i’m posting two lol bc this one is a true masterpiece. the main shot is 27-minutes long — the siblings are mostly on a phone call, so they show who they’re calling a few times but otherwise you’re watching that long take in one piece. you can feel the intensity and emotion of this scene through the screen. linking a cool break down of it by the director!

Recommending the show overall because it’s probably my favorite ever, but this is a notable episode for me because it explores a core theme of the series: your family members are just people. The episode—like most in the series—has many subplots, but I care most about Claire visiting her aunt/Ruth’s sister Sarah in Topanga Canyon. At the end there’s a beautiful, silent understanding between mother and daughter during a tense, tumultuous time in their lives. There are other episodes that really get to the meat of their dynamic, but this one stays close to my heart because of its subtlety and, of course, Joni Mitchell.
*It’s an HBO series so you can watch it on Max

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on

a million times cooler than the lackluster “sleek” tech color palette used today
