4 films you love and would give five stars, one each from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s:

Double Indemnity (1944), The Ten Commandments (1956), Daisies (1966), Killer of Sheep (1978)

this is jokes and it is funny but deeply reminding me how grateful I am to have a parent trying to get to know me in real time like adult parent to adult children 🥹🫶🏿

Like… we’re right here

No messiahs, no messianic approaches of abrahamic organized thought, no saviors, the power is in the hands of the masses, the collectives, the locals, the counsels, the elders, the youth - i do not pray to a Supreme God, I pray to ALL the Gods found in the wind, the ecology and

Transphobic, fatphobic, and dumb. What a combination

yo 😭 and still be wrong
