Ooft netflix buying Warner is huge and scary in so many ways - like, just on its own, in an over simplified way you could say that the streaming wars have been all about who controls the rights to Friends (and other massive legacy franchises) and grabbing that with the deal will be massive

I’m not seeing my therapist until next month and I feel like sending her a text being like “girl just you wait some juicy shit is going down”, but I think if I did that she’d send me to brain jail

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.

"Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, with legislation to be introduced to parliament to ensure procedures are deferred until patients are old enough to consent to them." #aushealth

So cool to get Linda Hamilton for this season of stranger things, their casting is always so great

I would have slayed as a scheming vizier. My robes would have been so tight and I’d be so good at whispering tea into the queens ear

Yes I’m exactly the same! Giant baby with most horror. I think the big nods to 80s hero horror flicks really help

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

If my school bullied had dumped blood on me at the prom, I would have defeated them through rational debate

this is not a judgement, but i think the things that most dates this era in film and TV will be lip fillers. Kinda like how the feathery hair of the 80s dates that era, or the very thin eyebrows of the 90s

americans who have been to the UK or Australia and have watched Gilmore Girls, i need your help for something I'm writing - would a town like stars hollow have a "pub" or is that not really a thing over there? I have been to america, but not really to those kinds of towns

I’m a sucker for Stranger Things, I’m glad it’s back, even with all these weird adult teens. First episode is good
