You again?

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

an angel on letterboxd just dropped a whole playlist of films free on youtube I was filled with so much love and light I had to share with you guys

it also includes short films, animated movies, documentaries of every genre, full recordings of live performances. all spanning different decades from different countries. YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING KNOW

there are also websites like worldscinema, solidaritycinema, and rarefilmm hosting incredible obscure world cinema for free! and if you're more inclined towards the esoteric, there's also evilbjork's avant-garde canon playlist on youtube! also important to mention Maya S. Cade's incredible black film archive and the otherness archive, an obscure queer cinema archive! You could always be watching more films !

Good titties, I mean- evening.

To whoever's idea was that Captain Hook's first appearance should be with his titties out... they should get an award, they deserve it.

Everyone stop what you're doing and think about women

the "canon isn't real we make our own rules" to "i am begging you people to revisit the source material" pipeline

#you have to know the rules so you can break them with intention and precision#otherwise your work will never be truly transformative

Made a wallpaper of this (pastel and bright version!)

Oh this is sick, I like it

Reminds me of this quote that I've been keeping with me today

- Albert Camus

Banging on the walls chanting "OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ACA THRU JAN 15" like some deranged town crier. Election results aside, you have options to access healthcare as a RIGHT through the ACA. NO one can dismantle the Affordable Care Act in less than 4 years, so SIGN UP! GET YOUR CARE! USE THE SYSTEM!

You have options RIGHT NOW that will be stable thru the next year, the one after that, and I'd be shocked to see them shrink even the year after that. That means RIGHT NOW you can get signed up for next year to gain 100% covered preventative care (your annual check ups, pap smears, dental cleaning, vision check). You have the option to get checked and screened as you need, do NOT be dissuaded from exploring ACA choices. They are SOLID, LEGISLATED, and WORK BEST WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM.

I can't change most things around me, BUT I CAN tell everyone I know that THEY CAN GET LIFE SAVING CARE. THEY CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY CAN GET PREGNANCY CARE. THEY CAN GET CANCER CARE. AND THEY WILL GET THAT CARE!!!!!!

SIGN UP BY DECEMBER 15, 2024 FOR COVERAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2025. ENROLLMENT AFTER 12/15/24 WILL HAVE COVERAGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025.

FOR MY FOLKS IN GA:

There's been a recent switch from the normal Marketplace portal to a new Georgia specific one called Georgia Access!

Here's the link:

If you already have Marketplace, you've probably already received a couple emails about this exactly. They'll send you a code that you can use to link your former Marketplace account to the new Access portal OR if you can't find those emails, just follow this link here and use your SSN instead to connect from Healthcare.gov! You're gonna want to choose the second option of "Consumers with an Access Code or Using SSN". (I found that actually they ended up renewing my same plan rather than me having to go and find an entirely new one which honestly? Such a score.)

You can also enroll there even if you DIDN'T sign up for Marketplace insurance by clicking the first option of "New Consumers". Make sure to follow the steps and enter your income for pre-eligibility screenings to make sure you're eligible for Exchange plans with the tax credit.

(I know that they push for options of brokers and assisters on the main website but I can't necessarily speak to that. Be wary with whoever you sign up with and put your information in for. I know a couple folks who I have reason to believe utilized brokers who had their data sold and now receive stupid amounts of spam calls so if you feel comfortable using the portal above to directly choose your own plan, I'd recommend it! And if you do use a broker or secondary website and see the options if Speridian, Benefitalign, or Inshura on there, DO NOT FUCKING CHOOSE ANY OF THEM. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM MARKETPLACE FOR SCAMMING AND DATA SELLING.)

Anyways, go forth and get affordable healthcare while the option is there!!

Tiny additions with a few helpful links:

- Quick guide breaking down the basics of health insurance:

- Clear and concise glossary to look up any terms that you're not really understanding (because there are many):

- Fun (bit of a long) Video that also goes over the above!

Okay! Finished now, I promise!

"Well somebody clearly got the job." "Yeah. Gabrielle."

detransitioners i love u btw. ur wonderful and valid and i hope you felt safe in this community while you discovered yourself. you're not a "failed" trans person, you're a successful you. and that's far more important <3

and to the detransitioners who have inexplicably decided their bad experience or change of heart gives them the right to attack the trans community, to call for the eradication of the people who cared for you at one of the hardest points of your life:

i hope you learn to forgive yourself. you know you are being used as a pawn in this and i hope one day you turn away from the people using you and your experiences to further their own hatred. let yourself become useless to them, forgive yourself instead of blaming us.
