Everything everywhere all at once is a film about a girl ripping the entire universe apart just to find a part of her mother that she feels understands her. And everything everywhere all at once is a film about a mother ripping the entire universe apart just to understand her daughter. And my chest feels like it’s caving in when I think about it too long
it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.
why would you come to this club and just shoot Myers & Briggs like this
IMO, it’s healthier to conceptualize it this way. So instead of being like “why am I being so weird? I’m an introvert, I like being alone!” you say, “Ah, I must be supergluing googly eyes to my bathroom faucet because I haven’t met my minimum threshold of social interaction and I’m trying to fill that void with these tiny pieces of plastic. Maybe I should invite someone over for dinner. They sure will be surprised by all these eyes watching them while they poop.”
Something else I’ve noticed that’s extremely unhealthy is that people will attach their personality to “introvert” when in fact they seriously need therapy and intervention for debilitating social anxiety.
Also Myers and Briggs were eugenicists, so there’s that
so in case you haven’t been on twitter recently, q anon supporters and the alt-right are now circulating photos of a group of men they believe to be “antifa organizers,” but who are actually the indie rock band the national
and my personal favorite:
As someone who has seen the band a number of times and met the acquaintance of all the members I can confirm the National is actually a front to try and recruit simultaneously both sad gays and divorced dads into antifa.
I love to make songs out of some of those shadows - you know, some of the things you lie awake thinking about, social anxieties and romantic insecurities and all that stuff.
