come mi sento quando vado al cinema, ad un concerto del cuore, leggo un bel libro, riguardo la mia serie preferita, prendo un gelato artigianale e mi lavo i capelli
Biggest take away from the Oscars for me is that finding people you love and making art with them is a worthy, integral and noble human pursuit, no matter the odds or outcomes.
I just thrifted a skirt & when I showed my mom, she said she had the same skirt in the early 00s. she asked what brand it was & I said “fashion bug, but someone wrote on the tag”. she laughed & said “I used to write my initials on the tags of my clothes” & when I looked again, I noticed it was her initials lol
at a time when we’re more isolated from each other than ever, the theatrical experience has never been more important. they may not be perfect, but theaters are some of the few places left that bring people of all walks of life together to escape whatever we endure in the day-to-day and allow us to laugh as one, cry as one, feel as one, and belong to something bigger than ourselves. even if you’re there alone, you’re never truly alone.
theaters are an essential cornerstone of every community, and i shudder to think of a future without them - one where the sadness and division that already corrupts our culture has increased tenfold and further eroded our empathy. the erasure of the theatrical experience isn’t just anti-art, it’s anti-humanity.
