A taught, political thriller of a different sort with an incredible cast and beautiful set/costume design. I’ve been to the Sistine Chapel and I was honestly surprised the Vatican would let them film inside until I read that they recreated it for the movie (cuz of course they did!).

a gorgeous, hopeful, and mysterious film that I know will send self-proclaimed tradcath sedevacantists into a rage 🧘🏻♀️
sure it is a bit reductive and simplistic on Catholic doctrine, politics, and internal power struggles, but perhaps a necessary distillation for the moment we have found ourselves in...loved it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

the absolute diva-off of the year, i felt very much at home watching a bunch of catholics doing what catholics do best: gossiping <3
but in all seriousness this film was brilliant and i enjoyed every single second.

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it.
No more.
With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out.
As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get.
And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.

The guy got my attention with, “Hey, I like your shoes.” Just like that, he had me. We talked about where I bought the shoes and how I used to work in the shoe industry. He used to work in the beer industry but had recently become independently wealthy because of an investment opportunity he started with a few of his friends.
”You get to be your own boss,” he told me. Your boot could be on your own neck. We’re back to the topic of shoes.
He told me it’s a small investment to get started but things are really taking off and I could get in on the ground floor. I could quit my job. Work for myself. Had I ever considered doing something like that?
“No,” I said with a shrug. I walked away with my jar of peanut butter. I can’t remember if it was creamy or crunchy. Probably crunchy.
Nice guy!
