something I’ve been thinking for a while:
I prefer when films approach radical concepts in mundane ways. I don’t really understand why a film has to tell you its politics and explain concepts in detail. it’s easier to reach people by just showing them a situation.
Thank you @ElectricLit for publishing my first graphic narrative in The Commuter! I was deeply sad for a lot of 2024 and drawing myself as a green onion helped tremendously. I hope this comic helps those of you mourning some part of yourselves, too. Link in thread.

there's a serious education crisis for K-12 and nobody is talking about it. the kids are not okay. the r/teachers subreddit makes me sick to my stomach. These are only focused on academics as well. The behavioral issues are beyond.

the way that yall talk about other people’s romantic lives is really strange to me. like I get making swirl jokes but beyond that… what’s the purpose

tbh if the New York Times decided they couldn’t print pictures of me because I was so hot that it would drive people to communism then I would consider that the highest possible compliment

People love to argue X versus the other place but the truth is that all of social media has gotten boring, swinging between poisonous and anodyne

tonight's full moon may have us thinking more about money... trying to figure out how we can make more, make the same and work less, make money doing something we love, save, pay something off… a powerful time to let go of the lack mindsets... might even have a breakthrough...

many things could have prevented this moment in history, but the one I think about the most is just… taxing the wealthy, criminalizing big mergers, prosecuting big business, caring just a fraction about the environment… the wealthy and the government’s refusal to take them on

Pier Paolo Pasolini, interviewed in 1969 about his film Teorema, Theorem
“It’s often said that an author writes or makes films for himself, but that’s a lie. I’m talking to someone like me.”
