I do not understand how everyone is not shazaming everything all the time. I once was trying out an assistant who asked me “what song is this?” TWICE in a row about an obscure playlist I was bumping. Needless to say, he was never seen again. I can tell what city I was in at any given time based on what Shazams are in my history. Do you not feel the burn of existential curiosity searing a hole into your soul constantly?

Multiple reasons to visit NGA, but the free screenings are among the top for me. Thought provoking programming that is usually tied in some way to ongoing exhibitions. I don’t watch trailers so I love to go in there without any expectations. Shout out to the lush red velvet seating - so cozy.

really the rec is for whatever local video store is in ur area (nyc people sound off i guess). ANYWHOOO i've been a member for minute now and the catalogue is so much larger than any streaming site and i get to go talk to the lovely staff and we exchange our love for the different movies we're watching, akin to the library/local bookstore. the digital ephemera lacks that human touch.

I am learning to forgive people instantly, to forgive before they’ve wronged me, to forgive them for the sin that is being human. Grace is undeserved favor, and as someone who has been obsessed with being The Victim, it’s so freeing to accept that all people are deserving of forgiveness and grace. Also, it makes me morally superior to them.

This may seem obvious to people who didn’t grow up in the suburbs, but I’ve been enjoying having custom objects made for me. I’ve been wearing a belt I designed from an anagram I’ve been drawing since I was 12, cut by a trusted steelworker who also built the railing I designed in my house. I have custom handmade mirrors and tables and handbrushes and stools and jeans. I may not be able to build stuff but I sure can tell people what to do. It’s so nice to have personal relationships with objects and the craftspeople who make them.

Remember Deleted Scenes? Remember Director’s Commentary? Remember the feeling of holding something warm in your hands and appreciating the cultural exchange you just had with it? You can’t get that from a streaming network. I bought a DVD player this year, went to the Goodwill DVD section and bought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and a pilates dvd for $1. One day the billionaires will cut the internet off and we will all look up and realize that we don’t own any of the media we love. Buy vinyl, buy cds, and buy DVDs – especially if you want to learn more about the movies you already love.
