I knew I recognized him from somewhere.

I have no idea who he is, but this is my favorite quote ever, as someone who's both a goth/punk poser and works in cybersecurity.

    he wrote and directed the musical Hairspray and the movie Pink Flamingos. Both of which are worth it if you don't have a predisposition to hating campy, lgbtq+ or musicals.

    John waters. As a young straight kid in a religious household in the south he was the first person that showed me there can be humor that involves lgbtq+ people that isn’t hateful or dismissive, followed by David Sedaris. And strangely enough it was through comedy that I first felt empathy for people I had been indoctrinated to hate. He’s definitely out there and quite honestly a lot of his stuff isn’t to my taste but he’s got some great material

    I still love how a movie about hackers completely made up what they thought hacker culture might look like, but instead of laughing off a bad Hollywood film hacker culture embraced this invented asthetic and hasn't really let go since

    I recently watched that film for the first time and holy shit that movie has aged like fine wine and makes me nostalgic for a bygone subculture that never really existed in the first place

    Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their... Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don't want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can't shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.
