Coward. Loser. Fool.

Snubbing I Saw the TV Glow or even The People’s Joker, both extremely important breakthroughs in trans cinema, for a queerbaiting Disney film is straight up wild.

(His response was basically “oh *I’m* the freak? Here’s what the curvature of your ears says about your brain development!” lol)

Like if the libs want to find some fire, they’re going to need to embrace a real “founding the Third American Republic to fulfill the broken promises of the post-reconstruction second” energy.

That face haunted me for like a week the first time I saw it. I can't even articulate why exactly but somehow it's just so upsetting!

Like hard to see how they have the time or the will to make this happen when the archivist just has to go on a fishing trip over the weekend before it does not matter.

It's always strikingly a boy's idea of being a man. Honestly, here's a take: chud masculinity is a kind of cultural infantilization representing an arrested state of boyhood that can be read in continuity with Disney adults and the YAification of the arts, and maybe springs from similar sources.

Which is to say I think my depression developing into bipolar disorder would fix me.

Depends on the brand and the vibe. American Spirits are dense and take longer than say a Marlboro, which I could rip right through. I was kind of a fast smoker, but I’d usually finish a Spirit in around five to ten minutes, depending on the context. More than that and you’d have to nurse the ember.

Wait like, did the landlord or a tenant know he was there and not tell anyone or was he just like, a man in the locked room of unknown provenance?

I posted this ~80% for the sake of the pun.

Relative easy to do here. Let me know if you want any help/guidance on the process.

Yeah, it’s got a bit of an elder millennial Grey Gardens vibe, kind of a battered, exhausted simulacra of 2010s Twitter, but I’m also finding myself very willing to be put out to pasture here at the moment.

It’s specifically this which makes Dressed in Blue such an immediate expression of cinematic transness for me; there’s such a shock of recognition around those women around the tea table that almost no other cinematic representation of transness has ever given me.

I guess all of that to say, I found Judith Butler’s ugly critiques of Venus to be implicit in the film itself, and also the gaziness and mediated transness of it made me really appreciate what a miracle of a film Dressed in Blue is.

But nevertheless, at a certain point, it develops this fixed gaze on the dolls, while never quite identifying or recognizing them. Others are called in to comment on them. The film almost becomes this unarticulated, not entirely unhostile question: how far can “realness” go and is it ever too far?
comment in response to

I say “without realizing” because the film only obliquely recognizes transness as a distinct expression. The word “transsexual” is used a single time, by Angie framing Venus’ fate. The film does not seem aware of or interested in the use of hormones. It understands itself as a movie about gay men.

Right, like half of what the right been freaking out about for years aren’t even distortions or cherry picking but completely fake problems and insane hallucinations (i.e. litter boxes in classrooms).

I remember early transition, a cis woman friend asking if I was going to get surgery, and in talking with her, it became clear that she meant breast implants. She was genuinely shocked when I said I was going to grow breast on hormones. Like she had absolutely no idea.

I remember being at a Fear Before the March of Flames show in like 2006 where they stopped mid-song to throw a crowd killer out and everyone cheered; now the attitude seems more “don’t go to a show if you don’t want to get hit bitch.”

Anecdotally it also seems like the scene is more troubled by crowd killing and other really antisocial practices that were pretty stringently policed back in the day, at least in the scenes I walked it.

Post-2016, a certain kind of Dem, even if they *maybe* saw MAGA as being more dangerous, viewed the left and its culture as something to be defeated on its own terms. Like I think their relationship with CTH and such was beyond just a reluctance to hold their noses; they saw it as its own erosion.

It’s not a social problem that people don’t want to fuck you babe.

I’ve been thinking about this too. Dozens of small interactions with acquaintances and strangers, little shifts and delusions and obsessions I wrote off as incidental, isolated, or balanced out by other trends I believed were playing out just out of view.
