someone finally said it

I don't think USA peeps realise how much they dominate the cultural hegemony of the rest of the world, especially in English-speaking countries. We have to base our politics and phraseology around whatever you guys are up to (even when our problems are different to yours), we watch your films and TV shows, we listen to your music and we eat your food. Our leaders prostrate themselves before your leaders and beg for good trade deals, beg for military aid, beg for humanitarian aid, or an end to trade embargos. You guys can pretend you don't live in the most powerful country in the world, you can pretend you aren't the biggest exporters of both hard and soft power in the world, but we live with you in our ears. I could put on a passable American accent from the age of 10, and now the accents of my parents are getting harder to force my tongue around, but American accents are so ubiquitous that I will never have the opportunity to forget what they sound like. I can name 10+ cities in the USA, but I can't name the capitol cities of most countries. This is not a call to action, this is just a reminder: the USA is not the whole world. Other countries exist and have problems you cannot neatly map onto struggles within America. We have cultures and practices you might not understand, and that's OK. Just don't force us to conform to a very narrow view of American ideology and political theory. We aren't you. We don't have to be.

happy 21st of september people

my own private idaho is actually a movie about how so many things can change so quickly, how someone who you thought would be in your life forever could grow so distant over just a few days. the movie has SO many scenes of mike and scott being happy together in the first half and even beyond that, scenes where they just burst out into laughter or cause chaos and just spend time together; the only reason the movie is sad is because the ending casts a shadow of impermanence over the rest of the story. it’s like watching home videos of good memories from a distant past, or looking through old photographs of a time where things felt ok. the movie is actually about the overwhelming nothingness of life, there’s not really an “ending” in the real world that wraps stories up into little bows; things just keep going on and on. you just end up back on the road again. it’s just about the story of a few days where something big happens, even if it’s little in the scope of everything. but most importantly it’s a movie about gay sex.

my friend just became a cameron apologist!
