He didn’t even get mentioned once.
Heartstopper gets one thing fundamentally right about being bisexual: the integral role Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) plays in our early identity-formation.
Crushing on Will and Elizabeth (and Jack) is a rite of passage. It ’s the bi experience, baby
The iconic “Am I gay” quiz. Looking up lists of queer movies. Watching dozens of random people’s coming out videos on the YouTube.
It’s the queer teen experience, baby.
I love that the fact that the vast majority of episodes of Killing Eve don’t pass the Reverse Bechdel Test.
I can’t even remember the last scene where they showed just two men talking, if there even is one . Need more shows like that.
The real mystery of Moon Knight is how a gift shop-ist can afford a flat that spacious in central London on his own
What is going on? Spain and the UK? This can’t be real.
Carolyn is such an icon. “If you shoot me, you won’t get to hear the clever things I have to say.” No one does it like her.
Killing Eve is truly the only show that has ever managed to make me feel the same way NBC’s Hannibal did when I first watched it.
The newest episode of Riverdale is looking camp right in the eye.
We get an iconic performance of Veronica, now turned poisonous black widow, doing a spider-themed rendition of Britney Spears’ Toxic at her shareholder meeting.
Archie is anemic because he has been drinking Paladium soup, so Cheryl uses her pyrokinsesis to turn the Paladium inside him into iron.
And we finally get the confirmation that Alice does indeed, carry the serial killer gene. Now everything makes sense.
Did Riverdale get a new camera operator? Someone is really loving their frontal medium close-ups this episode

It’s never JUST about the tomatoes.
Basically!
Throughout the day, partners would make requests for connection, what Gottman calls “bids.” For example, say that the husband is a bird enthusiast and notices a goldfinch fly across the yard. He might say to his wife, “Look at that beautiful bird outside!” He’s not just commenting on the bird here: He’s requesting a response from his wife—a sign of interest or support—hoping they’ll connect, however momentarily, over the bird.
The wife now has a choice. She can respond by either “turning toward” or “turning away” from her husband, as Gottman puts it. Though the bird-bid might seem minor and silly, it can actually reveal a lot about the health of the relationship. The husband thought the bird was important enough to bring it up in conversation and the question is whether his wife recognizes and respects that.
These bidding interactions had profound effects on marital well-being. Couples who had divorced after a six-year follow-up had “turn-toward bids” 33 percent of the time. Only three in 10 of their bids for emotional connection were met with intimacy. The couples who were still together after six years had “turn-toward bids” 87 percent of the time. Nine times out of 10, they were meeting their partner’s emotional needs.
Damn, this made me think of all the “shouting into the void” social media posts everyone makes. Just bids for connection. From ANYONE.
I think that is ABSOLUTELY what a lot of that is. Our culture is very isolated (even BEFORE covid!), and we’re desperate to connect with others. I read an article one time that suggested that childcare workers stop saying that a child is “Just wants attention” and start saying that the child is “looking for connection.” We’re starved for it even from childhood.
When they are speaking about a passion, respond to children as if you would a tenured professor at a prestigious university, and to an adult as if you would a child free of the burdens of adulthood.
Children are desperate to teach the wonders of the world that they know, that they have just learned, and share it with anyone interested. Adults pour passion they didn’t know they had into voluntary obligations, and crave a simple acknowledgment of that passion as being worthy and valid.
“Dear third grader, tell me exactly why you chose <x> as you third favorite carnivorous dinosaur instead of second, as specifically as possible.”
“Hey neighbor, your vegetable garden is absolutely gorgeous this year…and no I’m not just saying that because the tomatoes you gave me last year were absolute perfection.”
