"this idea that one must control oneself and stop being so FULL of self remains a dominating theory around mental illness, and, perhaps tellingly, around other patriarchal laws and narratives, including the ones governing and disciplining literature."

Shelley Duvall Crying For Two Hours Straight is so important to feminist film theory/everything.

i can’t hold this back from tumblr any longer: when i was in college i dated one of stephen king’s sons and i called my parents to brag and got them both on the phone and, simultaneously, they were like: “does he look like stephen king?” whatever, mom and dad. for a month of my life i was thisclose to some of the most important #feminist crying and #feminist violence of the postmodern age. also, i would go buy books at barnes and noble and be like, my boyfriend’s dad’s face is on this bag. my mom told me when i was in buffalo “you said you broke up with him because he was competitive and immature.” what? it might be time for me to watch the shining again.
