a frequently quoted article (chances are you’ve seen that banger line about “the mortifying ordeal of being known” at least once) but it’s one i still keep coming back to. also goes hard when paired with a viewing of You Hurt My Feelings (2023) directed by Nicole Holofcener, which is this charming 90-minute movie where a novelist (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus!) discovers her husband doesn’t actually like the book she’s written. a great little story about white lies and love

I watched this claustrophobic first date movie during the lockdowns and it's stuck with me ever since. I've never seen a movie where the inability to connect due to long-calcified adult neuroticisms and insecurities take centre stage, and is executed so well.
Also when you can no longer rely on the looks and charms of your 20s-30s to keep yourself from being alone on a Friday night... when you have to get honest with yourself and others about who you are in order to connect... when your interests and quirks become so niche out of prolonged loneliness that connecting with someone again seems impossible, when in reality it's so possible, you just need to give yourself and others a little bit of grace...
I'd love to see the play version of this.

This is my favorite movie. Maybe you know it as "that quirky Dylan biopic with Cate Blanchett". It's a true comfort watch that still gets me in the guts & it has some things to say about growing as a person & an artist.

written/directed by Charlie Kaufman and starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I spend a lot of time thinking about this movie. soulcrushing, beautiful soundtrack, gets more difficult to watch with each re-visit

so many of my guy friends never have a bag on them and consequently i am frequently the one doling out hand sanitizer/gum and carrying little things for them. luv them and truly happy 2 #provide but it Would be nice if we all carried some things now and then to cover each others’ bases….nowadays i do think more people regardless of gender are bringing bags around for fashion/functionality which is a great trend keep it up ✊(also it doesn’t have to be a big bag!! i don’t like carrying around too much stuff either🙂↕️)
