look and sound insane. like a bunch of the time when i do this the laughter that comes out just sounds deeply inappropriate. it's not adult-chuckling-at-a-sitcom laughter. it's loud and giggly and childish

i say "insane" but also a bunch of the time when i do this people are incredibly charmed by it, i've gotten that comment separately from two completely different groups. apparently it's really good vibes lol

there are a lot of thonks to be had about how it is we learn growing up how much to laugh and when. i think about the way people giving speeches can sort of cue laughter by making jokes that are not exactly funny but just good schelling points for laughing together

one of the several things we learn is that it's good to laugh at the same time as other people and very bad to laugh at different times. that was definitely one of the most painful parts about watching the joker movie for me

Joker:All Arthur’s/Joker’s Laugh Scene

it's one of the most consistent motifs in the movie: there's something deeply wrong with arthur fleck and you can tell because he *laughs in the wrong ways at the wrong times* and it unsettles everybody around him

a four-year-old hasn't learned yet that there's a wrong way to laugh (at least i hope not, god)

I often feel like laughing when I'm sharing smt vulnerable in an important conversation. I used to contain it in fear the other person would think I don't value the situation, but now I just let myself laugh and explain that I do it precisely because I value it so highly
