My friend: "hey, I was listening to a podcast and they just referenced a 1994 movie called The Hudsucker Proxy. Have you heard of it? Is it any good?" Me:

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a beetle is on the phone in his house. He says, “hey man— for the party tonight… don’t bring any poop.” Panel 2: on the other end of the call is a dung beetle. He responds, “really? You sure?” Panel 3: shrugging towards another dung beetle, the first dung beetle says, “he says they’re good on poop.” Somewhat incredulous, the second dung beetle says, “I just rolled it!” He is leaning against a mostly out of frame huge ball of poop.

Don’t get too drunk.
Don’t drink from an open cup.
Don’t show too much skin.
Don’t make them think you’re asking for it.
Carry pepper spray.
Don’t take the shortcut.
Don’t walk alone.
Text when you leave.
Text when you get there.
Text when you get home.
And if something happens:
What were you wearing?
How much did you drink?
W by were you alone?
He’s a good kid.
He made a mistake.
He has his whole life ahead of him.
One more chance.
And somehow her whole life was spent trying to prevent it,
while his was too important to be changed by it.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

A bunny in a blue dress brings an acorn to a small grey squirrel, who she is meeting in a clearing in the woods. The squirrel is dressed more rustically, accepts the gift gladly.

Man, 00s fun/creative dvd menus were just the best. I love little things like this so much. (This is a 15th anniversary edition disc so that would have been 2003-2004. Also the box has a full-page colour poster/flyer with a coupon for one free admission to Alien vs Predator. 😂)

HAAAAA the first scene's title spells it out for the people in the back. 🤣👏 Amazing.
Scene selection for the film Predator, with scene 01 (Dutch speaking with Dillon and the brass to take the job) titled "The Invaders".

I went off on a tangent the other day ranting to my friend about the weird cultural discourse misrepresentations of 80s action movies so obvs I and to start ranting about Predator, and I found myself concluding that it actually is the greatest, most decade-encapsulating action movie of that decade.

Today I saw a little bee covering its head with pollen because I guess its lil leg pollen saddlebags were full? Adorable. They'll be hibernating or whatever it is bees do when it's freezing pretty soon.

An interesting phenomenon I've seen is men who will 100% risk friendships to argue about sports or movies but when it comes to dignity & safety of women & children will suddenly lose their voice. The skillset is there, but not being utilized for anything of value.

I watched Over the Garden Wall for the first time last year and I can confirm that it's an instant classic seasonal staple. It's just that good. I've been actively looking forward to this year's viewing.

Thinking a lot lately about the men I know who are willfully ignorant about power dynamics and how I don’t *know* they’ve done anything specifically worse than be willfully ignorant about power dynamics but also if I had to guess which of my acquaintances had, I’d guess them first.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I'm really disappointed to see how many men in my follows are going "I, a man, can't possibly do anything about misogyny". No, change won't be fast or instant, and it might not even happen during any of your interactions with the man you told "do better. BE better" and you may never see it.

I think this might be my favorite photo in my collection. It's the one I picture being on the cover of a book if I ever make one someday. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. ❤️ No date/info.

Finally watched Seven Days In May to clear it off my DVR. I was expecting it to be a chore because I find Frankenheimer's pacing generally terrible and The Manchurian Candidate and its cartoonishly awfully written, directed, and acted Red Scare propaganda is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

And one more thing: If you're one of the men doing this, you are not a feminist ally. You are not an ally to women. Washing your hands of or refusing to join a fight because it's inconvenient and you don't feel like it is literally the opposite of being allied. That's your truth to reckon with.

Photo of three small paintings laid out together on a wood desk with the detail brush used to paint them. The left most painting is of a belted kingfisher perched on a dead tree branch against a misty blue-gray background; the middle painting is of a least bittern gripping a plant stem and looking upwards against a golden background; the right most painting is of two great egrets in breeding plumage standing the top of a tree against a stormy looking background.

I haven't watched Reacher since my friend who confided in me how upset she was that she wouldn't live to see the next season died (she died between S2 and S3), but then I read stuff like this about the current season and I go "you know what, she'd be even madder if she knew I wasn't watching this".
Reddit post about Reacher with the username redacted that reads "I enjoying him (sic) bench pressing a man to death in the latest season."
