hey tell me if there’s a way you’re supposed to describe “staring at the camera” “or making eye contact with the viewer” in captions like, is that how you’re meant to write it bc i’m. kinda copying what i was told in film studies

if there’s any like. standardised way of describing pictures at all it’d be helpful too

“The Obsolete Man,” The Twilight Zone

[id: rod serling narrating the twilight zone and speaking directly to the camera. text reads: “the chancellor… the late chancellor was only partially correct. he was obsolete, but so is the state, the entity he worshipped. any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete.”]

Capitalist culture is service industry workers not being allowed to sit down for their entire shifts, no matter how dead the traffic flow gets.

Capitalist culture is service industry workers sacrificing their comfort for antagonizing and pervy customers who are “always right”.

Capitalist culture is giving students homework in order to prepare them for their future careers where they’ll inevitably need to “take work home with them” or work extra hours in order to put bread on the table.

Capitalist culture is helping physically/mentally ill people only to the extent that they’re able to generate profitable labor again.

Capitalist culture is destroying food that can’t be sold rather than distributing it to poor people according to need.

Capitalist culture is monetizing knowledge and making it artificially scarce so that owners can profit and laypeople are left in the dark.

do you ever think about the impact “this bitch empty” girl?? Like she created a whole new verb that has a very specific meaning but pretty much all millennial and gen zs understand it. do you think she knows the scale of what she’s done??? because honestly what a legend

Straight girls who are incredulous at the thought of an f/f relationship because they think it would just be like “having a relationship with your best friend, how could I take that seriously?” Is sooooooooo disturbingly sad because like, yeah, a relationship should be with someone you consider your best friend? It just shows how straight people have this fucked up perception of what a relationship is supposed to be like it rly backs up heteronormative roles of men basically looking for a second mother to do everything for them and women looking for someone to take care of instead of being an equal partnership with someone you both love as a partner and like as a friend

i dont think “lightning has a better chance of killing you than a cop” is a point, much less a good one

i havent been told from birth that:

-i should summon lightning if im in trouble

-i can trust lightning and should always tell it truth

-any sort of trouble caused by lightning is just bad lightning, and not at all related to the simple fact of its fucking lightning

-lightning will be there for me, and will never let me down

-lightning kills people, but if that happens they were scum or thugs or they ran because theyre guilty and so who cares lightning killed them stop complaining

theres no videos of eight lightning bolts hitting someone thirteen times each. these are different things and “the cops might summarily execute you” isnt the sort of thing we should analyze as some random chance consequence of existance

16 people died from lightening strikes in the usa in 2017.

1129 people died at the hands of cops in the usa in 2017.

we don’t pay for lightning to exist

And lightening doesn’t strike brown, black and disabled people at several times the national average because it’s fcking lightening

I shall fight whoever came up with that one.

Milo Yianopolous as a matter of fact
