Usually, I try to watch the new drag race episode on my laptop (because I have Adblock) but I don’t want to wait until after work, so I’m watching on my phone. And EVERY. SINGLE. AD. is for weight loss drugs and fitness programs.

"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world

so now the dilemma. among many many reasons i put off seriously looking at moving out of the country was the hassle of moving a cat. now i'm not going to get another cat probably for at least a few months, but i wonder if i shouldn't get one at all until i've officially picked a country.

my cat died.

like, literally less than an hour ago.

yesterday afternoon he was acting funny, based on his symptoms, all the veterinarian sites we read said to give it 48 hours, so my mom was going to take him in the morning.

we heard a weird noise and found him completely limp in the hallway.

he was only 9.

the weirdly vengeful and petty tones aborted babies take in pro-life propaganda images are so funny like this passive aggressive "was it worth it mommy?" and "it's a shame you can't join me in heaven mommy 😔" like do you ever wonder if you were aborted for a reason you little bitch ass baby

is anyone else feeling stuck and waiting for something that will never come in order to start living or is it just me?

many of my sexual fantasies and kinks boil down to ‘someone being really attracted to me and me not having to ask for affection, just be given it.” which could mean nothing.

having a bad time right now, i probably shouldn't be playing this game, but i'm doing the 'i'm gonna let them talk first' game. and one of my friends hasn't responded with words for a full week now. on monday they reacted to a meme, but...

idk i feel like i'm doing so badly and i *do* tell people to talk to me and check on me, so it's not like i'm staying silent. but at best they just don't say anything or at worst they come to me with their own shit and i have to be the strong one. and i'm always the one initiating, always the one taking care and never being taken care of

I see posts go by periodically about how modern audiences are impatient or unwilling to trust the creator. And I agree that that's true. What the posts almost never mention, though, is that this didn't happen in a vacuum. Audiences have had their patience and trust beaten out of them by the popular media of the past few decades.

J J Abrams is famous for making stories that raise questions he never figures out how to answer. He's also the guy with some weird story about a present he never opened and how that's better than presents you open--failing to see that there's a difference between choosing not to open a present and being forbidden from opening one.

You've got lengthy media franchises where installments undo character development or satisfying resolutions from previous installments. Worse, there are media franchises with "trilogies" that are weird slap fights between the makers of each installment.

You've got wildly popular TV shows that end so poorly and unsatisfyingly that no one speaks of them again.

On top of that, a lot of the media actively punishes people for engaging thoughtfully with it. Creators panic and change their stories if the audience properly reacts to foreshadowing. Emotional parts of storytelling are trampled by jokes. Shocking the audience has become the go to, rather than providing a solid story.

Of course audiences have gotten cynical and untrusting! Of course they're unwilling to form their own expectations of what's coming! Of course they make the worst assumptions based on what's in front of them! The media they've been consuming has trained them well.
