This is genuinely something I've been thinking about and trying to learn/re-learn recently.

Friendship is a burden. but that doesn't make it a bad thing.

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

BEING POSTED NOW!! Like any 77 year old worth her salt, this lady has character and lead a full life. "Hungry Hill" by Daphne De Maurier, published in 1944. Research has led me to believe this is the first U.S. publishing but I'm unable to confirm it. $40 (link in bio) #daphnedemaurier #rebecca #hungryhill #darkacademia #giftsforbooklovers #vintagebooks #literature https://www.instagram.com/p/CXIAwfrlgKZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Simon Wilder: You asked the question, sir, now let me answer it. The beauty of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The beauty of the Constitution is that it makes no set law other than faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves.

Professor Pitkannan: Faith in the wisdom of the people is exactly what makes the Constitution incomplete and crude.

Simon Wilder: Crude? No, sir. Our "founding parents" were pompous, white, middle-aged farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. Sure, they'd make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. The president is not an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's just a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum.

This is one of the best movies from the 90's and deserves way more recognition. Despite what these pictures and the publicity for this movie will have you believe, Brendan Fraser isn't the main character. (I'm not complaining about the eye candy though) Not really. The real star is Joe Pesci as Simon. He has the best lines and the frankly better character arc.

One of the things that kills me about this movie is that in the exchange above, the other person in the conversation is played by Gore Vidal. Yes, THAT Gore Vidal. Essayist, Public intellectual, Bisexual, Said gross things about the Roman Polanski case, had fueds with Truman Capote, William F. Buckley Jr., AND Norman Mailer, Had alleged love affairs with Anais Nin AND Fred Astaire, Gore Vidal.
