    Lately, I find weather maddening. It’s either a non-issue mid-season light sweater weather, extremely consistent across all movies and films ever made, unless it’s a monsoon like downpour -but everyone is immediately dry unless it’s a plot point. Rarely, it snows, a snows that never settles, never gives any problems, never freezes anyone’s hands.

      When I was like 10 I read a book about film production and it mentioned that in some movies they use shredded pieces of paper for snow and I’ve never been able to unsee it.

      Like surely there’s a better alternative that isn’t asbestos

      I’ll go the other way with this – sunglasses. Yeah of course they protect your eyes, yes of course people everywhere should be wearing them in summer.

      But they don’t where I’m from. People just squint and avoid the sunlight. People wearing sunglasses have skeevy undertones.
