jane austen was so lit because she wrote about men the way men typically write about women i.e. her stories just centered around women and men were only there for the sake of women, and her books could have been all bitter and sad about the state of women in that century, but instead they’re sweet honest observational stories of friendship, family and love *sighs* what a lady i am sorry i ever doubted you cos I was bored in high school
no seriously her books do not pass the REVERSE bechdel test and it’s perfect
Jane Austen never wrote a single scene without a woman present.
I…. Just realized this.
Awesomeness.

– my hair is long bc i’m too lazy or apathetic to cut it (or: my hair is short entirely bc it’s more comfortable/less work that way)
– i don’t wear makeup most of the time bc i’m too lazy or apathetic (or: i wear makeup to help conceal the fact that i’m hungover and/or sleep-deprived and/or haven’t showered in a while)
– the “smoky eye” effect is just bc i slept in this eyeliner
– i wear jeans and t-shirts (or one-piece machine-washable dresses) all the time bc that’s what’s easiest
– i don’t shave bc it’s too time consuming (or: i do shave, bc it’s required by my school/workplace/parents, or just bc other people give me less shit that way; or: perma-stubble: girl edition)

Finding Dory has a fantastic message about disability
For all the shit that’s going on with Me Before You, and the assisted suicide and the general message that disabled people are happier killing themselves, Finding Dory had the exact opposite message.
Dory learns to grapple with her short term memory loss. She’s never cured of it, it never goes away, but she discovers “her own little way of remembering” in the words of her mom.
She realizes that she doesn’t have to remember exactly what happened, as long as she can walk herself through why she’s there. “What would Dory do” becomes her mantra and helps her navigate.
Again and again the film reiterates that Dory can’t do certain things alone, and that’s okay. She recognizes it, other characters don’t force her to do anything she isn’t comfortable with, and even say that in those exact words.
Even a near sighted whale shark and an echolocating beluga whale discover the unique ways they can help each other, without “fixing” destiny’s eye sight.
And at the end of the film, without spoiling the general plot, Marlin realizes that even with Dory’s disability, she’s able to do some things on her own. Maybe she can’t ever live on her own, and maybe she’ll always need someone around to help her, but it’s okay. She’s her own fish first.

Being out in the ocean is actually so scary because when you look really far out you can kind of see how the Earth is rounded out. It looks like a few miles ahead you’re just gonna fall off or something.
Also fun trick: if ur on mobile, double tap zoom in and slide the picture side to side. It looks like you’re actually there looking left to right
DO THAT DO IT RIGHT NOW
