Propaganda I’m falling for:
– Asking a stranger for their Letterboxd before their number
– Making oddly specific lists no one asked for
– Logging a film the second the end credits hit

petrana has been my go-to author regarding many fandom news but especially in disney! i've always been incredibly impressed by her indepth analysis in things that many people would pass over but also how funny she can be
Anyway, I need to go around saving some of my clips and also I would like an ego boost because I frankly feel shitty SO if you have a favorite story of mine, please thread it here so the process of going through and picking some to download isn't so overwhelming/lonely ahaha
I know this says something about the state of games media, but Polygon had a superb entertainment desk too!! We were tiny but mighty and we did some stories that I am super proud of and it's been an honor to work alongside them and apparently i cant tag them all bc im running out of characters but

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

when i say "im just a girl" i don't mean to say it in a "i want to be financially dependent on a man" sense, but moreso that working 9-5 for the next twenty years is scary

why are we always blaming tiktok culture for concerts being sold out more? while i understand the feeling of materialism has increased (in regards to pics & merch), the real problem is the inflation that has been promoted by bots

watching amazing race (aired in 2002) and a (white) guy's reaction to going to thailand is: "my parents always took me to thai restaurants, chinese restaurants, sushi. I know the culture"

ok i get death threats for being a korean woman with an instagram account
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"

omce went to a korean museum and there was a whole exhibit dedicated to these. however, my mom was not extremely impressed considering these are everywhere at home

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG
After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.
Science works, y'all.
