ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW

Although the band detest her, everyone else sided with Bianca Jagger over Jerry Hall. People were outraged that hillbilly was chosen over sophisticated, stylish, intelligent Bianca. After having the audacity to be a shameless mistress, prancing around the streets of New York City. Hence Bianca Jagger is the one referenced culturally, i.e Capote Vs. The Swans. Never forget she’s his only wife, while Jerry Hall was duped into a fake marriage. A relationship he was all too happy to leave after 22 years, no wonder Luciana Gimenez is his favorite. Do note her millions of followers, because beauty is power (Melanie Hamrick is ugly, nothing is going to make her interesting or her influential like the rest of us).
Feel bad for that hoe? Luciana Gimenez is Jerry Hall’s karma multiplied, down to having his favorite child. Where’s the lie? Via: 70sRomantics, Nick Chique, Marie Claire Italia, Getty Images & Pop Art Trio

“His ba liked to tell his boys the story of how some of their people took their degrading start in the Americas and turned it on its head. Back in 1854, he told them, some of the men working on the Panama railroad got so sick they vomited a blackish bile and their eyes turned yellow. Many of the Chinese laborers who’d been brought over to work on the railroad project demanded to be sent away to a safer place. Some of them ended up on the island. Already weakened by hard labor and illness, few of them would survive for long. One of those who did make it went on to open a wholesale supply store, setting a precedent that encouraged other Chinese immigrants to do the same.”

What we don’t need is the state of Florida. Keeping em dumb is the goal.
I know where I won’t be going. Station Eleven & Parables Of The Sower. Miss me with the post apocalyptic bullshit. For real. If I need a horse to pull a gutted out taxi, I don’t need to be alive. I’m too high maintenance for any of that. I need my mani/pedi’s, hygiene, wine, coffee, screens, weed, Target, phenomenal food, sugaring, etc…I’m not even a bitch to backpack. Goddess of civilization, society, events, museums. If you can do all that, more power to you. That’s just a no for me dawg. Via: Books Of Brillance

No joke, until recently I hadn’t watched Jaws in over twenty years. As a child I was scarred by this film, convinced sharks were lurking on every beach waiting to devour me. Was it as terrifying as I fossilized it to be? Let me tell you the suspense is timeless, a cinematic masterpiece. Bravo. But absolutely everything about the way they handled the situation was wildly inappropriate. Nobody called the government for proper equipment or resources, furthermore almost everybody was wasted out of their minds. I’m surprised more people didn’t die with their reckless drinking. That’s what stuns me most. Honestly, I don’t even think Sheriff Brody’s wife knew where she was half the time, she certainly never knew where her kids were. Absolute booze hound.
This is why no black people were involved in the hunt. Prone to being easily spooked, we’re the gatekeepers of common sense. Nigga I’m not getting on no small rickety ass boat to chase a shark of that magnitude, entrusting a man who can barely form a sentence without slurring. Leaving me to ponder who’s the real villain, the misdirected shark, or the rampant alcoholism permeating the island? Via: HBOMax
Sometimes you just have to pour yourself a glass of red wine and side eye bitches, it’s how I stay young. When I think of Jesus turning water into wine for free, I’m like damn, y’all weren’t worthy. Like if that’s not love what is? Meanwhile, I’m interrogating anybody who works at Trader Joe’s about the status of their wine shop. Y’all gonna do it or nah? Stop playing reindeer games.

“There have been many occasions when Veronica’s been treated like a second-class citizen, so she understands the bad taste it puts in your mouth. She knows roasted nuts won’t erase the taste, but she hopes the gesture tells the woman that she’s not alone. Veronica has had her ass pinched and slapped too many times to count. The same goes for men telling her to smile, as if the arrangement of her features, or her mood, is any of their damn business. She’s had guys causally lean into her as they pass her in the aisle, so their hard penis presses against her hip. She’s regularly referred to as “sweetheart,” “darling,” and “baby.” She’s paid the same salary as Luis, even though she’s the chief flight attendant and he’s only been in the industry for six months. She’s been leered at by men floating in a sea of vodka tonics, and she’s had work—which she excels at—criticized by men who seem to be simply looking for a sport to pass the time.
Veronica knows how to handle these situations, of course. Not allowing men to diminish her, shining her light straight at them, is perhaps her greatest gift.”

Perhaps I’ve never understood myself more than Howard Suber explaining the patterns and overarching themes that make films timeless. Why do we, as a culture, rewatch certain movies repeatedly? What makes them forever relevant? If you are to understand anything going on, start by watching The Power Of Film on HBOMax. You don’t have to take color coordinated notes like me, that’s that ElRo! ElRo! But pay attention to: heroes vs. villains, seizing control of your destiny, power of paradox, love and meaning, chimera, triangulation, and compare it to what you’re seeing now via me.
Apocalypse in Greek means revelation, all is not what it seems. Things appear a certain way, but it isn’t so. The book of revelations is the most popular biblically. Howard Suber made me aware that we are living this moment. Storytelling is everything to humanity, expressions of souls, parables of the universal laws are found there. Sorry not sorry AI art isn’t really art, but I’ll save that for a different article.
Growing up we had this forest green treasure chest, with gold trimming, filled with movies. Causing me to view them as sacred. Going to the video store was sacred. At first my sister & I had to agree on a tape, eventually we were able to choose one each, the highlight of our weekend. If my parents got one thing right, it’s my love of art, music & cinema specifically. It’s part of why I’m so eclectic, as their taste is a testament to their time passed down to me, expanded and shared. I devoured films, even minoring in it (read Who Is Serge Becker?). All is not what it seems. Who possesses the tongue that The Rolling Stones use as a logo? What does Kali mean? Who are her Greek & Roman counterparts? Who is California named after? Start there. Enjoy your time, those who aligned on the side of evil. Via: HBOMax
