Dick Van Dyke or Michael Landon…which gentleman tempts you to buy a Kodak the most?

Tag 10 people you’d like to get to know better — thanks to @warm-pleatherette for tagging me 🩷💜

Last song: Swamp Pussy by Babes in Toyland. I’ve gotten obsessed with their music this year — I can’t believe it took me so long, considering I’ve been a fan of Hole for years and they’re always compared to each other. Babes’ first two albums are all-timers.

Last book: I just finished Tattoos on the Heart by Father Greg Boyle. That was one of the best books I’ve read in awhile — it’s about his work in creating and facilitating a non-profit, Homeboy Industries, that provides former LA gang members with jobs. It was so compassionate, heavy, and funny at parts too. I’m currently reading Challenger by Adam Higginbotham, about the 1986 space shuttle disaster, and it’s excellent. Also slowly reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and Sylvia Plath’s journals.

Favorite color: I like green of almost any shade! I’m becoming more partial to purple the older I get, though, in a Whimsigoth way. But I really like all colors 🌈

Last movie: My girlfriend and I watched Sing last night bc we wanted to have a dumb kids movie on but we actually really enjoyed it?? I didn’t think that animals singing pop covers would do a thing for me but it was really good!

Spicy/sweet/savory: Savory is my favorite, followed by spicy, then sweet. Not that I don’t enjoy sweets, especially ice cream! But I don’t crave them as much as I crave things like pasta, burritos, or fried rice. As for spicy, I’m a big fan of hot sauces — Louisiana Hot Sauce is my favorite 😋

Last show: The last show I watched all the way through was GLOW, and I’m about to rewatch it, this time with my girlfriend! I loved it but binged it so fast that I know I’ve already forgotten parts of it. It’s actually the reason why I’m reading the book about the Challenger disaster, since that a plot point of one of the episodes!

Current obsession/s: The Great Blue Heron has been occupying a lot of space in my heart lately. I saw one while I was swimming a couple weeks okay and watched it catch fish! They’re my favorite bird 🩵

Last search up: “1960s siamese cat” bc those pictures are so special

Tagging @cucumbercastle @pinup-hippie @boguskudos @the44magnumisamonster @s0r3wach1gauy0 @tumbling-tumbleweeeds @search4god @marianmcalpin @eddiecranes and @itssquash only if you guys want to play!

rereading the edible woman and somehow marian and duncan are even more insane about each other then i remember them being

I reread it every year or two and every time I’m like “damn I did NOT notice 80% of how crazy these people are”. Never gets old!

its crazy when i like a female character and i think well she’s clearly flawed but at least she’s interesting :) and then i make the fatal mistake of witnessing other people’s opinions on the subject and find out that the consensus amongst fans is that she’s an irredeemable demon bitch from hell

me: Privilege is multidimensional. That means it's entirely possible for someone to be privileged along one axis of oppression while being oppressed along another.

tumblr user: Okay.

me: For example, a Black man is oppressed for being Black, but still privileged for being a man.

tumblr user: Makes sense.

me: Such contradictions are not only perfectly natural, they are baked into the very definition of privilege. I cannot stress enough the fact that this is the case.

tumblr user: Yeah, I got that.

me: Americans have privilege.

tumblr user: That doesn't make sense what about American of color and LGBT Americans and homeless Americans and disabled Americans and--

Please send love/prayers/good vibrations to my kitty cat, Scooter. Poor thing has been so constipated that he got two enemas in 12 hours! X-Ray and bloodwork both came back fine. He’s finally eating a little bit again, and is taking a nap right now. He’s the sweetest boy and he deserves to feel all better soon 🩷

it’s so crazy how many mid movies r made every year that u wouldve never learned abt if ur mutual didnt want to fuck an actor that plays in them

all animals have a place in the ecosystem and that includes humans and im sick of encountering edgelords who say the earth would be better off if we were wiped out. you wanna mess things up for every species that has adapted to live alongside us? as far as i can tell our existance is pretty intertwined with the world we live in, and caring about animals should include caring about humans because we're also animals. so we should probably focus on doing good with the resources we have instead of fantasizing about a big nuclear reset button. you sound like a pokémon villain.

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

Notes from Betty Lanigan of NBC press department on her first impressions of the newly cast Monkees. Clearly not a Micky girl.

Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
