for me to come back to at a later date: i will not be sacrificed to this moment. i will not let myself be burnt out from doing the work that i am so passionate about. i will make it through the despair and rise to reject the imperial terror. a better world is coming, soon!
Melissa Barrera is still one of the bravest people I’ve seen industry. She was the only one I know who actually said it as it was at the time, and continues to do so
Holy shit. The idea of making Carrie a contemporary story where she’s being bullied by a bunch of insufferable Gen Z kids works so well. Like people are so cruel and lack so much empathy today that this story is perfect for a modern setting.
YES MIKE YES
every single “intellectual” final girl in horrors post 2013 was based on her and nobody could touch her. performance so good they couldn’t let kirby die. what a generational talent. hope the boyfriend rots in a physical inferno IN LIFE before metaphorical hell
Melissa Barrera says the people who "accused me of being antisemitic" still "deny that what’s going on [in Gaza] is a genocide. So, we’re never going to see eye to eye on that... And they’re wrong. Just factually wrong."
"The specifics of my situation were like a perfect storm. I’m a woman of color in this industry. I’m 'on the rise,' but I don’t have a big enough name to be untouchable, so they can make an example out of me. I am well-known enough that you can write articles and create all the clickbait propaganda that you need, but also not big enough that people are going to care enough or revolt or do anything in the industry for me. I was the perfect scapegoat."

the supreme court just ruled EIGHT TO ONE that BANNING CONVERSION THERAPY IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. neither party will save us. burn this entire fucking system to the ground.
aside from longcovid: it genuinely feels like most US doctors don't believe their patients about anything anymore and don't care to try to do their jobs to even the most basic level of competency
should be a national emergency just how much these liberal talk shows are continuously making millions of american’s gleefully incurious and belligerently infantile politically. just a tragedy that this is the source that millions of people are relying on to stay informed
speaking without hyperbole, Melissa Barrera is going to be remembered as one of the few public figures with any integrity in this wretched era. She's someone people can genuinely look up to, and that's in short supply right now.
This absolutely would not have happened if supporters of Palestine had backed down and given Harris their vote.
The left's courage in 2024 has made possible a real victory - not just a less-evil "victory" - in 2028.
