film, music, etc…

when a great mind passes before you’re born, there’s a great sadness in that you can never share the same world.

It should be illegal for politicians to answer questions indirectly.

Displaying unparalleled empathy for all… until somebody with Tourette syndrome or bi-polar disorder involuntarily goes against your principles. Suddenly, you claim their actions are intentional, or that they deserve to be shunned, and they are even deadnamed.

I feel a shame.

There has been a large shift in culture towards a negative. There is a strong sense that accountability, although apologies are demanded, holds no meaning. Misinformation is at a high. Understanding of mental health disabilities is marginal. Virtue has overtaken realism.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

Concern is misplaced. Ignorance is platformed. Hypocrisy is prevalent in all walks. Dishonesty is expected; Nothing is as it appears. Agendas of power are in motion, which we have no say over. Idealism is projected. Most are concerned with preserving their image & interests.

have awareness. change is needed.

locked in a loop

This year, I’m finding a happiness within myself that I had long-feared could no longer materialise… Prioritising health, finding a stillness, and generating a sense of contentment that coincides with a turbulent world.

underneath, the world is still beautiful

Stopping an active social media presence is extremely addictive, and looking in, it’s very difficult to pull yourself back into the circus once your perspective has shifted.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

I find it redundant to convince other people to align with your way of thinking. There’s a lot of self-indulgence, and it’s part of a bigger problem regarding privilege and entitlement. Some are too comfortable.

I don’t care, and we don’t matter. Just be grateful to be alive.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

Between birth and death, literally everything - aside from nature - is made up.

Believe in what you want, gravitate towards whatever comforts you. Seek enjoyment and find solace in that which makes you happy.

Because ultimately, beneath the manufactured skin, nothing matters.

This is the best year for film in a long time. I’ve not been to the cinema this much, ever. So many original stories, it’s incredible.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

I really love that people seem to be going to the cinema more and more, to watch original stories. There was this period where superhero movies were the only draw - and for good reason. But then there was this feeling of fatigue.

And now people watch everything again.

Someone tell Michael Stipe to release an album. The world needs him now more than ever.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

Every subscription-based service should offer a lifetime purchase.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

Harrison Ford is one of my favourite people.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

I think it should be mandatory for all social media accounts to be linked to the individual through their ID (driving licence, birth certificate etc...)

And all pages linked back to the main account or CEO. Easily verifiable and no more hiding.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

I think it’s really important to be able to understand that certain things have merit, and a target audience - which may not include you - without discrediting it entirely.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

Cailee Spaeny & Florence Pugh, too.

[Matthew W.F. Senior @wfsenior]

When I think of “New Hollywood”, Mia Goth and Paul Mescal spring to mind.
