someone thought it would be a good idea to produce a BL about a 26 yr old man pretending to be a 16 yr old boy to pursue another 16 yr old boy....

Happy Snooze Tumblr Live Day

[daisiesonafield-blog]

Hello, Daisy! May I ask why is the whole Olivia documentary thing a bad thing? It’s possible that I have missed something regarding an article but doesn’t it mean that she finally has a job? I saw a mention of it a couple of hours ago but ignored it, but it seems like there is something more to it. I’d appreciate your help, thank you in advance.

Hi dear,

I mean....I just want her to totally disappear that's why. But in a way it will be best if she's busy and not being Harry's literal shadow. However, the fact that it's an alleged documentary about a music venue makes my blood boil, bc you just know she's doing this to prolong her welcome in Harry's world and further associate herself with him.

I just can't stand her, she is the ultimate leech.

An anon did mention the guy who owns that production company is her "friend", so I bet she went begging him to let her do something with them.

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE

This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.

Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

NOOOOOOOO ARE U KIDDING ME NOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO WE DON'T WANT IT NO NOOOO

Olivia Wilde is in talks to make her feature documentary directorial debut with the nonfiction studio��XTR.

The doc will chronicle the storied, star-filled history of one of the world’s most iconic 1970s music venues. The under-wraps project has been in development for about a year, and more details are coming soon.

“Olivia and I met around 15 years ago and worked together in Haiti after the [2010] earthquake,” says XTR founder and CEO Bryn Mooser. “I started making films there, and she would always help out with them.  I’ve been encouraging her to direct this doc for a long time.” Wilde helmed the 2011 comedy short “Free Hugs,” which Mooser produced, and she exec produced several short docs that he directed or produced since 2010’s “Sun City Picture House,” including 2015’s “Body Team 12,” which earned both of them News and Documentary Emmys.

The doc feature is just the latest in a string of high-profile works from XTR, which has produced, financed and distributed more than 80 projects since Mooser founded the studio in 2019. The studio is now involved in making some 25 others. In the last year alone, they’ve produced or exec produced MTV Documentary Films’ Oscar-nominated “Ascension,” the HBO Max series “Menudo: Forever Young,” MUBI’s “Free Chol Soo Lee” and National Geographic Documentary Films’ “The Territory,” along with premiering seven films at Sundance and six at Tribeca. It was also a producer on Apple TV Plus’ Magic Johnson docu series “They Call Me Magic,” which was sold in a low eight-figure deal according to a source close to the production.

In July, XTR opened a $10 million, 35,000-square-foot studio and headquarters in Los Angeles’ Echo Park neighborhood, featuring a soundstage, recording studio and production and post-production facilities for their own films and outside projects. “It’s a versatile space for filming interviews and re-creations,” Mooser says. “For us, this studio campus is a total dream, especially the ability to bring people together and create under one roof.”  The offices house some 50 employees, including head of film Kathryn Everett and head of development Justin Lacob.

Though XTR has backed doc features and series that have appeared on Netflix, National Geographic, Hulu, MSNBC, CNN, MTV and other outlets, one of its greatest assets is running the nonfiction streaming platform Documentary + (co-founded by Everett and Lacob), which is available on demand and existing free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel platforms. The company says DOC+ is available in over 85 million U.S. households and has experienced a 2000% jump in viewership since 2021. 

“This type of studio never really existed in documentary before. Having established ourselves on the majority of FAST platforms, it’s becoming more important than we even had imagined, especially against a backdrop of corporate consolidation in the industry,” Mooser says. “With such an uncertain landscape, it’s great to have a home like this for documentaries.”
