pink in the night (2019)

lyric comic to pink in the night, by mitski. page 1 text: and i know i've kissed you before, but i didn't do it right. scene 1: a little boy and girl are sitting in the rain. the boy wipes away tears, having tripped and scratched a knee. the girl leans forward to kiss the small wound. scene 2: the two friends are in elementary school, holding hands. the boy looks at a picture depicting a mom, dad, and child.

page 2 text: can i try again, try again, try again. scene 1: high school. they lie on the floor during a study session, but they only have eyes for each other. scene 2: college. the same couple, only now they are two girls, kissing in bed. scene 3: the girls are getting married, exchanging a sweet kiss in a field of flowers. sunset colors cast warm light onto their wedding dresses.

page 3 text: try again, and again, and again. scene 1: the girls are moving in together. one dozes off against an unpacked moving box as the other kisses her head. scene 2: disneyland. both wear minnie mouse ears as they take a selfie, laughing at the kiss mark one has left on her wife's cheek. scene 3: the childhood friends have grown older. one woman hides a bouquet behind her back as they kiss over breakfast.

page 4 text: and again, and again, and again? scene 1: the women wake up in bed together, hints of grey in their hair. one kisses the other's bare shoulder. scene 2: a winter walk. they kiss as their dog plays in the snow. scene 3: the shore of a beach. the wives have greying hair and fine wrinkles, but they're still just as in love. they hold each other close, laughing, full of affection.

Cornell. Didn’t. Refund. Her. Tuition. THEY DIDNT EVEN REFUND HER TUITION. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ONE SINGLE BLIP ABOUT TRUST IN HIGHER EDUCATION UNTIL WE TEAR DOWN THE SYSTEM THAT MADE THIS BOTH POSSIBLE AND A COMMON OCCURRENCE.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

So many Democrats are more eager to throw trans people under the bus than they are to actually win an election. Time and time again, Dems who show they'll stand up for their constituents energize voters, and Dems who can't wait to throw minorities under the bus get shellacked.

Thinking about "plus they'll probably have to deal with Godzilla at some point".

"Tried to watch 'Shin Godzilla" on the plane only to realize by the end of the movie that it actually a drama movie called 'Tears for you'. Words can't describe the feeling of watching an incredibly sad movie while constantly thinking: 'Damn... This is depressing. Plus, they'll probably have to deal with Godzilla at some point too...'"

What follows are four screencaps (presumably from "Tears for You"), showing a smiling woman (subtitled "I really love you."), a distant image from above of axwonsn in a white dress (subtitled"Thank you... for raising me."), a short-haired person weeping, and finally, an apprehensive woman (subtitled "living happily.")

The reason we cannot surrender on "the sports issue" in exchange for other rights is because a surrender there is fundamentally a concession that trans women are not fundamentally women but just "men it is polite to pretend are women", and if we accept that, the rest of the edifice tumbles

i try to brighten my friends’ days by sharing good news whenever i see it, but this now being the third time i’ve seen very positive climate news lately, i’m gonna get a lil mean: climate doomerism is misinformation and spreading it, even just in jest, is antithetical to the values you espouse.

Reality Fracture's story is actually just a masterpiece of lore. As a long term player who has been here for a while, getting to see Jace be the villain, in his own way, is so fun & Allison is simply nailing every beat.

So, uh, I haven't talked about this much here, but my wife has been bedridden and unable to walk or work for like two months now because of combinations of viruses, vertigo, and as of last week Sciatica. That plus four emergency room visits means things are getting real tight here.

Dolly Parton passing away is a really big deal to me. Impossible to fit all of what made her great in a tweet. As a broke, queer kid from Appalachia, she's been someone I've looked up to my whole life. There'll never be anyone like her again.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.
