the sound of music is so iconic

like

  • the nuns roasting maria in three part harmony
  • ‘the dress. you’ll have to put on another one before meeting the children’ ‘when we enter the abbey our worldly clothes are given to the poor’ ‘what about this one?’ ‘the poor didn’t want this one’
  • all seven children bursting into tears at dinner while Maria sips her tea
  • ‘God bless whats his name’ (ten minutes later) ‘KURT! that’s the one I left out! God bless Kurt.’
  • maria passive aggressively praying about Liesl as she climbs through the window
  • tbh Captain Von Trapp dragging everyone around him at every possible moment like
  • ‘you flatter me captain’ ‘oh I’m sorry, I meant to accuse you’ *AIR HORN SOUNDS*
  • ‘I’m not finished yet!’ ‘OH YES YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.’ … ‘FRAULEIN’
  • liesl rolling her eyes at kurt during the blueberry/strawberry scene
  • honestly the love story I didn’t quite get as a kid but I’m SHOOK
  • when the baroness is trying to get the captain back on track but he just interrupts her and is like ‘there’s no use’
  • BUT WHEN THE BARONESS SAYS ‘well, she’ll never be a nun’ the look of SHOCK on his face like it honestly never occurred to him that Maria was in love with him too
  • so of course hes like ‘I must find her and kiss her immediately’
  • Von Trapp ripping the nazi flag in half like YES BINCH
  • THE MOST UNDERRATED SCENE THOUGH IS AFTER THE NAZIS RUN TO THEIR CARS TO CHASE THE VON TRAPPS AND THE SCENE SWITCHES TO THE TWO NUNS
  • ‘reverend mother, I have sinned’ ‘I too, reverend mother’ *they both hold up coils from the nazi’s cars*

anyway this movie is the best and I love it

I think maybe we need to start calling people who tell us not to vote "Russian psyops." They were am actual thing last time and I think people need to be reminded of how they sound when they try to discourage voting.

I said this months ago and the cope in the comments....it was unbelievable. Trying to say there was no lesser evil or that it isn't good enough to vote for a lesser evil. Like, cool, I agree, fkn weird to just decide that on an election year though? Why don't you spend your NON election years trying to rage against the machine? Because the only thing that is pleased by a bunch of leftist voters opting out is....well, it is pretty fucking obvious.

This is EXACTLY like what happened in the 2016 election, only with more sophisticated disinformation machines.

My whole fucking senior project was on social media disinformation and young voters. I and my professors all knew that something like this would happen the next time Trump ran for office, and here we are

what are you supposed to do on the days that absolutely no food sounds appetizing but youre sitting there hungry and getting a headache but everything does not sound appealing

Drink something with calories (more is better). Juice, chocolate milk, whatever. Once it hits your blood stream you'll have 10-20 minutes of feeling better where you can get something more solid into your belly. This can be candy at first, but step your way up to something with protein and fats (this'll help you feel full and satisfied and keep you from having a spike/crash of energy).

Often being really hungry/having low blood sugar can make you feel nauseated and give you headaches, etc. Giving yourself a quick sugar jump will help manage those symptoms long enough to do something more lasting about it.

Be aware! You'll feel better once you get the sugar in your body but it won't last very long! You need to eat something else before it wears off again.

seconded, definitely drink something first preferably with caloric content

How do I politely tell people that they need hobbies that don't involve the internet or activism?

Start a garden. Get into birdwatching. Join a diamond painting group. Join a book club. Learn how to embroider. Take a pottery class.

Just. Anything that doesn't involve constant arguments about theory and praxis. Interact with people who are outside of your immediate friend group. Shove your hands into some dirt. Create something just for yourself.

Saw this advice in a more context specific post but I think it applies much more widely:

If a post makes you feel angry, upset, and hopeless, while offering no actionable information, scroll on and don't reblog it. I know that is going to feel harsh in some cases. But it's important to spend your energy on what you can actually do and not be sunk into helpless rage and despair that benefits no one.

yeah I got an E.M. Forster tattoo because “He had robbed the body of its taint, the world's taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire” lives in my mind rent free so it might as well live on my body too

5 simple exercises to awaken dormant muscles

I appreciate this video a lot--people don't realize how important it is to start slow if you're trying to come back from a completely sedentary lifestyle, and they get really hurt as a result. Straining your muscles too much, too suddenly can land you in the E.R. and the wrong joint injury can permanently affect your mobility, so please start with absolute basics and easy stretches!

In The New Queer Conscience, LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility -- that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere. Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, The New Queer Conscience, Voices4 Founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we're not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.
