“My sister’s boyfriend, Fox, on his last day of high school. The sun was setting, and he and his friends were all playing around. I caught him in a moment of reflection.” By Petra Collins
“ I arrived on the film set of Call Me by Your Name an hour after landing in Milan. I was tired, jet-lagged, and needed an hour to rest, but my driver took me directly to a square in the town of Pandino where the film crew was assembled and preparing for a shoot. […] I’ve arrived at the most difficult and, perhaps, most important scene in my novel. Three minutes later, in a single tracking shot, the climactic moment of the film is done. This was the “avowal” scene: a moment when Elio finds the nerve to tell Oliver, though very obliquely, that, despite what everyone thinks, he “knows very little about things that matter.” […] It had taken me two whole days and five pages to capture the diffident dialogue between the two would-be lovers. But Guadagnino had distilled it in just a few minutes. They shot it three to four more times. For me, the message was clear: film cuts and trims with savage brevity, where a shrug or an intercepted glance or a nervous pause between two words can lay bare the heart in ways written prose is far more nuanced and needs more time and space on the page. But the thing is, I couldn’t write silence. I couldn’t measure pauses and breaths and the most elusive yet expressive body language.” - André Aciman
so as some of you know i quit my job because my ex roommates were stalking me n i had a donation post for that situation. the goal was reached (tysm☀️☀️☀️) but i have a new issue. so my landlord has our least set up so that the 2 months rent that we put up counts for the 1st month’s and the last month’s rent when both me n my roommate assumed it was going to be for the 1st and 2nd month like we had talked about so that’s why I’m a bit uhh stressed. If seeing donation posts annoy you or anything like that then that’s just gonna be it!! You can just unfollow if it bothers you that much but if you’re intrested in helping me then please reblog and/or donate!!
my rent is 800 total but i have a roommate so my portion is 400. i have the old donation for rge n house stuff (once again thanks!)
