if this is how that doc truly reads that episode then it is just as annoyingly media illiterate as regular dummies on this internet

[sanrac @sanrac]

about SATC i want to add--i was a teen when i first watched that show and never thought "coulda, woulda, shoulda" was meant to shame people who have abortions or abortion itself / samantha directly states "i've had two" and asks about the others

[sanrac @sanrac]

she sees how differently her life was able to play out (positive) because she had one (her work, her relationships romantic or platonic) - and she ends the episode very satisfied with her choice

[sanrac @sanrac]

@applepuffsilver i'm forever blown away by your ability to take this little piece of "real life" (the knee cracking, the doctor's advice) and weave it into the fabric of fantasy (fiction) that is not simple wish fulfillment but is the hope of a better life, a different and more understanding one

[sanrac @sanrac]

i'm watching the pilot for "the americans" and i'm both disappointed in myself that i've waited so long to watch this and am so glad i have it to binge now

[sanrac @sanrac]

@brumblehag i didn't know this but now i'm thinking about how i really loved reboot and felt strongly that his character / performance was the best part

[sanrac @sanrac]

this writing is as sharp as it is funny; the commentary on the kind of individual tom is feels controlled, focused. and matthew macfayden inhabits him so well. perfect, horrifying, hilarious scene.

[sanrac @sanrac]

too much. (not enough)

[sanrac @sanrac]

teen turned 17 last month and used the "i'm gonna be 18 soon" line for the first time tonight...i have hundreds of days left of this

[sanrac @sanrac]

absolutely! this is what i mean!!

[. @pattinsondjo]

this is how it feels waking up every morning as a robert pattinson fan in 2026

[sanrac @sanrac]

what i love for me right now is i'm living in a time when robert pattinson is promoting so many movies - so many opportunities for weird hot photo shoots and equally odd quotables! a delight in a terrible world!

[sanrac @sanrac]

also, who cares? you can't tell me these dumb sentiments are being tweeted by teens so please, fellow millennials (likely the largest group of bridgerton viewers), grow the fuck up

[sanrac @sanrac]

generally, i enjoy having bridgerton on my fyp, but this is an example of when it's aggravating--there was no reality where all seasons of bridgerton would just take over the top 10, and people's attentions wane over time; this is not a question of quality but of time.

[sanrac @sanrac]

look, personally i'm unlikely to ever date anyone significantly older or younger than i am, but age gap discourse is insane on social media and i wish they had the ability to maybe pause, take a breath, ask a damn question, something

[sanrac @sanrac]

these people cannot be serious!! this is about off campus, but also - in dirty dancing, jennifer grey was indeed 8 years younger than patrick swayze but she was also 26 years old when they filmed that movie!! do they think she was literally baby's age?

[sanrac @sanrac]

@brumblehag anyway, literacy crisis in full swing!

[sanrac @sanrac]

@brumblehag no! she doesn't! and people are complaining that the financial component is a huge part of the book's "plot," but again - that feels like a misunderstanding of memoir; it's a structural device, sure, but the book is not about that

[sanrac @sanrac]

@brumblehag so, a piece like this, that's trying to point at falsities or whatever, feels annoyingly obtuse because - hello - weren't we all aware we were reading memoir???

[sanrac @sanrac]

@brumblehag i read the new yorker piece. i never felt like, while reading strangers, that she was writing a historical accounting, and i knew that she was deep in a genre that understands memory to be flawed - also, she has to keep certain elements private legally and for her kids!
