I've said this myriad times before, but we need a new, good film on Ida B. Wells. In addition to the fact that her story is so interesting, I need a break from the long monotony of white journalists centered in film.

you know what? don’t pmo, ok?

y’all. is Octavia Spencer a good actress or nah?

I have to hope and I have to believe that, someday, we will stop believing that pivoting to video will save media. we don’t *have* to be a visual-first society. and we shouldn’t be.

all the oppas and ahjussis… and baby dolls. get on the floor.

ten years in and i’ve never really found my true kdramas tribe so I never have anyone to geek out with over my crushes. that being said: so ji sub still fine. 🔥

chloe sevigny looks so good in "five-star weekend." also: she's giving one of the better performances (maybe *the* best? but i'm only on episode two.) i can tell you who's not giving a very good performance in this and that's jennifer garner. 🥴

our long national nightmare is really over now that joe camel is back to rockin’ a Caesar. it was like… nine years.

one… “upside?” (🥴🥴🥴)… to my nana’s dementia is that we can watch the same films again and again like they’re the first time.
