millennials are now getting the horrors of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans behind the shows we grew up watching.
what a time to be alive!
/s

there are gonna be future generations watching the 20s and shaking their heads too.
influencers?
this political climate?
music for the drug addicted and suicidal?

there was a time when we watched america’s next top model as pure entertainment.
we laughed.
we quoted it.
we argued about winners like it was the super bowl.
so many iconic memes and gifs came from that show like:

we didn’t question the cruelty because we were focused on being entertained.
did we really believe those vixens would become top models?
we sure did,
the same way we believed other shows would create idols,
survivors,
and millionaires.
watching “reality check: inside america’s next top model” on netflix felt like…

“i’m not an idiot, henry.
you told me that you sucked that guy’s dick at Winchester!” – yasmin

“darling,
that was school, okay?
it’s basically prison.
everyone gets a pass for that.
you can be a homo at school.” – jon snow

so i loveeeeeeeeeeeee “industry” on HBO max.
i didn’t get into “succession” but i got into this heavy.
i love how every season of that show continues to become massive.
the show started off about the finance industry,
and i didn’t know wtf they were talmbout those first 2 seasons,
but it has become much more than that as this story progresses.
many are upset the anti-hero is a black vixen so that makes me support more.
last sunday’s episode was titled,
“oh henry“,
and one of the characters got exposed in a way that got me thinking.

they were on top of the world,
making money with their new company,
but had to resign after being blackmailed with a secret sex video.

not only a secret sex video,
but a secret sex video with someone underage.
the blackmailers sent the video to their email to get them in line.
so this is what has been sitting on my mind heavy.
hypothetically fonting on this fine tuesday…

i’ve come to the conclusion that we have all become miserable.
that president of ours isn’t helping matters either.
these folks got all the money in the entire world and living in pure misery.
they miserable cause they rich; we miserable cause we ain’t got it.
i had to wonder if being wealthy is all it’s cracked up to be.
so i went to a superbowl party last night,
and cue my own misery,
was bored out of my mind…

i was OD waiting for pillion to be released.
it stars alexander johan hjalmar skarsgård and harry melling.
we fonted about it ( x here ).
here i thought i’d have to wait until it was in the movies.

…and then i saw HD GIFS of scenes from the movie.
my favorite.

i read the book,
“box hill” by adam mars-jones,
and ended up hating that experience.
so when i watched the movie from the comfort of the temporary home,
i instantly noticed the differences.
i’ll try my best not to font too much spoilers…

after the jill scott x erykah badu “verzuz” when we were locked down in the rona,
someone defined them as:

“jill’s music is thank you for the experience.
erykah’s music is thank you for experiencing me.”

that continues to live rent free in my head.
jill scott had an interview with angie martinez that also lives rent free in my head.
she touched on a lot of points.

one point she brought up bought up the whole building in my head.

“dom/sub“ (dominant submissive)

that is what jill described herself as.
the first part is how you move through the forests,
while the second part is how you want to feel in love/sex.
a “dom/sub“ is…

first of all,
i love “industry” on HBO MAX.
i randomly started watching it when it was heading into the 3rd season.
binged it in like 2 days or so.
its got the sex,
drugs,
and “something to nothing” shit i love.
highly recommend even though when they start talking finance and stock shit,
i am always left feeling confused.

last night,
they came back for their 4th season.

Foxhole:

IT WAS GOOD.

i needed that energy especially after what i’m dealing with.
there is a scene that i’m still thinking about.
this is kinda spoiler but not really.
it doesn’t give away a plot point but…
