‘I’m Broke and Mostly Friendless, and I’ve Wasted My Whole Life’
oh, man, it appears that this post of mine got unearthed, so let me recommend a narrative (because, well, that’s my thing now, apparently) that serves as… let’s say an antidote for this way of thinking, namely: tuca & bertie’s most recent season (it got revived after getting axed by netflix, in case you haven’t heard!), which explicitly featured the haunted house analogy in its premiere episode, which is available on youtube in its entirety (!)
(spoiler alert: bertie might feel like a haunted house some (well, most) of the time, but that’s okay, actually. her fiancee is an architect obsessed with fixer-uppers, her best friend loves creepy stuff, so they don’t even mind. they still love her, even when she’s being her supernaturally-infested-and-falling-apart self)
also, do read the entire article! it features some good advice, but then again: ask polly is consistently great. i would highly recommend reading her (that is to say, heather havrilesky’s) books, too!

New Fiction 2019 – June
Godzilla: King of the Monsters dir. Michael Dougherty (2019)
I’m onboard for big character mash-up movies as much as the next man-child, but I wanna know a lot more about the titans introduced in this movie. It’s a lot of ‘em. It’s also one of those movies where so many people die constantly that I wonder what the movie is trying to do with the focus on human turmoil. It seems like the inevitable conclusion is a a society designed to appease the giant monsters. Skip forward a few hundred years and show that.
Tuca & Bertie (2019)
28th June – Tuca & Bertie is hilarious and weird, I love it.
29th June – Okay this show is even better than ‘hilarious and weird.’ Lisa Hanawalt’s voice is in everything. The focus on women’s relationships, on calling out shitty dudes, it’s all the kinda show we need to see more of.
Half the year already.

Booksmart dir. Olivia Wilde (2019)
I can’t believe we were watching shit like American Pie and thought it was good. This new generation of coming-of-age teen romp is so far beyond our garbage of the late 90s.
Half the year already.
