Mishtygirlcat - Girl Cat

On the second viewing, I realized that House of Usher is also a story about how Boomers made a deal with the devil - an easy life with the consequences to be paid by future generations. Gen X got to reap the most benefits from this deal - got to live longer and get more established and see where they were supposed to be able to get before they got cut off at the knees. Millennials got less - struggling to establish themselves in careers when the world is falling apart, ending up in weird digital jobs like streaming video games or throwing parties, retreating into nihilistic hedonism to deal with it. And Gen Z - poor Gen Z may not even get started, so many of them struck down before they can even really live by war and climate change and gun violence and disease. They're young enough and innocent enough to see what's wrong with the world but not powerful enough to fix it. And then the Boomers sit back and complain about how it's everyone else's fault - that they're all greedy and lazy and the cause of their own destruction - and refuse to hand over power when they should, choosing instead to collapse the entire house around them in their senility.

Now that the first episode of the season is out, I can finally comment on how hilariously intense the meeting of the Upper Moons was. 

Like, we really watched (I, even paid money to see in the cinema) the equivalent of Akaza just taking the elevator to the office, pass by the recepcionist, get greeted by the one coworker he can’t fucking stand, get chewed up by the boss like every Monday and having to insist to his bitchass coworker that he’d rather die than go ‘hang out’ after work.

We really saw that but with an animation budget that’s off the charts. 

"Anything is fine as long as it's legal" is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.

Just read this in Jane Eyre:

Breakfast was over and none had breakfasted.

The modern equivalent of 'Christmas isn't Christmasing this year.'

I be deciding what songs I'm gonna listen and then nothing happens

Worst thing ever in the whole world is when a thunderstorm is forecasted and then it doesn’t storm. literally so rude I was excited for this all day.

it’s been said before and it will be said again but i’m begging you all nicely to restrain yourselves from being so casually aggressive and rude and obnoxious in the tags & reblogs of a complete stranger’s posts. no one wants to know that you hate [tv show that op giffed]. no one wants to know that you hate [character that op drew]. no one wants to hear you being ugly and negative for no reason. say what you want to say in your own post. don’t hit the reblog button. blacklist relevant tags. unfollow or block relevant accounts. log out. shut down. get help.

One of my favorite moments while reading Emma is when Mr. John Knightley is absolutely flabbergasted that Mr. Weston would rather attend a party with several people than sit at home near a fire.

You and me both Mr. Knightley

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment
