honestly, even if you have to remind a man - let alone explain or debate him! - that there are risks and costs for women with sex and intimacy, he's too far behind
this was not the october of my dreams lmao everything was so hard and tiring and sad even tho it’s been sooooooo nice out and I had so much stuff I wanted to do instead of this fuckshit
some halloweens are slutty and some are eerie this ones the latter, the energy is very weird in the city
I just had to chug a beer to quell the repulsion. The Substance. and not cause I don’t like that type of gore, which I don’t but was well done, but because the story was ludicrous. I can forgive a lot w sci-fi/fantasy if the storytelling and purpose is good, but it was so bad
tonight’s questionable recent horror movie was so bad. one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life
I am far from perfect but I manage the strain of this by not letting it bother me and being unbothered about calling people out, really casually, like if you’re talking to an harmless and well meaning alien w amnesia, just constant ‘oh hey here’s how we do stuff in society :)’
not enough people talk about the burnout that comes from constantly dealing with unhealed adults. always being the bigger person. always managing their triggers while suppressing your own. always explaining basic respect and accountability to people stuck in survival mode. that kind of exhaustion is soul tiring. protect your peace before you lose yourself carrying what other people refuse to heal within themselves.
last night's recent horror movie I was hesitant about: BUGONIA. I should have known not to be worried! I love yorgos, deep dark evil parts of humanity understander, brave honest depictor, excellent filmmaker. 10/10. funny, horrifying, brilliant performance by jesse plemons
this week I have so much less to do than last week, what a relief! gonna make the candy bar from the emp cookbook (biscuit, caramel, pb fuilletine, pb ganache, chocolate coating very quick and easy to make a whole sheet tray of them if you do your mise en place)
party menu: gougeres, radicchio grapefruit poppyseed ginger salad, pumpkin soup heavy on the vinegar, duck ragu, charred brussels w fish sauce vin. apple sorbet, candy bar. makku, kings county single malt, aaron burr cider
idk why I’ve been seeing so much horrifying more shit on here this week about dating, sex, infidelity, money… it’s so scary! I’m so lucky and grateful to be so loved and taken care of that I don’t have to entertain any of that nonsense.
