“I figured it’d be okay to post spoilers for [insert movie, book, show, video game here] since it’s like 10+ years old.”
Not everyone was born at the same time!! also, not everyone is exposed to the same things at the same time. Respect spoiler warnings no matter how old a narrative piece may be!!

I understand that there’s a certain appeal going into experiences totally blind, discovering plots and details in real time. But I also think the concept of “spoilers” trains us to believe the magic of certain art forms is in the grand reveal. Believing something is spoiled/rotten/devalued once the “secret” is out feels like a symptom of living in a world where everything is seen as disposable. Instead of being disappointed by premature reveals, try letting it spark even more intrigue, curiosity, and attention to detail 💕

I feel like it gives you clarity. For example, I just watched Dunkirk, albeit on a plane, and I thought it was awful. Just the most boring, dull, dimensionless, dialogue-less, character-less (like we know nothing about the characters or their backstory, so why even care? They're all just cheap stale tropes) movie. After we landed, I checked online to see what people actually thought of it and was absolutely blown away to see it receive such high ratings and have so many people claiming it was the best nolan movie ever - and I like a lot of nolan's stuff, so I'm not just a hater.
Anyway, I think part of it is just me getting old, but I like how the distance of not immediately consuming a piece of art can help you avoid getting swept up in the opinions of others - or I suppose it could also have the opposite effect and lead to your taste being completely tainted by the opinions of others. So the other key is to not have a good memory (conveniently a byproduct of getting older), that way you don't remember the opinions of others by the time you finally get around to watching it.

It’s important to keep boycotting corporations/brands that support Israel. The genocidal, one-sided war on the Palestinian people is still occurring. Don‘t go to Starbucks, don’t go to McDonald’s or Burger King, and dear god try to avoid buying Coke or Pepsi products (that includes Dasani, Aquafina, Powerade, and Gatorade!!)
