Saint Augustine? cuz the beard?

The way she says that she won’t let criticism come in because it’s at the expense of her joy.

We have to listen to people who don’t really give a fuck when they tell us that.

I didn’t know about that!!

lol, I can respect that.

I got called bubbly the other day so obviously I’m doing something right. Depression evasion wise.

There are cave like depths of cozy that I require to rejuvenate me. The darkness soothes so that I might better navigate the horrors. And the dark green makes my dusky rose curtains look super soft and fem. Let me have this.

The trashcan is still in my backyard. 😂

Yeah, I think that the motion of the camera was super impactful. The chaos of those scenes made the calm scene where the camera was still feel more profound, like you were rooted in the eye of the storm. You could really catch your breath before that next big scary chaotic moment

The scene with the two brothers fighting in that small room was wild. The camera zoomed around them at Dutch angles while the light in the room spun from a single point. There was so much motion, it felt like the viewers were being volleyed with the camera from perspective to perspective. Intense.

That moment was so well earned too. The fact that it came after the night fell and the heat broke, only to remind us that some pressures don’t subside, the heat was the least of the neighborhood’s problems. The real pressure was social/community pressure

The emotional appeal of this campaign is crucial to its success. It's so unsettling you have to learn more. Whether that convinces people who wouldn't have figured out about the film to go watch it remains to be seen.

Yeah, a big part of this is that FOMO feeling, the bandwagon effect. Everyone great is already doing this and you're missing out if you don't hop on. It's definitely also good at passing on a sense of energy and urgency to athletes, as well as those who admire athletes.

This calls to attention the way that real nuanced news often isn't sexy because it tries to encourage thoughtful consideration of complicated realities. Fake news is almost always designed to get you to react, it triggers your emotions by distorting info into digestible bites of nonsense.

I love this. As much as we "literate" people harp on researching sources and considering biases and all the other other things required to be good citizens of the internet, so often I get on tiktok just to nod along with people saying what I already believe. 🫠 Trying to be better.
