One is old, served the US as a public servant forever, lost his family in car wrecks, to cancer and/or drugs; made decisions based on absurd centrism in the 70-90s.
The other wants to kill you.
One wants to go nap because he's been doing a humanitarian boat lift alone for four years.
The other wants to deport you, your family, everyone you love.

I don't know how to say this without pissing off literally everyone, but the Met Gala existing at the same time as the horrors of Zionism is normal, since cognitive dissonance is the new normal.
(And the theme of #MetGala was the decay of aristocracy no matter what.)
Art is essential. Nazis destroy art.
You don't have to like the MetGala because of its rarified exclusiveness, which is sound--but the craftspeople who labored for those beautiful--and many, on point thematically--clothes are artists.

Yesterday was depressing, wasn't it? I just keeping pouring my grief about everything into this delightful show.
So this thread👇👇👇 was me triangulating the movements of the writers based on the moon, the currents, and wind patterns. (sort of) #SaveOurFlagMeansDeath
I see that everyone is doing JUST FINE with the cancellation of #ofmd on this stormy Wednesday.
So today, in honor of this deliriously crushing breakup, I'll share some of my "Let's get into the brain of the writers" on #OFMD.
When you love something as much as I love #OFMD, no number of re-watches makes it stale.

I've seen #OFMD so often that I now watch it with an eye to details in the background or character notes that go by quickly.
My latest is Wee John patching up a fishing net in Season 1 under Izzy the Spewer but he knits adorbs sweaters under Stede.
Also, I haven't seen any mention of the after-credits of "Fun and Games (S2, Ep 4)" and y'all need to watch it.

I'm sorry, y'all, but if we're going out on this hellscape I need to drop some old truths. They're not fun.
Content warning but we're living it so... ?
I wrote this on another account, so it's not in its optimal form. We're going to push through the pain though.
