As Inspiration From Joan Didion I’m Buying Coca-cola In Bulk And Idk If I Should Get Cherry Coke, Diet

I watched this movie during lunch because I have no friends /j and it turned out to be a really interesting documentary.

I know it’s from 2013 but it got me more into Cantonese films lately, I might seek some recommendations from my mom. Ngl, I always used to think that exclusively media from Britain/France/Czech Republic “fit my personality better” 😭 And I’m half Chinese so I always found it easy to just ignore that I’m Chinese. But I’m so into the Cantonese film lore now.

that’s my girl 😌😌 (2nd favorite journalist from this time period)

I think that her book/interview with Hitler ranks up there with one of the best nonfiction journalistic books of WWII/Great Depression. I think a lot of people criticize her for calling him a “little man” without realizing that on paper in the 1930s it was easier to predict that Hitler was nothing more than an egotistical little man. Like it was kind of hard to see this coming from the earlier stages of Germany. From a critical perspective, it was easy to call off his behavior as ridiculous, we all would if we were in these early stages of his time period and didn’t know what was to come. Unfortunately, so many people did not know what was going to happen. It’s hard and complex to understood the psychological desperation of the German people and whatever was going on there.

Just my perspective towards Dorothy Thompson’s analysis of the Nazi Regime and the hate that she usually gets for predicting that Hitler’s ridiculous behaviors wouldn’t go far. Anyways, very early on she realized her mistake and published many articles opposing Nazism, also her article Who Goes Nazi? is super well-written.

So from a prospective journalism major I don’t support any hate towards her. There was nothing she could do to prevent WWII anyways.

btw sorry if you guys don’t wanna read a tumblr post about Hitler at like 7 am, I’m doing an article commentary on normative transgressions according to the Evers typology, so global politics has been on my mind a lot ｓｏｒｒｙ

On 25 August 1934, Dorothy Thompson (pictured above) becomes the first American journalist to be expelled from Germany by the Nazi regime.

omg !! My sister is in middle school and they just did the Wizard of Oz as their school musical, she did the set design which was very cute ^^

Anyways, I love this movie because I find the Tin Man relatable, also why’s his name Hickory ;-; And recently I was researching Dorothy Arzner and I think she was close (?) with Billie Burke so that’s cool.

Billie Burke in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)

“My favorite role was in The Wizard of Oz, directed by the great Victor Fleming, in which I played Glinda, the Good Fairy. I never played such a being on stage, but this role is as close as I have come in motion pictures to the kind of parts I did in the theater.” —Billie Burke

(From With a Feather on My Nose by Billie Burke and Cameron Shipp, 1949)

I really hate when people mystify intelligence as some innate or supernatural ability rather than the willingness to read books and consider different perspectives. Anyone with enough time, training, and preparation could become a professor. Stop seeing knowledge as arcane rather than as a skill anyone can develop.
