unemployment is being told by almost everyone, regardless of the problem, that all your problems would be solved if you got a job as if a) you hadn't thought of that or b) getting a job is entirely up to you. your leg could break and you hear, "hopefully you'll get a job soon ❤️"

call me tim from camera the way I too would wanna kiss my work crush Dale Jennings so bad despite the tragic homophobic repercussions of the time period in which we exist because life is fleeting and we are only human after all #thenewsreader

In the last year I've truly had to face that there are lots of people for whom a lack of education or awareness isn't why they're bigoted, they just don't care! And there's no amount of raiding awareness or sharing educational resources that could make them care.

ykw...my life may not be what I hoped but at least I'm not Dale Jennings from The Newsreader fumbling Helen Norville (literally Anna Torv) AND Tim "gay Tim from camera" Ahern (theeeeee Chai Hansen) just so I can live in a big empty house with my repressed feelings.

people share that gif from sound of music like some big statement but how many of them have donated to Palestinians' GoFundMes? or know the Indigenous peoples whose land they live on? or even check your mates' anti-Blackness?? It's great you hate Nazis, but do you care about ppl?

reading iwtv book is wild. people thought these guys were gay? okay. sure. I guess individually they are, but also they can't fucking stand each other lmao. it reads more like a "meet my nightmare housemate" situation that ends up as a Netflix true crime limited series.

10 days until The Newsreader season 3 drops and I become the most insufferable person you have the privilege to follow (Dale Jennings' and Helen Norville's divorce lawyer)

people so confident musk didn't do the n*zi salute, but did a ✨secret other thing✨ should just do it then. if you're so sure it wasn't a n*zi salute then do it at your next work function. because it's not a n*zi salute, right? So there's no problem, right?

jk terfling tweeting about neil gaiman's victimisation of women is so ironic, as if her hateful crusade against trans peoples' existence has not victimised trans women across the world - as if she too isn't a powerful public figure weaponising feminist language to harm women.

one thing about me is I'm the first to admit there's a lot of tennis I don't understand. I love watching the women's singles in the #AusOpen because, well, how can I be mentally ill when there are intelligent, outstanding women playing tennis on my tv 18 hours a day??

I started reading Interview With The Vampire for the first time for a project I'm working on about the show and my thoughts thus far are: 1. this is sooooo racist oh my fucking god and 2. the show and film are so cowardly for not making Lestat this weird and off-putting.
