ADVISE & CONSENT (1962) dir. Otto Preminger
This political drama depicts the debate sparked when controversial candidate Robert Leffingwell (Henry Fonda) is nominated as U.S. Secretary of State. As concerns are aired during the Senate investigation of Leffingwell's qualifications, Senator Brig Anderson (Don Murray), the head of the committee, soon finds himself being blackmailed over an affair that he had with a fellow soldier Ray Shaff (John Granger) while they were both serving in the army during World War II. A worried Anderson visits Ray in New York and meets him in a gay bar.
The movie pushed censorship boundaries with its depiction of a married senator who is being blackmailed over a wartime homosexual affair, and was the first mainstream American film after World War II to show a gay bar.

1962.
Newsweek called Otto Preminger's Advise and Consent "one of the most reprehensibly sensational movies in years."

my little brother got rejected at the blood donation center earlier this week, because he's a neurodivergent man in a specialized infrastructure and had a nurse help him understand terms like HIV etc. they immediately assumed he wasn't in any capacity to give consent for himself and it's actually pissing me off so bad
he can hold a conversation just fine. he can read more or less properly, writing is still a bit of an issue but he gets by with enough efforts. he has such a kind heart that the moment he turned 18 he was set on donating his blood and took every step with his caretakers to do so. he's the first to volunteer when someone needs an extra hand. he's funny, stubborn, and everything that makes someone unique and human.
they didn't give a shit about that tho, nor did they even try to figure anything out, because he's neurodivergent and needs someone to help him in a stressful situation with medical talks with which he's not familiar. so the doctor refused the minute he entered his office with his nurse. this is going to be his life from now on, apparently
but yeah, i guess neurodivergent people have it easy etc etc

18-21 for the movie asks
18. A movie you never wanna hear about again
Any of whatever they're calling the latest Star Wars trilogy. Had no interest at the time, have no interest now, don't believe I'll have any interest at any time in future.
19. A movie you look forward to watching (could be an upcoming release or not)
The answer to this is rarely ever an upcoming release (I sadly pay much less attention than I used to to the cinematic goings-on), and it changes constantly between my collection that I've neglected for far too long. Right now? Honestly, I think it's been way too much time since I last watched 'Casablanca'.
20. A movie you think looks beautiful
I can't think of a single shot from 'To Catch A Thief' that isn't positively gorgeous.
21. A director you think is underrated
I don't know if Otto Preminger is underrated, precisely... but it doesn't seem like he's a name that pops up when people kick around the Top 5 of the Golden Age - and I'd say he should at least be in the conversation?

Do you have aftercare fic recs because I am INTERESTED
hewo. honestly most of these are just... repeats of my consent bookshelf (which I need to update bc there's a couple fics recently I've wanted to add) so,, sorry abt that lol.
okay, so, if you're looking for a fic that is solely aftercare, may I offer you aftermath by an anonymous user (my villain origin story). This is a lashton fic with no smut! Just aftercare!! I think it's absolutely beautiful <3
And this fic isn't technically aftercare but it is some gorgeous Ashton centered hurt/comfort so, legally, I have to mention it: Ildsjel by Anna ( @ashtcnirwin ). It gives the same vibe as an aftercare fic to me. And, also by Anna, obviously I have to mention Tie That Binds which I'm gonna assume you've already read but if you haven't, is a must read if you enjoy aftercare!! I think specifically of my beloved chapter six <3
And, also, I don't know if this is really an aftercare fic but In The Dark (Like Meteorites) (mashlum) comes to mind as just a fantastic D/s fic that I have reread many times and focuses on aftercare.
And also we're both showing hearts !! which is a lashton fic I really love. Once again, fantastic D/s dynamic.
If I can recommend one of my own fics, I'd say that my spanking fic Constant (lashton) has some nice aftercare !! There's definitely heavy emphasis on it.
I'm sure there's lots of other fics that have wonderful aftercare that I can't think of atm (and probably haven't read!!) but I hope that gets you started!
And also if you're just looking for some nice, soft sex (read: explicit hurt/comfort) might I interest you in two of my favorites: rhythm (lashton) by Amanda ( @lifewasradical ) and let me take care of you (cashton) which are both Ashton-centric and make my brain buzz in the most delightful happy way.

Thinking about for real starting a writing blog to stretch my writing ability and sort of use as a public journal.  I’ve had this Tumblr for sooo many years, and I could just use it, but it doesn’t necessarily feel designed for that. Any platform I’ve been on for a long time doesn’t really feel like the right place for it. Feels like maybe suddenly making my friends see long personal posts would be strange. So maybe I’ll make another Tumblr or use Wordpress? Is Wordpress supposed to be a professional feeling blog platform? Is there something better?  Semi-professional/semi-marketable I suppose is a plus.

playing dmc1 with my earbuds in (but on low volume bc they're being weird) while my roommate and her shitty bf argue. i feel like i'm recreating the very specific experience of some child of divorce out there
#how do i tell her she needs to break up with him immediately. posthaste.fuck it funny post over rant incoming tw emotional abuse i think#nyarla dni#(<- roomie and nyarla have met and i don't wanna air roomie's drama to ppl who know her w/o her consent. anon internet ppl only)#listen i'm normally for gentle advising and that's probably what i'll do since i don't want to stress her out but oh my fucking god what is#his problem. he's constantly putting her in these weird no-win situations where the only right answer is to never be upset or disagree or b#wrong on accident or be misunderstood by him and to tell him everything she's feeling so she's not 'playing mind games' but if she says wha#she's feeling he'll interrogate her and badger her with the same questions over and over again insisting she's unreasonable until she gives#in and says she's sorry with an attitude he likes. i fucking don't like him. and a lot of this is observations from today. the day after sh#GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND BROKE HER NECK. WHAT THE FUCK.#it's like he expects to be treated like a king on one of the worst days of her life and when she's upset he's like OH. OH I GET IT.#and lectures her on having attitude and taking things out on others when she's literally not even doing that. not to an extent that matters#anyway. like. there's more productive ways of dealing with that. where you don't treat them like a bad kid for getting overwhelmed#he has made her cry multiple times today. i have been around multiple arguments and fights and he's just genuinely. awful i hate him#hell the first argument i overheard *i* was in tears by the end (luckily they left soon after bc i had to run to the basement laundry#dungeon to bawl my eyes out because 1. i can't handle confrontation 2. i've never seen roomie cry and 3. she just seemed so hurt and tired)#anyway he just left again after a fight because. god this is so dumb. she told him to move while they were sleeping in the same twin bed#(remember she's in a neck brace) and he fucking. left the room for an HOUR bc he thought the only thing that could POSSIBLY mean (as he#insisted) was for him to get out of here and then when she was like oh hey i'm sorry i didn't mean it like that he decided to spend the nex#half hour of his short time on this earth chewing her out for not giving him a lengthy explanation while half-asleep as to like. why he#needed to move (she wanted to grab smth) and apparently he sat in the chair by her bed for like 10 mins before leaving so he probably saw#her fall back asleep. and then he got pissy when after he left she didn't pick up her phone when he was calling her? even though he knew sh#was asleep?? she didn't even know he was gone. fucking. i need to get him away from my roomie YESTERDAY#look. miscommunication happens. i'm not saying he's an asshole for wanting things said clearly. i am pro-saying what you mean.#but if every time your gf tells you what she means you make it into a 30 minute lecture (no matter how small the slight and w/o examining i#you're actually right or not) she's not gonna wanna fucking tell you if she doesn't think it's worth the argument. especially if you never#let her rest until she concedes. apology isn't enough. clarification isn't enough. she has to say how wrong she was and beg and GOD. UGHHH#and he's always on about how she hurts his feelings. a gust of wind could hurt his feelings. he's constantly berating her manipulating her#and then he's like >:( see that hurt my feelings you can't hurt ppl's feelings. you're disrespectful. HE"S THE WORST I FUCKING HATE HIM#look sometimes adversity reveals the truth of a person and this just amplified his shittiness so much. mr OH i slept in a HOSPITAL and it#was so bad... you can't be in a bad mood bc i've been doing the bare minimum and you need to prioritize MY feelings rn. also i won't leave
