today my bf and i were talking about visiting my home for the holidays and i was (sadly) wondering aloud if i should cut my hair and our kid was like āwhy would you cut your hair??? your hair is coolā and not knowing how to explain it to him i said āmy family doesnt think boys should have long hairā to which he went silent, wordlessly pulled out his phone and then swiftly held it out with a picture of keeanu reeves on his phone

Wilder and Diamond were precise writers. But when it came time to Some Like It Hot’s
punch line, they were absolutely indecisive. They got as far as Lemmon ripping off his wig and saying he can’t marry Osgood Fielding III
because, “I’m a man.”What comes next? Diamond suggested “Nobody’s
perfect,” and Wilder said to keep it in so they could send the script to
the mimeographer. But then they were really going to settle it. “We
have a whole week to think about it,” Wilder said. “We thought about it
all week. Neither of us could come up with anything better, so we shot
that line, still not entirely satisfied.” Viewers felt entirely
differently. “The audience just exploded,” Wilder said. “That line got
one of the biggest laughs I’ve ever heard in the theater. But we just
hadn’t trusted it when we wrote it; we just didn’t see it. ‘Nobody’s
perfect.’ The line had come too easily, just popped out.”
Some Like It Hot (1959) dir. Billy Wilder
One of the many illegal films when drag gets banned.
Must watch. For anyone wondering about the Palestinian government or authorities outside of gaza. You should watch this, there is no one protecting Palestinians, they’re occupied and israeli settlers have the same green light to do whatever evil just as the soldiers. If someone can add a description I’d appreciate it.
DON’T SKIP. IMPORTANT.
Transcript: So I was talking to a Palestinian friend yesterday. He lives in the West Bank and he sent me this very scary image of a photo of him with a target on his face and he told me that this photo was found on a Israeli settler group chat, and there are other images of Palestinians circulating on this group chat, where they are basically hunting Palestinians and killing them. They have already been successful at killing some of the Palestinians in this group chat, and under the photos of these Palestinians they have their names, where they live, their age, their occupation. Basically they make up like, you know this person hates Jewish people, this person calls for the death of Israel. My friend works for a humanitarian organization. So they are making these false claims to justify them killing Palestinians.
My immediate response was to tell him that he needs to get out of town, to leave his city. And he tells me that there’s no way for him to leave the city because the IDF is patrolling the main roads and the Israeli settlers are patrolling the back roads. So for him to leave right now would be a suicide mission. And I think for many people, you would think if you were in his position, you would call the police or the army. Palestinians don’t have an army. Palestinians have something called the Palestinian Authorities and they work directly with Israel. They sell Palestinians out, they do not protect Palestinians. And this is the realisation of the experience of a Palestinian. That there is no one protecting Palestinians.
In this group chat where Israeli settlers are sharing photos of Palestinians, they have already been successful in killing some of the Palestinians. In the group chat that whose photos they are sharing. This is a very scary situation. And I wanted to share this with you guys. Because I want you to understand the gravity of this situation. There are people who are actively killing innocent Palestinians and there is no one there to hold them accountable. They are working in the favour of the Israeli government. The Israeli government is so far right that they look at these Israeli settlers, who are committing acts of violence on Palestinians, as their heroes.
Right now all eyes are on Gaza, which is very understandable. But there is something happening in the West Bank. There is a slow genocide and ethnic cleansing that has been happening for the past decade in the West Bank. And right now Israeli settlers, Israeli government and Israeli army are using this to their advantage. And I wanted to share this with you guys, because I want you to know that these Palestinians in the West Bank - they have no army, there is no Hamas there. There is no one coming to protect them. Majority of my Palestinian friends live in the West Bank. And I feel it is my moral obligation to try to do anything I can to save them. Even if it means just letting you know the truth of what is happening.
also: the white house comment line is open at 202-456-1111 (Iāve seen that their hours are T-Th 11-3 ET but I canāt find confirmation of that.) you may have to wait on hold for a bit (laughably they have the exact same hold music as my hospitalās billing department. we live in a society.)
so yes thank you for the catch! I wasnāt exact in my wording- the bill does have 4 billion dollars going directly to Israel directly, specifically mentioning Israelās missile systems. the other amounts are for the US DoD, although thereās also a 3.5 billion appropriation for a āforeign military financing programā which is explicitly stated to be intended for Israel, and another 4.4 billion dollars for āDoD operations and maintenanceā are explicitly earmarked in part as āreplacement of defense articles from the stocks of the DoDā¦provided to Israel.ā also, given that the bill explicitly states that the domestic arm up is for a response to Israel, I have absolutely zero confidence that they donāt want to send US troops over there as well as just US bombs.
(to be clear Iām adding this bc it is a good instinct to fact check the stuff you see on here! and I want to provide more context!)
also, while the 4 PM ET hearing is happening now as of this reblog, the vote is planned for Thursday so itās not too late to call!
once i said butch girls who call themselves dudes and boyfriends are cute and i got put on a blocklist for supporting “invalid identities” which is fucking hilarious. cant a guy dyke it up in peace in the privacy of his own home
was your late mother pushed off a cliff by a gang of roving boydykes?
