Falsettos Is Wild Because It Will Make You Feel Every Emotion There Is On The Spectrum Of Human Emotions

falsettos is wild because it will make you feel every emotion there is on the spectrum of human emotions but then also there is a song where they go LATE FOR DINNER LATE AGAIN LATE FOR DINNER LATE AGAIN LATE FOR DINNER LATE AGAIN LATE FOR DINNER LATE LATE LATE LATE and it's a goddamn banger and that song shows you how the main character is shaped by sexism and gender roles and internalized homophobia and how his lover is trying to slap some sense into him and how his ex wife doesn't understand him leaving her because she did everything "right" according to gender roles and that it's his fault for not appreciating her enough meanwhile her psychiatrist is in love with her and trying to make her see that Marvin leaving her was actually a good thing "be grateful that it's come to a stop" like what musical does it like falsettos. late for dinner late again

i say this in all seriousness, a great way to resist the broad cultural shift of devaluing curiosity and critical thinking is to play my favorite game, Hey What Is That Thing

you play it while walking around with friends and if you see something and don't know what it is or wonder why its there, you stop and point and say Hey What Is That Thing. and everyone speculates about it. googling it is allowed but preferably after spending several minutes guessing or asking a passerby about it

weird structures, ambiguous signs, unfamiliar car modifications, anything that you can't immediately understand its function. eight times out of ten, someone in the group actually knows, and now you know!

a few examples from me and my friends the past few weeks: "why is there a piece of plywood sticking out of that pond in a way that looks intentional?" (its a ramp so squirrels that fall in to the pond can climb out) • "my boss keeps insisting i take a vacation of nine days or more, thats so specific" (you work at a bank, banks make employees take vacation in long chunks so if youre stealing or committing fraud, itll be more obvious) • "why does this brick wall have random wooden blocks in it" (theres actually several reasons why this could be but we asked and it was so you could nail stuff to the wall) • "most of these old factories we drive past have tinted windows, was that just for style?" (fun fact the factory owners realized that blue light keeps people awake, much like screen light does now, so they tinted the windows blue to keep workers alert and make them work longer hours)

been playing this game for a long time and ive learned (and taught) a fuckton about zoning laws, local history, utilities (did you know you can just go to your local water treatment plant and ask for a tour and if they have a spare intern theyll just give you a tour!!!) and a whole lot of fun trivia. and now suddenly you're paying more attention when youre walking around, thinking about the reasons behind every design choice in the place you live that used to just be background noise. and it fuckin rules.
