Sometimes you need to read something twice to get it. You might need to watch a movie three times to understand it. You might have to have that album on repeat for a week until the lyrics make any sense. You're allowed to engage with it and can keep engaging with it until it means something to you. People will see a painting at a museum and laugh about not getting what the big deal is but like you can come back, you can see it at another time, and maybe that next time it'll be different for you. I'm of the belief the "media literacy crisis" would solve itself if more people just sat down and did it again. Watched, read, played, listened, etc like I don't think people are getting more ignorant necessarily I just think we're not glorifying personally replaying things nearly as much as we should be.

"#Consumer has been the worst word to describe people in years because consumption has a sense of finality#Like I get it its for corporate reasons but self identification as a consumer should only be left for when you report to the BBB#Be a patron or enthusiast or a fan or connesuier or lover or appreciator or customer literally anything#Something to indicate your purpose in the transactional nature of the process goes beyond mindless cattle behavior"
