Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, & Katharine Hepburn in the '30s & '40s
In the early 1930s, scholarly studies were done on the impact of screen stars on teenagers, because of fears that the movies were sexualizing them. These studies found that teenage girls learned sex techniques through watching Garboβs sex scenes, especially those in Flesh and the Devil; they then practiced her techniques at home with their girlfriends. Raymond Daum described Garboβs many young female fans as having βschoolgirl crushes on herβ that βdefined a national idolatry.β And knowledge of Garboβs non-heteronormative sexuality was spread through lesbian networks βfrom coast to coast.β Moreover, the 1920s was an era of commercial expansion in which the ranks of saleswomen and typists, careers dominated by young women, increased. These women made enough money to see a movie more than once. They identified with female stars and liked to see them in powerful roles. Greta Garbo in Flesh and the Devil (1926)

I dont care about ethics but rpf seems like it requires a lot of research.
Yeah but that's secretly the fun part.
Glad this one is resonating with the rpf girlies

first time I ever went to the animal shelter and picked out my own animal was surreal. we had so many animals growing up but we never picked out any of them. and sure thatβs normal for cats. they just showed up and we adopted them. but it didnβt end there.
we had a ball python because my mom was on a walk with her friends, saw it on the ground (this was Ohio) said βwoah! thatβs not native!β and put it in her purse. we advertised but never found the owner so we kept the purse python.
we ended up with a corn snake during a hurricane because my mom went out to get one of the cats and the corn snake was so little it came blowing through the air like a branch and my mom reached out and grabbed it out of the air to save it.
actually the point of this post is lost because I typed this far and realized the universe was maybe just sending my mom snakes specifically.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
