ok I take back what I’ve said about contemporary art. This is amazing.

THIS is what art is about. I bitch about modern art a lot but the problem I have is that most of it (and I've worked in a museum and been an art student) is bullshitting. It is only sometimes you get shit like this, that is 0% bullshit and 100% raw screaming emotion that is demanding you LISTEN and FEEL and CONFRONT. This is art. This is what art is about. Are you mad? Are you horrified? Are you uncomfortable? GOOD.
As part of that discussion, why did a single company seemingly provide a major component of our information infrastructure with no regulations, protections or backup?

like to charge reblog to make airbnb die faster
airbnb used to be a nice little side gig for when people had an extra room they wanted to rent out for an occasional weekend because their kid went off to college, or to let people stay in their camping cabin in the off-seasons, just simple hospitality and such. but then the landlord types got the big idea to buy up properties and do all that stupid nonsense in attempts for profit, and since hotels would fill up quick in vacation cities, they did have “success” in that for a bit. and then they just bought more and more and made things worse until hey guess what, everyone’s sick of your shit and there’s vacancy at hotels again.
landlords can get fucked
The funny part is that this is literally just the free market working. If your thing sucks, people can decide to not buy it
But I’m tired of giving myself over to the idea of fate and trying to figure out what the universe wants from me. I wanna live in the moment, I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow. I wanna be with you, Jane.

Hm. Your interpretation of this character displeases me. Guards! Take them away! Make them read the source material once more, and if that fails, the stocks.
*gathers all of the people in the world who write the number 7 with a little dash in the center of it so I can study them like little critters and find out what makes them do that*
I just. I have to marinate myself in Crimson Peak costumes to calm down
I love the hats when hats should be worn
(If your homoerotic tension is happening outdoors, HATS. Actually Thomas doesn’t have a hat on in this scene, but I’m sure it’s near at hand. Unlike the ladies, men didn’t have hats pinned to their hair, so they could take them on and off briefly with greater ease.)
I love the hair being down vs. up for storytelling rather than whenever you want the actresses to have Beachy Waves.
Hair is up because daytime!
Hair is down because sleep and/or brother-fucking time!
I love how incredibly period everything looks, to the point where even more artistic details often have historical precedent
(Party scene from the movie- look at Edith’s dress)
(Portrait of Ava Lister, Baroness Ribbesdale, by Boldini, c. 1905)
most of my dress history friends agree that, if we were told the film costumes were extant garments from museum collections, we’d readily believe it
it’s such good costuming. the color stories, the shapes, the willingness to really lean into the period, the appropriateness of each garment for its context…truly the anti-Persuasion 2022
FWIW I did a week of background on this film and even though I barely appear on screen (I’m one of the tiny specks of people walking down the hill by Edith’s ear in gif one) I still had to go in for a day of wardrobe fitting in advance, and we were consistently on set 4 hours ahead so they could deal with everyone’s hair, hats, and corsetry. For the background people you barely see! This film took the details SERIOUSLY
