Titanic x Twitter
Twitter following the storyline of a James Cameron film is WILD
This won’t get cut off in your email because I don’t have a lot to say this week ‘cos I’ve been mega busy so the only demand this week is for you to give yourself a kiss in the mirror
LOL SO — I’ve been like wildly busy this week and probably will next week too but also didn’t have a chance to watch many movies because I have been catching up on telly. I will say I watched Natural Born Killers for the first time and WAS NOT FUCKING EXPECTING THAT!
Also this is happening:
The world of media (which is my world ‘cos duh) has been in a bit of a tizzy this week cos of the Twitter drama. It may seem weird that it’s so connected but it’s not weird at all. It’s been dope to see how many Black folks, especially Black queer folks, got their start in journalism and media because of Twitter. But it’s been equally as sad to see them talk about how they are worried about what the changes on the site will do for their careers.
I’m a positive Patty so while I am smart enough to know that all this shit is a tad scary and will def cause some massive shakeups in media — I am also positive that we will all do what we need to move with the shift and in the end it will all work out for us in the best of ways in the end.
Happy Friday <3
As always you can find this info on my Letterboxd buuuuutttt still.
What I Watched
You’re The Worst
WEDNESDAY — ITS GREAT ITS GREAT ITS GREAT ITS GREAT I CANT WAIT TO TALK ABOUT IT I KNOW I HAVE BEEN PART OF THE TIM BURTON PROBLEM SINCE I WAS LIKE 10 AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER BUT IDCIDCIDCIDC
Again — no one reads TUDUM from netflix because they are SHIT at marketing it BUT it often has really great pieces on it and this one gives a really dope timeline of all things The Crown 1-4 in case you’re as excited about season 5 as I am.
Speaking of The Crown season 5, I’m watching it and UHOH….I’m not having a great time and I am not finished BUT so far I am up to episode 5 and:
The Peter Townsend storyline wrap-up (3/5)
The chat about Fergie but only seeing her like 3 times and giving her zero lines (4/5)
Lesley Manville as Princess Margot (5/5)
Attention to detail when it comes to bringing Diana’s 90s wardrobe to life (3.5/5)
Tampongate being put to that beautiful part of the score LOL (5/5)
and lastly - he is not my cuppa but I do agree with this:
What I Re-Watched
Welcome to Flatch — I know people hate this show but it’s golden and I hope it never goes anywhere.
Will & Grace
The Crown
The IT Crowd
Derry Girls
What I Listened To
<3
The Read
Spotify recommended this song to me and now I cannot stop listening to it, it’s like when I was listening to “Twist of Fate” 30 times a day
Vibe Check — A podcast I got turned onto this week and i had no idea Saeed (
) was part of it! It’s great!
What I Read
This article with some wildly low percentages on how many Christian women have had sex with other women — EVERYBODY IS LYING. (also I fucking know only a small amount of folks were surveyed, that queerness is often hidden in Christianity, and da da da and I still think THIS IS FUCKING LOW)
The article mentioned in this tweet is very old but I still read it and also agree like — this is very not new news.
This isn't really new. Okcupid released very similar findings over a decade ago. It's clear, on dating apps that target all races, the only people who want black men are black women. . . and black men want everyone else.this dating app data from facebook dating is CRAZY https://t.co/LMF5bdQmR0

Lol why did Winston Duke follow me on Twitter? I KNOW that I do not talk about him that much on the interwebs!
