Have you stumbled upon my page looking for info on THE X-FILES Season One Close Reading Project? Well you’ve come to the right place. Expected start sometime in Jan 2025. Bookmark this thread for more info as I gather materials and make a “syllabus”. 👽

I say that for any office job, your goal is to get really good at doing the stuff they pay you for within 1-2 hours (you can spread it out over the day) and use the rest of the time for some prime bullshit and fuckery.
@Sophgiannamore
This is one of many many reasons why we need to listen to children and treat them with more respect and deference than our society does. The vast majority of the time they know what they want/need, what feels right, etc. You knew you were female. Period. End of convo. ❤️

What the fuck. They couldn’t find some other place to film? Netflix throws gobs of money at that show, just build on a soundstage.
@IBJIYONGI
Also, PBS needs to start rerunning episodes of MISTER ROGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD. Kids need not only the messages and lessons of that show, but also the way he did it, that deliberate pace that allowed kids to think and reflect.
@JoshuaPHilll
I think he was already radicalized by the very dint of his family and upbringing. The racism and antisemitism was already there, all the other far right signifiers fall into place easily from there.
@aliciacamden
Is it sad that I don't even need the sound, I just know based on your movements which song is playing because I've seen SMS so many times??? I need to know.
@beckyjane02
I remember my parents surprising 5 year me by taking me to see it in the theatre. My mind was blown.
And the film totally holds up as an adult.

From what I've read, he won't be sent back to prison, at least not in the immediate future.
My heart goes out to Hae's family, esp. since I want to real killer to be found and sent to prison, but I think her family has had tunnel vision since Adnan was zeroed in on...
@ZeroSuitCamus
They also don't get that something can be camp and still deal with serious subject matter in a way that treats the material with respect and still communicate the ethical and social import of the nominal inspiration of the plot.
@EmmaTolkin
I loved that. I loved that this studious actress who prob signed up for an Oscar nom ended up making something no different than the schlocky made for tv movie we saw earlier in the film. Top 5 Todd.

@MrProfChanda
Why does SNL keep platforming these ppl??? Trump, Chappelle, Haley.... and let's not forget all the former Trump admin staff who have been rehabilitated by appearing on late night shows and landing jobs on The View and MSNBC.

I am living vicariously through Otto. I have surgery in two weeks to remove a nasal polyp that may be the cause of a whole host of issues I've been having for a while. I hope I'm as strong and brave as he is. ❤️
@Evanryt
I love how they hired so many 90s That Guys to be members of Elwes team purely for the moment they are all on the side of the road and react with horror as their boss's vehicle (and their boss) gets blown up real good after being sucked up by the F5.
@TheRaDR
Jew magic is the most powerful force in the universe. For some it is the sabbath candles, others matzohball soup, or the call and reply in shul, or a black and white cookie….
@miriamkp
For sure. I stop where the denotation of the footnote is, read the footnote, and then pick right back up with the main text. It’s a nice little rabbit hole journey.
@TheRaDR
Libraries are the only truly non-commercial third spaces we have left in this country. Their existence is imperative for a diverse, educated, active body politic. So many social services have their lifeblood in the library.
Protect our LGBTQIA librarians and patrons. ❤️
@EmmaTolkin
You need to see THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE STOLEN PAINTING by Raul Ruiz from 1978. It is about a group of fictional paintings and an enigmatic puzzle that supposedly connects them. It’s fascinating. Full film:
@tashakaminsky
This is beautiful. My dad died when I was 23. May their memories be enormous blessings to us and our families. He's looking down on you, smiling, and doing whatever idiosyncratic thing he did that you loved. ❤️🌈
@dordotson
You have the best stories. This was def filmed before Gena died (see Winona's comment abt PAT GARRETT which came out before her death) + she would've prob been bawling as we all were, but even more for her. Their segment beautifully opened NIGHT ON EARTH, one the best films ever.
@Maladroithe
I think this could be fixed by nixing the piping and the boarding school-ish badge as well as making her skirt the same color as her top and making the bootpants black.
Now I know what it's like to be Tim Gunn. Make it work people! 🤪
The entire show has been amazing so far, but tonight I get to see the insanely talented
@Isabelvsandoval
work her magic on UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN. It’s a real treat. ❤️
@tashakaminsky
Not banned, but when I was two or three I stole a little stuffed Snuffleupagus from a KIDS R'US. My mom found out and had me go back in and tell them. But for some reason she bought it for me anyway which is a weird thing to do parenting-wise.

My first year of Hebrew School coincided with the release of SCHINDLER'S LIST. I asked my teacher if G-d helped us all these times in the Bible, why didn't they help us during the Holocaust. I don't remember her answer but that was a big moment for me.
@LexiAlex
And now George W. Bush is going to be throwing out the first pitch at the World Series tomorrow instead of being in a jail cell. I love this civilization.
@yxakirves
You know, we have that stereotype where men really know how to rock the fuck out, but for my money, the most rock and/or punk things have be done by women artists/musicians. The only exception is when Hendrix lit his guitar on fire. That's it.
@simonegender
For me, your identity is really whatever the fuck you want. At the end of the day, it is feeling comfortable and safe in your own skin. And thus, as people who live together on this rock, it implores us to stand together. To be a beautiful organism. To share our heartbeats….
