really ultimately, as great as a film monkey man was, there is a certain....irreverance or detachment i have with ramayana as a story and mythology, i know it well enough to have appreciated the imagery and motifs in the film and how its woven in but from a political perspective, im like eh, not the most interesting take on the ramayaana i have seen in film
also i need one of you south asian interviewers to ask dev patel if the villain is supposed to be jaggi vasudev aka sadhguru
thoughts on monkey man?
Haven't watched it yet! But once I do will put my thoughts here. Or keep an eye on my letterboxd, I go by therukurals on there too.

This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.
VETTED FAMILY ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS
MORE VETTED FAMILY ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS (tumblr has a character-per-block limit, there's no difference between the following fundraisers and the previous ones).
UNVETTED, BUT HIGHLY LIKELY LEGITIMATE ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS:

At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be. Can’t let nobody make that decision for you.

The organizer for Walaa's GoFundMe wanted to share this video here as well - please if you are able to help Walaa and her family escape Gaza during this genocide, I will leave the donation link below. Share with your family, your friends, and your followers - time is running out.
This is so funny I think all homophobic people should be haunted by a gay ghost
Stop crying, he's not worth it.
Look the thing about Marry My Dead Body is that it is very much bury-your-gays in that the gay comes pre-buried before the movie opens. But. Humour me a moment. It is also, arguably, a story about the birth of a queer. It's about a guy who goes around calling gay men whatever the Taiwanese equivalent of pansy is that I do NOT want to know about and ends it as the grieving but heart-gladdened widower of a man he loves more than life. You see what I'm getting at here? I'm not entirely serious because I'm not sure the movie is entirely serious but like. It's about the possibility of it. Some queer people are born this way and some are reborn this way.
It's not about what you say. It's about using your eyes.
