If you haven’t seen this movie, I envy you. Oh, to see it for the first time. It is one of my absolute favorite things of all time - Mia Farrow voices the unicorn, America does the soundtrack, the animation is beautiful and strange. The song “The Last Unicorn” actually makes me tear up because it is just so good! Fantasy at its best, I cry. ✨
The 1982 box office flop the last unicorn is the best movie you will watch this month. Ignore the butterfly scene and the scene with the busty tree and the whole thing is ART. Watched it again tonight and theres just so much right with movie. corners were cut, actors were not taught to sing, Jeff Bridges delivers lines with signature disinterest but despite it all the bones of this story, the script and the story boarding are phenomena. Theres no bs, just humans contending with a world far beyond their control and ownership while a unicorn, both naive and wise, strives to save her people in the unbothered, matter of fact way an immortal must hold herself in the human world. Fantastic watch, currently my favorite movie
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
