Glee conspiracy theory: Rachel was actually tone deaf the whole time & couldn't sing
have you ever watched crazy ex-girlfriend? all of the musical numbers are figments of rebeccas imagination, as the show is mostly from her perspective, we only see on a few brief occasions that she can’t actually sing in reality
as rachel is one of the ‘main’ characters, much of her storyline is told from her perspective, and she’s clearly an unreliable narrator with an inflated sense of self. when the story is from other perspectives, how she views herself is irrelevant
but what does she actually sound like then? of you look back at ‘laryngitis’ in season one, you hear what rachel sounds like without her ‘talent’. this was really just a slip up in her narrative, where she was too ill to manipulate her image and the reality of her voice is exposed.
so how does she get into nyada? simple. rich dads bribed her way in. the flash forward where she won a tony? grief induced fantasy created as a way to cope with finns death.
SEND ME A WILD GLEE CONSPIRACY THEORY AND ILL TRY TO DEFEND IT
Today is a 37st anniversary of the Chornobyl Nuclear Plant disaster. It's hard to talk about one unprocessed national tragedy while living through another.
The Chornobyl disaster was totally preventable and it took away countless lives of people living in the region, especially in Ukraine and Belarus - both the liquidators and the civillians. Despite the very air and dust being literal poison, the soviets had not only hid this information from the people, but forced everybody to partake in the May the 1st parade - because god forbid we lose our face before the international community as a working class paradise! If not for the nuclear scientists in Sweden who raised the alarm about the dangerous levels of nuclear particles coming from northern Ukraine, who knows what would have happened. It definitely would have been swepped under the rug and forgotten by the international community, together with its victims - just like Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan is barely known abroad.
With russia constantly threatening to turn Zaporhizhzha nuclear plant into second Chornobyl, the wound caused by this tragedy is cut open again.
We all love the HBO Chornobyl series, and I genuinely am grateful to Craig Mazin for the amount of empathy and respect he brought to the series; but for today I indulge you to watch something made by ukrainians, to try to understand what this tragedy means to us and how it influences our lives even today.
For the documentaries, my favourite series by this day remains the "Dragons live here" by Your Underground Humanitarian School Youtube channel, which, unfortunately, can only offer automated english subtitles - they should, however, be sufficient.

As for the feature films, I recommend "Gateway" (you can stream it online with english subtitles here). And here is the official english trailer:
hlasy v mé hlavě mi řekly že to mám udělat, takže.. tady to je.
není to úplně ono, ale nemám mozkovou kapacitu to nějak zlepšit.. možná jestli napíšu pokračování?
tohle je pro těch pár lidí tady na tumblr, co tenhle seriál viděli
One time I brought one of my rocks with me on a plane to touch to calm me down during the flight, but it fell out of my pocket on my way back to the bathroom and then as soon as i realized this they actually announced “did anyone lose…… . A rock” over the loudspeaker system.
When I went up to claim it the plane man, clearly unable to throw off the shackles of his training in the procedure of asking for people’s full names and birthdates when they come to claim wallets, said “wait no, first tell me what color it is so I know it’s really yours”
He seemed to realize this was stupid directly after saying it and kind of smiled like to make it a joke but the joke was on him bc I Described the fucking rock to him for like 30 solid seconds
mám míň používaný příjmení. (podle kdejsme.cz nás k roku 2016 nebylo ani 900, mužských a ženských verzí dohromady)
nikdy jsem svoje příjmení neslyšel v televizi.
až do včerejška, kdy si poprvé pouštím pár let starej seriál a po hlavních postavách řvou něco povědomýho. asi jsem hluchá, radši si googlím jména postav. a fakt to tak je. moje příjmení, poprvé. možná naposledy, kdo ví.
ale je to divnej pocit. cítíte se takhle taky když svoje příjmení slyšíte v televizi? furt jsem sebou cukal, že na mě někdo volá. upřímně, trochu mě to vytrhovalo z děje. a mám potřebu tohle všechno někam napsat protože to v reálným světě nikoho nezajímá ale já na to teď furt myslím. možná jsem jenom divná.
