long‐distance relationship
@Lady in my defense u were asleep
@naye that looks so lovely!
@hex trying to imagine what reading Gideon the Ninth as an aggressively straight boomer must be like
@coreo i tend to CW long threads with a subject line so they’re easier to scroll past (you can also put the 1/x counter their to make it easier to keep track) but that ones half because of how random what I usually post is haha
looking forward to seeing what you write!
@coreo thats good to hear! where were you reading it?
@coreo i havent read the novel so it wasnt me, but i *love* the show
@coriander @Lady @aescling cannot believe ive been passed up for takeout
@aescling @coriander @Lady i never was bothered by working until 8 pm but also i only ever worked that late at a job that fed me dinner so
@ysabet haha sometimes a cool enough concept briefly overrides ones actual preferences
i am a fan of both fennel and dill, but neither of them are really flavors where i’m like “what if this but MORE” so I’m not sure I’d actually prefer the pollen versions in practice. But also am vv curious and want to try the new thing 😆
@ysabet oh huh interesting! i wouldn’t have guessed that pollens were more intense than the rest of the plant, flavor-wise (tho usually plants go for strong flavors when they’re trying to keep insects away, which’d make pollination difficult. then again, i suppose you dont want the bees *eating* the pollen haha)
def curious to hear what you make!
@thedeadparrot@fanglitch.spac and *right* as everyone is reminded of the value of backups too 😔
@ysabet those all look really tasty! v curious about the dill pollen (is it actually pollen? what does it taste like??) and the fruit sugar
@hit_the_books it does seem rather in contradiction with their “we own the servers” principles
@twotone yeah it just felt like the author was falling for/perpetuating that marketing trend instead of critiquing it, when its the marketing and not the movies that are the issue
@twotone yeah its…i know a whole lot more women who dress like Michelle Yeoh’s character in EEAAO than dress like barbie
And I’m not saying that as a knock on barbie, but if the point is women wanting to see themselves realistically instead of through the male gaze I don’t think “make everything fuchsia” is necessarily going to solve the issue!
@twotone to make this point in a less pettily pendantic way, i think the author has two good points—people want more variety than just endless action flicks (agreed), and that women (or PoC) are expected to turn out for things catering to stuff catering to (white) men while their own interests are viewed as a “niche” marketing segment (i certainly do)
But they end up conflating the two in a way which fails to recognize any difference between surface level ‘fiiine i’ll put a girl in it’ representation and like, actual women being very into sff depicting themselves in sff
@twotone really not the main point of the article, but it seems like a massive disservice to describe Everything Everywhere All at Once as «a multiversal movie stuffed with fight scenes that happens to center a mother and daughter»
like if you can’t see how mother-daughter relationships *specifically* were central to the plot then idk what to tell you
