new documentary on hbo where paul reubens (famous for creating and playing pee-wee herman) spoke about his life before his passing. as a huge fan it was great to see and also a really hard watch at many points just seeing the way that he was somebody who tried more than anything to put pure love into his art and he succeeded in that and then hollywood eviscerated him for literally no good reason. the doc included some audio he recorded the day before his death and i cried so hard. he sounded unrecognizable and he basically was just saying he wanted people to know before he died that all he wanted was to spread love and glee to people with his art. he will always be such a huge artistic inspiration to me and pee-wee as a character will always be so important to me as an autistic person who saw myself represented in him. i'm so sad that we lost paul, one of the few true artistic geniuses. but we can still enjoy the amazing art he left us with, which is probably what he'd want anyway.

If you are a fan of even just β€œI wonder about that guy,” you MUST read it. The man was clearly a genius -- and all the puts and takes that come with it -- and it amazes me, all these years after his passing, how little we STILL know about him. Which is most likely exactly the way he wanted it.

no more beating dead horses when it comes to movies, tv shows, etc. the movie doesn't need a sequel. the show doesn't need to go on for 27 seasons. we need more stories that are written with an ending in mind from the beginning.

best thing you can do for yourself is become extremely comfortable with being alone and doing stuff by yourself. at a young age i forced myself to get comfortable with that and now it's my default state-- i LOVE doing stuff by myself. my coworker is a person who literally cannot go places by herself and i have been trying to help her get more comfortable doing things solo because it's very freeing. everyone should be happy to go do stuff by themselves, it's lovely!
