Mer

this gave me more whiplash than Lana’s driving. It’s...just?? Wrong???

it’s not “cancelling” her—it’s just using common sense and calling out something dangerous.

If one of my friends did shit like this, I would literally show up to their house and stage an intervention. It’s not amusing. Not to be a karen about it....

“In the end, the tortures tearing the Lisbon girls pointed to a simple reasoned refusal to accept the world as it was handed down to them, so full of flaws.” — The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

Not exactly a “great literary work”, YA novel but: “And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.” —Kristen White, The Chaos of the Stars

Just checked, and Mariners is still my top played song THREE YEARS CONSECUTIVE (18,19,20). Although it’s neck in neck with Cardigan and keeps changing between the two (with the rest of the folklore tracks not far behind)

I’m so confused bc in “Never to Heaven” she seemed to denounce religion and the idea of God...actually a lot of her work seems chaotically agnostic, but her interviews are opposite?

Here we go again with the psychology by proxy

Yes it is from Lolita

...I run a literary review/book club Instagram account...

Some of mine “But in my arms, she was always Lolita” —Vladimir Nabakov, Lolita “It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and in hell.” —Claire Morgan, The Price of Salt or Carol “Rebecca slashing at her horse; Rebecca seizing life with her two hands; Rebecca, triumphant, leaning down from the minstrel’s gallery with a smile on her lips” —Daphne Du Maurier, Rebecca

1. Basic Instinct 2. A Single Man 3. Nocturnal Animals 4. Blue Jasmine 5. The Wife 6. Carol (The Price Of Salt) 7. Fading Gigolo 8. The Yellow Eyes Of Crocodiles 9. Jurassic Park 10. Knives Out 11. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty 12. Where’d You Go Bernadette 13. Lolita (1997) 14. The Holiday 15. Last Holiday 16. Death Becomes Her 17. Atomic Blonde 18. The Gentlemen 19. To Catch a Thief 20. Inception

The short story was wayyy better and much clearer. The director tried to hard to make the movie deep imo—it felt like a pretentious student film who then complains about being “misunderstood in his time”. OT: I just watched The Gentlemen by Guy Ritchie and I LOVED it.

For anyone still following the general election: 55 days until polls close. Swing states of PA, WI, MI, and AZ don't begin counting ballots until after polls close, so we may see a Trump lead early on Nov. 3, but in a few days the states all tip to Biden. FiveThirtyEight places Biden at a 70% chance of winning the Presidency, with 334 electoral votes (see map in spoiler). If you are voting by mail, pls drop off ur ballot ASAP (don't rely on the postage system, drop it off yourself if you can). For dual citizens living outside of the US currently (like me!), you should receive your ballot by the end of this month (I believe) and it pls send it back to the US by mid-October. Also make sure you're mail-in-ballot is properly filled out and signed, so in the event of a recount, the Trump admin cannot disqualify it!. Cheers everyone!

Ma’am this is the Instagram thread.

something wrong with y'all istg

I see a lot of confusion over the line “I never really had a mother”. I think it’s important to remember that you can know and love the woman who birthed you, but still feel like you never had a motherly figure in you’re life. I relate to this line a lot, bc I love the woman I call “maman”—and she is my partner in crime; but she was never a motherly figure. I learned from a very young age that I was more mature than she was, and things that mildly upset me were devastating for her. So I never could seek that solace in her one attributes to a mother...and I have spent 20 years looking for a “mom”. Even though I adore my real mother and would do anything for her, I never really had a mother either. It’s just that, things aren’t so black and white.

She doesn't have an account. And if she did, she's such a good actress/pretender/liar, she'd probably be the last person we expect
