I love when the horoscope app chides me for a thing that I haven’t struggled with since well before the pandemic started. I’m not being facetious, I like when you can see between the smoke and the mirrors so obviously 🤭
Screencap of the costar day at a glance section for the poster that says the following: “Loving your job is a trap. The myth that you must be passionate about your paycheck keeps you trapped in perpetual disappointment. A job can simply be the thing that funds your actual life. Stop apologizing for treating work like work.”

Picture of Weyoun from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine edited so that his eyes have the Weyland-Yutani logo in his eyes just like the synths from the Alien franchise

I keep throwing absurd franchise wars at @cameronsuey.com and he is still my friend
Message from the poster to Cameron that says: “Ram and Bheem vs Batman vs Alien vs Predator vs Godzilla vs Dracula but SPECIFICALLY the Dracula from Dracula 2000 just to make it extra weird”

Just got this text message from an unknown number as I was contemplating cancelling my plans in favor of staying home. Is this my couch??
Text message from an unknown number that says “shall we spend the afternoon together?” This is a joke post and the poster is fully aware that this is a common scam text strategy.

First day in my 37 years of life that I woke up in the mood to go for a walk
Screencap of the weather widget on the poster’s phone. It’s 59° Fahrenheit in Los Angeles with a flood watch and rain expected for the rest of the day

My toxic trait is liking this post and having my letterboxd look like this

(I’m not a critic tho so I know I get a pass, but still, lol)
Screencap of the poster’s letterboxd profile where the majority of the films they’ve seen are rated 4, 4.5, or 5 stars on a 5 star scale

Ok something that’s driving me bananas on @letterboxd.social is why is the top number uneven? I only started using this account this year where is the extra film coming from 😭
Screencap of the poster’s letterboxd profile where it says 132/131 films watched this year and 174/174 films logged in the diary this year

Hahaha all this is exactly why this is my letterboxd profile. And even then it often lands on a “vibes” distinction
Screencap of the profile for user purpurinastitch on Letterboxd. It says: Producer/writer on Observable Radio. RRR is my favorite movie. I use a very subjective rating scale: 1- hated it 2- didn't like it 3- liked it ok/it was Fine/neutral 4- really liked it 5- loved it

Picture of the curtain at the Chinese Theater IMAX screen with the Predator: Badlands logo projected on it. The poster is holding a crocheted doll of the Predator from the first movie up in the foreground.

Picture of Benjamin Sisko explaining baseball to the wormhole aliens in the pilot episode of Star Trek: deep space nine. The tail of a speech bubble has been edited into the photo to make it seem like he’s saying the words in the quoted post’s image

I’m into it
Screencap of the horoscope app costar “day at a glance” section for the poster that says the following: “Stay feral. You've been shape-shifting to please others until you barely recognize yourself. The growing tension isn't a warning—it's your wild nature fighting to breathe. Those new sharp edges aren't flaws. They're claws.”

Instagram story by the poster that says “super stoked to be at the Chinese theater for Baahubali the Epic!” The background of the image is the Chinese theater ceiling. Layered on top of the background is a photo of the Baahubali banner hung over the Chinese theater facade, and a photo of the screen that has a picture of the titular Baahubali from the film.

Excuse me for posting a recording of my TV and not getting a proper clip, but this part always pops into my mind when I get really pissed off

Picture of the poster’s avatar in animal crossing dressed up like a hot dog saying “we’re all trying to find the guy who did this,” parodying the same meme from I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson. The poster has set up the room to look like the background of the clothing store, with the following items in lieu of the angry crowd in the original skit: skeleton, samurai suit, anatomy model, surprised lawn gnome, dress mannequin, small mannequin, and the raccoon figurine.

Quoting to show that a bot also came up when I went to block, that I blocked as well for good measure:

My costar message for today and how it feels reading it after a sleepless night (nothing happened, my body just decided I didn’t get to sleep last night)
Screencap of the poster’s costar page that says: “You deserve to feel proud of yourself. You've been dismissing that recent win, already thinking about what's next. Stop rushing. Look at what you've built. The evidence is right there, but you keep missing it while searching for some bigger validation.” Black ink drawing on a lime green post-it note of a person’s very exhausted face. Huge eye bags and a weary grimace.

Human artist- use one piece to convince other humans to follow you (plants & animals also welcome to follow)
Picture of a hand-stitched embroidery depicting a scene from the end of RRR in which Ram is riding on Bheem’s shoulders holding two rifles. The stitcher’s handle (@purpurinastitch) is visible on a needleminder on the fabric

Screencap from animal crossing: new horizons of the poster’s avatar dressed up like a vampire standing under the island’s flag. The flag is the RRR logo with Fire and Water underneath the logo and the words “rise roar revolt” on the outer edges of the flag

Your phone’s battery all
Picture of Clint Eastwood as Blondie in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, looking all FUCKED up with ultra dehydration on the desert floor. This man looks more decrepit than The Crypt Keeper. More desiccated than RFK’s cremains. He’s gonna crumble into dust at the next gust of wind.
