ok but this is a drawing of a penis in the sky isn't it?

there is some analysis to be done here about Riker and the symbolism of the trombone as a penis.

someone else should do it, i don't wanna.

i hope a gay guyyyy appreciates it

aaaa. i wish the comments didn't affect you so much. all the dumb ones - they're all so dumb. you get tons of supportive ones too! i know that's sort of trivial to say though.

do you read literally every comment?

here is a comment: dr collier you're great and i love your videos.

i love being asleep

i have this fantasy.

of sitting in a room with some people and listening to music and it just being nice.

it feels like a fantasy that was maybe once a reality for people.

i don't know.

i just want to listen to music, and be friends with people, and it be nice. i don't think it will ever happen.

poppycock!

watching the pitt for the first time. i love Mel so much.

i think it was this. it's pretty empty, although still promising that they're about as shitty as expected. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...

you're up late, how do you get *anything* done?!

not pictured - stumbling down the hill and falling face first into a patch of holly, i am very bad at all the things

oh crap i wasn't prepared for the trap to actually work

just saw a tiny cute little mouse wandering happily around my bedroom floor.

it dashed under my bed when my stomach made a noise.

dangit, cute and annoying little creature.

counter point: a soufflé after opening the oven too early. :'(

i do wonder sometimes if it didn't "succeed" in terms of the youtube views purely because it's not super clear what it's about - that it's a feminist analysis of female characters and characterisation en masse. it's a shame. it's so good.

genuinely, this is such a good analysis of a specific film - that i wasn't interested in watching until seeing this series of video essays i'll be honest - that contrasts and compares it in really interesting and informative ways to a broader film culture portrayal of female and feminine characters.

Bringing Back What's Stolen: Introductions YouTube video by Innuendo Studios

just over here trying to get my friends to watch Ian Danskin's @innuendostudios.bsky.social "Bringing Back What's Stolen" series.

he's most known for his alt right videos, but i think i enjoy rewatching this series the most. it is vastly underrated.

during my intake at the psychiatric ward the other week, the doctor or nurse or whatever they were asked if my oestrogen gel was "for menopause?"

it only occurred to me later after i was less psychiatric-ward-y that that was kind of gender affirming.

is that because people are watching it in two goes rather than all at once? if there's a way to tell

that is a very specific metaphor

i have not been in this position either. i just got out of the psych ward, for this?

"people who have specific struggles incentivized to get help with what they are specifically struggling with."

who would have thought?

smh.

yeah i more meant judgemental about patients. house was all about that. character and show itself.

the pitt reminded me how bad and judgemental all the previous medical dramas have been

i dunno if i puked up pills or curry

i guess i will die at some point. :(

i ate pre shredded cheese before i saw that some of it was mouldy, with blue fur.

i guess i will die now. :(

i threw it away, but then i found other cheese in my fridge comma that i ate. i was hungry okay stop hectoring me.

I really can't put this more clearly.

If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on.

There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

that struck a deep nerve with me, when i read it when i was a kid. even then, i felt this pit in myself, this sense that if i really "felt" what i "should" feel, i wouldn't be able to bear it. existence is horrific and tragic and just unbearably sad. how are you supposed to cope?

i don't know if this is an accurate reaction or an inaccurate reaction. i can't figure out what the right way to frame it to myself is.

did you ever read about the total perspective vortex?
