Letterboxd reviews in general are just kinda deflating if you're looking for real discussion about the films. 85% of the reviews are just attempts at witty quips to gain likes

Ok i might as well throw out my idea for next list but don't wanna go through with it unless I feel everybody's on board

Been wanting to do a Best Albums by Female Artists (all genres/decades) since before announcing 21st century list. I feel like every predictable outcome for these lists has been male artists and if I went back and did the math, it's mostly male artists. Especially in the earlier decades. I genuinely think it'd be a very interesting list because we wouldn't know what to expect.

Lemme know what y'all think. I think we all have different favorite female artists and it would be a varied list

Not to be a party pooper, but I’m just not interested in breaking down my taste by the identity characteristics of the people making it. It’s an interesting idea and I’d be curious to see the results, but I probably won’t be participating.

I've seen three concerts in three days: The 1975, Little Simz and Weyes Blood. I could talk about all of them at length, God, I'm so blessed, but tonight deserves a longer post.

Perfume Genius opened for Weyes Blood and was one of the best opening acts I've seen. He's just different at this point, so much confidence and camp and he has an incredible discography after all this time. 52 minutes and not a second wasted.

Between sets though...man. Saw my ex and we haven't talked in a year I've talked about her before. She's the BPD girl who changed my life and gave me so much self confidence, only to snap and accuse me of rape and try to ruin my life. This show was at the f***ing Greek so the odds of being in the same line at the same time isn't great, but it happened.

Bro I was SICK. I hate that another person still has that much pull of my emotions, it's actually embarrassing, but she still does. Nausea, panic, everything, and yet I still have a lot of love for her and it took everything to not run over to her and embarrass myself. I reached out to a friend who has been through something very similar and he calmed me down. Thankfully, I got out of there without ever interacting with her again.

And then, you know, there was still a Weyes Blood set to watch. I bought some overpriced whiskey once my ex was out of the drink line, got to my seat and started crying. The people around me probably thought I was nuts. The first song Natalie plays is It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody and bruh I was f***ing gone. She has to be one of the most beautiful people on the planet and every second of that set was sublime.

The whole set I was just like

The final lyrics of the night were apropos:

Picture us better
We finally found a winter for your sweater
Got a brand new big suit of armor, it's tough
Since you left, I've grown so much
If I could have seen you just once more
Tell you how much you're adored
There's no point turning more
Waiting for the call from beyond
Waiting for something with meaning
To come through soon

Anyway, I have a lot of s*** I need to work out that I thought I was over but clearly not! I'm going to write for a while and go to bed.

Never even interacted with them on there. I think I just dunked on one of their reviews on twitter and they somehow got wind.

I have one of those exes floating around town still don't cry but get embarrassingly, visibly flustered whenever I see her (my gf noticed this despite all attempts to hide it and part of my soul died). Was only with her for 3 years which was like 7 years ago now but first love s*** never goes away.

holy s*** dude the third paragraph is one of my worst fears.

I think I mentioned this in a recent post but I have a cousin with BPD and she's been to the psych ward 250+ times. I have amazing sympathy for someone like that but would never date them.

glad you had a good time tho ultimately.

That's horrible.

This girl was seeing a therapist but it sounded like they were friends and he kissed her ass all the time, which is worse than having no therapist at all because it empowers f***ed up behavior.

She was prescribed Lexapro but she only took it when she felt like it, which is not how Lexapro works.

Jut like most mental afflictions, It's a horrible disease to live with. Especially when it's severe. That's really all I have to say in that regard.

Still, doesn't excuse what she did to you. That's awful that any therapist would do something like that but do you know if she's telling the truth about the therapist given what you said before? (that's a personal question you don't have to answer btw)

She said to me once, quote, "it's nice to have a therapist who is like me," that is, Salvadoran. She literally would not listen to a therapist who wasn't either queer, of her ethnic heritage, or both. So she valued that personal connection over hearing the truth about her behavior.

The think about BPD is that it can be "curable" in the sense that much of it stems from trauma and does not always necessitate medication. It depends. You can make a lot of progress with CBT. But it's important that you want to change and aren't just there performatively.

I'll only say this once but my friend and tattoo artist killed himself a few months ago after getting a Metoo allegation that he said was egregious/untrue. The Brooklyn tattoo scene is extremely progressive so once the allegation came out his life completely unraveled and fell apart. All his best friends/mentors/coworkers turned on him without even questioning if it was true. Regardless of what he did or didn't do, he was one of the best guys I ever knew...

RIP Ryan

Damn dude I'm sorry

My friend who I turned to last night had the same thing happen to him and he's persona non grata in the SoCal hardcore scene. He won't go to shows or anything. He's a great person who cheated when he was starting a new medication after a car accident that left him depressed and unable to run. It destroyed his social life. People still periodically track him down on social media and attack him.
