- My fairly benign tweet from this morning is really popping off among Brazilians. Highly recommend “I’m Still Here” that features, at its center, an incredibly moving performance from Fernanda Torres.Did a double feature of I’m Still Here and The Substance yesterday, and all I can think about this morning is I’m Still Here
- Yes I’ve always been struck by the similarities in the authoritarianism that took hold in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile among other places around the same time.
- It’s fucked up for you to suggest that it’s even close to similar when nobody is being randomly disappeared. Get your facts right
- Replying to @drunkinmillaIt does feel like very scary times here. Idiot President supported by the richest man in the world, gutting the government of its civil servants and othering anyone who isn’t a straight white male.
- Replying to @drunkinmillaI read that some Brazilians are still mad about Fernanda Montenegro losing the Oscar to Gwyneth Paltrow? Hopefully her daughter can make up for it this year!
- Replying to @heyjunneTell me, is the whole country getting behind this movie?
- Replying to @giovanakuryIt’s true. I assume many people in Latin America still rightfully hold resentments against the US for this very reason?
- If you ever want to have incredible Twitter engagement numbers, tweet any random thing about Brazilian cinema
- Replying to @SailorJuh7Among the many evil things the USA has done in its history, supporting oppressive regimes and forcibly uninstalling democratically-elected leaders in Central and South America in the name of “stopping the spread of communism” is particularly wicked.
- I’d love to see your evidence
- Horrified that I just might see every single DC gay I’ve ever encountered at the @DUALIPA show tonight
- I want the world to know that my boyfriend, a recent college grad, got a job today IN THIS ECONOMY😊🥳🔥
