively protecting herself and in control of the whole situation. the rehearsal kisses? she instigated that with the knowledge that it wasn’t two straight girls, because she clocked cynthia from the get-go and still offered to kiss her for the play, because it was no commitment. she couldn’t be abandoned because the play already had a strict deadline. when cynthia ran away after the pre-play kiss, and avoided her at the dance, she knew she’d gone too far, and that she’d have to pull away and not talk to cynthia so that she could maintain the boundaries that would protect her from heartbreak again. the whole situation gains a whole extra layer because while cynthia might not have had the words to express who she was, lydia did, and the words were deviant and invert and sick, so of course the poor girl, this seventeen (maybe sixteen?) year old girl knew that the world wasn’t safe for her. despite all this, cynthia pulled it back. everywhere lydia hid behind behind femininity and long hair and theatricality, cynthia stuck out like a sore thumb, short haired and feisty and so butch without even knowing what it was, that overtness represented that hope, that the bit of lydia that was hiding could be a little freer. the glances that we see when the teacher suggests more rehearsals can turn into the active looking for each other that we see in the finale because that’s where the balance is, and it shows lydia that cynthia will never deny her. she will see her in public, around her friends, and will say she loves her to nancy, and that is what lydia needs. she spends so much time acting as these characters that she is virtually never herself, and in the hall of mirrors, surrounded by her own reflection, she gets to see that being who she is, a young lesbian in love, might be worth it. that the girl in the mirror, kissing cynthia, can exist and be happy.

trans and intersex people in my phone, please tell me about the little pleasures of your life right now. anything from something sweet your partner did to a delicious snack to seeing a cool bug. humans tend to be good at remembering the bad and bad at remembering the good so we need to put effort into making the happy moments feel as real as the sad ones.
