Clearing my drafts bc over the past year I felt a twinge of the chance to offer folks an out or a grace period, so to speak, to get themselves together, but after due consideration I shouldn’t have to hunt, scroll, check and follow up to see if someone un-racists themselves tbh. I may go back and see if they redeemed themselves when addressed and if I see they did, I’ll qrb my own post and say as such, but I’m not a detective. As such, I’ll also not go back to see how active someone is or isn’t anymore.

If I see the thing happened at any point, I’m posting it which will explain the flurry of posts suddenly this morning that were released from my drafts and a potential barrage of posts I may make later. That includes things from over years that I’ll transfer from my notepad, bc originally I started keeping the screencaps and names there & once I started posting here, I paused posting old ones in favor of the most recent transgressions as they happened. Maybe the writers acct is still up, maybe it isn’t; dc. I’m keeping the names on my notepad with a note but all pic evidence will go here with their @ as well bc i don’t see why I should have it taking space on my phone 🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe the screen-cap is 3 years old, maybe they don’t even have tumblr anymore, iDC. Maybe I’ll use queue, maybe I won’t.

☼༄I always keep track of changed usernames or extra accts of that person that may pop up in my reading while perusing the tags & they note it in their bio or w/e in my phone too so there’s a paper trail (so to speak) so obviously I’ll be adding that lol

Daily Log 2

Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.

Activities: Much less than yesterday, felt sick and sleepy so barely got anything done. It was also warmer inside today.. Very much dreading summer. I still feel like the people who ~~ love warm weather sooo much~~ must also have central heating and air and are able to escape the warmth, or at least have cool airy houses where they can get cross breezes or something.. I just fail to see how ANYONE could enjoy sweating all day because it's like 75F indoors, etc. grrbb,,, the headaches, sleepless sweaty nights, constant physical discomfort, etc. The next few days look cloudy and rainy though so.. yEs.. haha HA

Got a new charger for my old 2004 nokia phone so it actually turns on now, and recorded myself going through the ringtones and games. I might add the footage to a currently not fully edited video of me also looking through other electronics (old phones, turbo twist math, etc.). I love old ringtones actually and if I were rich, I would love to collect old phones specifically just to have a catalogue of what they're like and all of the sounds they contain.

Managed to have a tiny burst of energy and take photos of 3 outfits before my arms and shoulder started hurting and I got too warm.

Sent email to one doctor.

Translated like 3 words for the Avirrekava poem thing I mentioned yesterday. My language document is not organized very well at all so I've kind of lost my flow of working on it. I've heard about people making searchable dictionary type things for their conlangs, so I'd like to look more into that maybe. As well as making a custom font, though I don't know if that's more difficult for syllabaries (so wouldn't be directly linkable to a plain english alphabet keyboard?? eh?). Anyway, I need to finish the tapestry/painting thing/etc. soon though since I have no good place to put it. The canvas is warping a little just laying haphazardly on my closet floor lol.

Made one quick mspaint background image for the next batch of song snippet things for my jokey music youtube.

Edited like 10 minutes of the Giant Worldbuilding Slideshow Project.. couldn't focus on that either since being at the computer today irritated my shoulders and arms.

Notable sights: Saw 6 baby ducks and their parents swimming in a nearby pond!! It's interesting how their colors seem to change so much, and the young ones have the little spots on their back. Not much else, I was not very active lol..

Goals moving forward: Still working on consistent sleep schedule. Focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Plant nasturtiums. Finish and upload videos, edit pictures, post the poll adventure thing that has been sitting in a draft for weeks (I thought I would get it done today, but alas.. I don't even have to do much, just proofread and post it, I just keep having no energy/being preoccupied with other things/hurts to be on computer.. grrr.. I want to continue the story lol >:T).

Notable foods: HAD ASPARAGUS YEaaaaaghhhHHHH!!!!!!!!! Asparagus SQUAD!!!!!!!!!! ... Also a few pieces of smoked gouda with lunch, one of my favorite cheeses.

Just doing a welfare check. How’s everyone doing?

Still coping?

I am trying to make myself clean the stuff I gotta clean even though I want to 1. write a long business-y post about the decision which may or may not come off as positive, depending on how you look at it and 2.write that “From the Desk” fic I have notes for, even if it’s not the best. Both just for old time’s sake and not because I think people are super interested.

So we’ll see if I finish enough in time to get to do that this weekend.

What is Film Criticism?

Originally posted February 5th, 2014

In my plans to start this blog, I debated for a while whether or not to start with an introduction to myself and what I will be discussing, or an entry analyzing films from The Disney Renaissance. After a short amount of debate, I have decided that I will begin by introducing myself, my thoughts on film criticism, and what this blog will cover.

To start, I will answer the title question of this post. Film criticism is the objective analysis, critique, and study of all film, from the silent films of D.W. Griffith, to the modern CGI spectacles of today. However, despite the range of film criticisms applications, it is often seen as highly pretentious. Much of this is due to the fact that film criticism is often a highly academic study, and it is often inaccessible to those not steeped in a deep knowledge of film history. There are many exceptions to this; websites such as Cracked and A.V. Club both offer critical looks at popular films in a simplistic manner, but Cracked only delves into the surface of film, and A.V. Club, while more accessible reading than film theorists, still retains an air of pretension.

The purpose of this blog then, is to provide a deep analysis of popular film without diving into the realm of pretension. My aim is to provide a clear and thorough analysis of films whilst retaining the accessibility of a good teacher. While I may occasionally dive into the realm of pretension (as I am very want to do), I do hope to remain both accessible and relevant to the discussion of film in popular culture today. As for how I plan to go about this, I intend to draw on the theories of classical film theorists like Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Pudovkin in order to show how popular films take a series of images and use them to create specific emotions. The specific applications of these theories of course will become clearer in future entries. I plan to publish an entry in this blog once every two weeks, and each entry will include a number of images, videos, and relevant quotes from the director, screenwriter, and film theorists.

Now onto the simple part of the entry: who I am. My name is [Jacqueline Merritt], and I am currently studying film at a liberal arts university. I am also an amateur film director, having started making movies when I was ten years old. My first ever film was a Star Wars fan film (which spawned two sequels, also made by me), and I am currently in the process of rewriting it for future production (it actually had a fairly solid story). My favorite film director is Quentin Tarantino, and my favorite screenwriter is Aaron Sorkin. My favorite film then, logically, would be a Tarantino film written by Aaron Sorkin, but no such film exists (or will likely ever exist). My favorite film in fact, has nothing to do with either men, as it is Scarface, which was directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone. However, the film that I consider to be the best film I’ve ever seen No Country For Old Men, by The Coen Brothers. As for how I make the distinction between the best film I’ve ever seen and my favorite film, that is something I shall discuss in a future entry. In addition to my favorite director, I also consider Stanley Kubrick to be the best film director, which is a distinction I shall also discuss in a future entry.

My next entry will not cover either of those topics however. As I mentioned earlier, the first analysis entry of this blog will be entirely dedicated to analyzing the films of The Disney Renaissance, and discussing how what they attempted to do with animated musicals was ultimately outdone and overshadowed by Dreamworks Animation in their film, The Prince of Egypt.

I know i’m functionally a gay DARE officer at this point but I do in fact feel some sort of way about Cocaine being back in vogue. Surely I sound like a square + narc and I’ll concede ok do whatever you want, nobody can materially stop another person from using drugs if they really want to 🤷🏻 I don’t really care that it’s hip to do party drugs, moreso I want to articulate a general level of caution and concern that I never see a sidecar of harm reduction and safe using practices along with the commonplace clips of people straight up snorting coke I’ve seen for “brat summer!!!1!!”

You 🫵 are not immune to ingesting fentanyl or any number of other additives. Do you think drugs at the gay club are different than the drugs people are taking under bridges and in gutters? I promise they’re not! So if you want to use drugs and continue being alive, do your part to be safe. Protecting yourself protects others and your community.

Do not accept drugs from strangers. Test your drugs with fentanyl test strips. Carry narcan and know how to administer it. Never use alone. Have an exit strategy if you’re using drugs in a public space. Know the contact information for your local harm reduction groups, overdose emergency hotline, and if you need/want it, addiction treatment orgs. This is all the bare minimum for community care if you intend to be out in the world using drugs. Mainly I encourage you all to be buzzkills if it means you don’t have to die of an accidental overdose. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 40. I have a whole lot of social workers in my network and however bad you think the synthetic opioid crisis is, it’s worse. The war stories I’ve heard from my people on the ground are… The shit of nightmares. Don’t let it be you or anybody you love.

If you live in the state of Georgia, DM me for a longer list of resources.

Long shot, but does anyone know about/have access to a The Social Network press tour timeline? Haven’t been able to find one so far, which is rather surprising
