I see the light in our teacher candidates' eyes when they speak about working with young people.

We are light workers. I don't want that light hidden under a proverbial bushel. I want it to shine. God knows we need all the candles we can get in these bleak times.

Small point perhaps, but he is also so good at smiling his way through the job interview in a way that says "no matter what disturbing shit you tell me, I'll say yes, I need money so bad", which is maybe why the movie's relevance hasn't dulled

anyway Jack Nicholson does an incredibly good job in this version of the story, which, irrespective of supernatural elements, is basically the story of the terror and isolation of domestic abuse

im rewatching The Shining for the millionth time and while i think the book does some things better (getting us into Jack's head) the book is a story about a good man swallowed by ghosts and Kubrick's story is about a family annihilator, and thus much, much scarier

Close up of the Batman in which we see his head, his face looking towards the upper left of the panel and his cape draped over his left side. Narration: “He stops. Listens. But it’s nothing. Only the night. And the night is dark. The night is mine.“

Listen sometimes the situation simply requires a Catholic

Tumblr post from confusionofconfusions-deactivat
i love that 17th century jewish poltergeist story where the family living in the haunted house calls a catholic priest for help before they contact a rabbi, because yeah, i think that would be my call too; id be like, oh? a demon in my house speaking latin and drawing inverted crosses on my wall in sulfuric bile? then without even questioning my faith i'd call up the catholic church and be like yo father, one of your boys loose come get him

🧵 regarding the shutdown:

The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives.

If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

Looks like Psycho-Man accomplished something that getting married, bearing a child (then losing one) and deciding on a perm mullet as a fashion statement couldn't do...it made Susie a WOMAN!

Hear her ROAR!!

Panel of Sue Richards giving a soliloquy.

She says her encounter with Psycho Man and her temporary transformation into Malice has destroyed her innocence as a girl.

Invisible Girl no longer exists, from now on she is the invisible Woman.

Back when Twitter was functional, it was possible to be pretty well-informed and plugged in to what was happening from a leftist perspective with a carefully cultivated feed and community. I think Twitter imploding under Musk made that a lot harder for a number of reasons

The administration believes students with disabilities are not welcome in US public schools. They’re willing to go around and act passed by Congress and signed by HW Bush to deny students their equal right to an education. Time for the disability community AND our allies to get loud. /end

All the choices I didn't make. All the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven't been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed.

Walked out of a movie to news of Diane Keaton passing away and I don’t even know what to say. One of the most important actresses to me personally, someone whose career and style has influenced my own deeply. We were so lucky to have her.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic
