Wearing men’s deodorant and watching the straight girls I work with faces’ become Confused and Attracted because I smell like a Hot Guy™ (their words) is a bisexual power move and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Plus, for the first couple of days you also feel constantly Confused and Attracted and where is the Hot Guy™? And then you realize that the Hot Guy™ was you all along.
thinking about how young girls in particular use the word ‘like’ a lot as like a stylistic affect or for emphasis and we do it on purpose bc we’re fun and men feel the need to be like by the way you just said like 6 times. like they assume we don’t know what we’re doing meanwhile we’re having fun and bending language to our will
people laughing and not trying to understand why she’s so upset… it must be nice, being so unaffected by sexual assault. the rest of us can feel her hurt and anger because every one of us has been there or has loved someone who’s been there and this is serious for us
Anybody ever 100% awake and suddenly have that feeling of falling you get when you’re just starting to nod off? Yeah, fuck that.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately but Black people millennial are some of the most wildly talented and skilled ppl on the planet and we are still unemployed
Because we went to school in massive numbers because culturally this was drilled into us from infancy. To be better than it parents to capitalize on the resources and opportunities they didn’t have. And we did we have all the skills and accomplishments in the world we really did make our ancestors proud we didn’t have to go THAT hard
Yet racial bias keeps us out of the the industries we fought so hard be get the nessesary skills to enter. And honestly that alone can create depression and endure anxiety like the intersection of racism class and professions is crazy
I’ve just been thinking about my own personal experience with this and I can definitely say this is the case with me.
“Did I not get that job because of my skill level or because I’m black”
Like on paper we are perfect candidates for these entry level positions in our chosen career fields but that black skin makes everything dull in the eyes of white professionals. It’s also hard a jarring experience to know that on paper you are a diamond and in person when they see its attached to black skin your back to just being coal. And this along with the current state of our social wrecks havoc on our mental health.
REVIEWS FOR VENOM JUST CAME IN AND IT’S A 28% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES!!!!!! THIS MOVIES GONNA BE SO FUCKIN FUNNY IM SO EXCITED. GOD I LOVE TERRIBLE SPIDERMAN MOVIES
“If you replaced Tom Hardy for Steve Martin in “All of Me,” and switched out Lily Tomlin for a wad of chewed-up black licorice, you’d have “Venom.”“
“When a major fight scene resembles a pair of black pants caught in a white wash, it’s fair to say you haven’t taken the audience with you.”
“It’s a train wreck of a movie, mixing and matching wildly dissonant tones, bizarre plot contrivances, and a truly unique lead performance.”
“Tom Hardy seems to be trying to be the first actor to win an Oscar and a Razzie for the same performance.”
“A film that feels like what you’d expect from a below average superhero flick circa 2004, like Ghost Rider or Fantastic Four.”
^ some of my fave critic review excerpts. i have never been more excited
some more
“The movie is so ridiculous that many viewers will at least be entertained in a dumbfounded way.”
“Think Affleck Daredevil. Think Ang Lee Hulk. Think Halle Berry Catwoman. That’s… I mean, that’s really all there is to be said, I think.”
“This is a movie that somehow slipped through a wormhole from 2004. That’s my biggest take. It’s a movie that spilled from the pre-MCU era through a crack in time and space… The humor, the story beats, everything right down to the Eminem theme song feels like it emerged Kimmy Schmidt style from a sealed off early ‘00s bunker.”
“Sorry to say that Venom is pretty much a complete failure — a tonal mess that feels 15 years old, ignoring the storytelling strides that the superhero genre has made in recent years.”
“Not sure I had the intended reactions to some scenes, but fun is fun — even when it’s totally ridiculous, right? It’s too bad they didn’t go for the R rating, though.”
“The cast seems to all know they’re in a darker superhero movie, except Tom Hardy who is basically remaking Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar.”
