I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
Interesting choice of words here by @MIFFofficial. Hmmm, I wonder what country she went to? Could it be internationally renowned pedophile haven ******? 🤔 #miff2025
Greatest risk to European democracy is obviously the Gaza genocide. Not Putin, not Orban, not social media, not immigration. Gaza. A whole generation is losing faith in democracy. Will be impossible to recover it
“Today, the Holocaust and Jewish security are being used to justify massacres and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”

Biden let Israel destroy Gaza to the point that much of it is uninhabitable. The current state of Gaza is the consequence of Biden letting Israel act with total impunity. Biden set the stage; Trump wants to finish what he started. It’s up to Palestinians and the world to resist.
“This WOMAN is saying I’M stupid???” is the sentiment behind 99% of the nasty comments people make on my Letterboxd reviews
Perhaps the solution lies not in policing valid opinions about art but in developing a thicker skin & not engaging with films just to flatter yourself
@Boringstein Oh they're well within their rights to jab just like I'm well within my rights to jab back. I'm certainly not an Eggers stan (lol?), I just believe it's possible to talk about art you don't fw in a way that doesn't make the people who do like it feel inferior.
Experiencing down bad, psychotic, feral horny, psychedelic lust for a truly ordinary man is part of the female experience. You don’t need to understand it.
Getting some real Evil Does Not Exist vibes from this event. Hamaguchi’s film captures so well the powerlessness & despair we all feel faced with everyday corporate violence that hides behind layers of bland platitudes and feels increasingly impossible to push back on
What are the people meant to do when predatory megacorporations ruin lives by the thousands? Write them sternly worded letters? Vote the corporations out of office? I keep thinking of that quote "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."
Honestly, seeing people butthurt about the Myer Christmas window event being cancelled because "Christmas" is hilarious as a Christian, because for one there's nothing Christ-like about being silent during a genocide, or putting your own fun and comfort over the lives of others.
It’s not even the fucking windows just the launch of the windows – surely not a cherished tradition in anyone’s childhood, just another way for Myer to funnel more mindless consumers into their stores
