Joan of Arc came back as a little girl in Japan, and her father told her to stop listening to her imaginary friends.
Elvis was born again in a small village in Sudan, he died hungry, age 9, never knowing what a guitar was.
Michelangelo was drafted into the military at age 18 in Korea, he painted his face black with shoe polish and learned to kill.
Jackson Pollock got told to stop making a mess, somewhere in Russia.
Hemingway, to this day, writes DVD instruction manuals somewhere in China. He’s an old man on a factory line. You wouldn’t recognise him.
Gandhi was born to a wealthy stockbroker in New York. He never forgave the world after his father threw himself from his office window, on the 21st floor.
And everyone, somewhere, is someone, if we only give them a chance.

- what you said was: "i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"
- what you meant was: "i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the "purity" of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don't fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity"
- what i heard was: "hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"
#oh my god #I’d forgotten this scene #this is why, isn’t it #this is why he always told her how special she was #how important #how brilliant #because he remembered the time when he was so callous #the time that, for all he knows, might have contributed to her shitty self esteem even more #the time he told her she wasn’t special or important #which coming from him is harsh #I mean the Doctor thinks everyone’s important #but in that moment #with a brain addled with heartbreak #and a heart aching for his Rose #he told her what she already thought about herself #and who knows #maybe that’s why she never believed him
I’m not crying… not…

100 Years of Style in 100 Seconds
this is actually the most amazing thing i watched it twice
Oh snap, this is brilliant!
I’ve watched this video so many times I love it a lot.
Oh hot reservoir, this is my marmalade
Our textiles teacher showed us this! Its so cool!
100 Years of Style in White Culture, anyway…
That is amazing, though. And I love the moment where you can see different cultural movements emerging and the way they expressed them.
I’m going to write a musical solely for altos, with notes that are actually in the alto range. Then I’ll give the sopranos the harmonies that they can’t reach vocally. Hey, it’s only fair that it goes both ways.
Just because you’re not a soprano doesn’t…
Is your satire effective if it triggers feelings of insecurity and inadequacy in a certain subgroup within your viewership? Is your satire effective if it makes misogynists and fat-shamers feel like their hatred and aggression has been validated? Is your satire effective if you have to explain to everyone that it’s satire?
No, no, no.
Of course, there is plenty of room for edgier satire that makes people feel uncomfortable. But the point is to make people feel uncomfortable about society’s inherent power structure, or the misdeeds of government, or the follies of humanity in general — with the intent that you’ll spark intelligent discussion that might lead to positive changes in the world. If your satire only serves to make women feel uncomfortable about their bodies, then you need to reexamine your approach.
