Here is a thread of wholesome things that occur in my day-to-day life. I’ll be adding to this whenever something cute, joyful, or life-affirming happens. I hope this thread can brighten your day every now and then.
"Not to have seen the cinema of Satyajit Ray means existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon." 💛✨ Kurosawa on Ray, the beautiful cinematic spirit who gave us such masterpieces as THE APU TRILOGY and so much more, was as born on this day in 1921.
Five years ago we marched and people told us it didn’t matter nothing would change because we’re just “kids” in the time since the movement passed over 250 gun laws- and just today with MSU students passed two more. Don’t let anyone say you’re to young to make change. You can.
This is literally so fucking toxic? You do realize that trans women of color are the reason lgbt people have been able to progress. Trans people started the stonewall movement and now y’all are trying to cut us out? Go fuck yourself.
The GOAT Robby Müller's birthday, I gotta post Wim Wenders talking Paris, Texas cinematography from his DVD commentary, they really might be the most perfect director/cinematographer match there ever was
JUST IN: A federal judge has just ORDERED Llano County Texas to return "all books" that were removed from their libraries due to their content or viewpoint.
Library patrons successfully argued that "content-based restrictions" were likely unconstitutional.
The Texas judge is also prohibiting the officials from removing any more books while a lawsuit remains pending.
The books that were banned included a book for teens that calls the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist group, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” and a comedic children’s book with three stories from Dawn McMillan’s “I Need a New Butt!” series.
The decision could set wide reaching precedent in light of recent book banning in Florida, supported by Ron DeSantis.
What a great victory for books! 💙
