does anyone remember the name of a short film/video project that was like a woman walking through a city at night in heels and dress, but she's wearing a helmet that's just one big mirror? and it catches the way people react to her strangely. been trying to refind it for a while but never can

Emmy-award winner Hannah Einbinder: "I have trouble with the term 'liberal Zionism' because I think it absolves the identifier of reckoning with the necessary elements for the ideology to thrive."

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?
mollymoss.bsky.social
i think you're both right and that's why it bugs me, its like a way to allow yourself to indulge in behavior bc you can just say you're making fun of the movie
mollymoss.bsky.social
i think once you get past the kitsch, its a deeply misogynistic movie! i think its misogyny is very impotent but i think i just dont enjoy it now that its so famous

theres so many other "bad" movies you could be screening, ill take an ed wood over the room any day
mollymoss.bsky.social
hot take but it's 2025. i think we can stop playing the room in theatres. the joke died a long time ago

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

the thing i hate the most about this argument is that it doesn't work. it observably has not been working. capitulating on trans rights, immigrant rights, abortion, does not win elections, it loses them incredibly consistently.

this is a loser mentality and always will be

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
mollymoss.bsky.social
which groups would you feel comfortable sacrificing, in that case? which are and aren't worth protecting?

when trans women write, it's a fetish apparently. incredibly on-the-nose merging of transmisogyny and fascism all in one headline here.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Refusing to ban Singal and actions like this while maintaining the pretense of building a "more polite" social media speaks to a political goal of trying to make transphobic hate speech a socially acceptable form of interaction.
