so many creatures putting SO much effort into putting ‘special’ fluids that TOTALLY aren’t water through every organ possible to clean them so they can use them again 2 seconds later. like why not simply sit on a damp substrate and pull water through your body by evaporating the extra out pores in your leaves lmaoooo

“It is fitting that Rude Boy, one of the earliest punk films, should exist in a fraught space somewhere between documentary and fiction. The punk scene it charts and the band at the heart of it were products—with everything that word implies—of the tension between real life and pop spectacle, street fighting and street theatre, revolution and its recuperation into just another set of empty signifiers. “What does it say on that shirt?” asks Ray Gange, the aimless punk fan more or less playing himself in this film, as Joe Strummer rinses out his homemade Red Brigades T-shirt, misspelled as “Brigade Rosse,” in a hotel bathroom. “It’s the name of a pizza restaurant,” Strummer deadpans. He sounds embittered: not the self-described socialist or fiery militant of punk legend but just another ineffectual pop musician, selling lies.”
— Anwen Crawford, Career Opportunities

A world where sexuality was not repressed would not, I think, relegate sexual expression to the alienating shadow-world of porn, the marketised spectacle of dating apps, and the commodified fantasies of celebrity culture. Separated from the free play of eroticism and the polymorphous linkage of desire to the world around you, sexuality understood today is simply a field of advertising.

I hate when someone famous for saying stupid things says something stupid on the internet and then you have to hear ten thousand rebuttals over the next week on a topic that really doesn't merit discussion in the first place
