18 Best Quotes from Sex Education Season 3

0

Netflix’s hit series Sex Education recently released its third season and has already been renewed for a fourth. The beloved characters continue to grow in season 3, beginning their transitions from adolescence to adulthood. Otis and Maeve’s sex clinic has been abolished, along with the asbestos-ridden bathrooms, but the new headteacher introduces a new set of problems to the students of Moordale.

The show continues exploring sexuality through a lens of humour, which makes the serious issues easy to watch and understand. Dialogue is a big part of the comedy in Sex Education, and even the more stoic characters like Rahim get their fair share of memorable quotes. However, the story also tackles some darker topics, especially in Aimee, Lily, and Jean’s season 3 storylines. Here are eighteen of the best quotes – whether comedic or empowering – from season 3 of Sex Education.

  1. Ruby (in a flashback): I’m early 2000s Christina Aguilera.
    Otis: Very cool. I’m macaroni cheese.
    Ruby: Shut up and have sex with me.
    Otis: What are you sad about tonight?
    Ruby: I’m a teenage girl, Otis. I’m always sad.
    Eric (in the present): Wait. Why were you macaroni cheese?
    Otis: That’s not the point, Eric!
  2. Ruby: You are a badly dressed stick man with a creepy mustache.
  3. Aimee: But all the flour, it’s making me constipated. Last week, I didn’t do a sh*t for five days. Then when I finally did do a poo, it was like my bum had this gigantic orgasm. Oh, it was great.
    Maeve: Your stories are so special, Aimes.
  4. Adam: I watch The Kardashians with my mum.
  5. Aimee: I just wanna be the old me again.
    Jean: Well, you may never be the old you, Aimee, but that’s okay.
  6. Jean: Do you feel that if you hadn’t smiled at him, he wouldn’t have assaulted you?
    Aimee: I don’t know.
    Jean: Had you smiled at strangers before?
    Aimee nods.
    Jean: And had that lead to them assaulting you?
    Aimee shakes her head.
    Jean: 
    Listen to me, Aimee. What that man did to you on the bus has nothing to do with your smile or your personality and is only about him. And it is absolutely not your fault, do you understand?
  7. Ruby: I love you.
    Otis: Oh. That’s nice.
  8. Rahim (reading poem): I shed blood over what?
    Adam: You fell over?
    Rahim: A rectangle man so unremarkable. A boring horse. Its blah-blah eyes never open, never closed. His head shape so average.
  9. Adam: It was my poo, sir …
    Rahim: No, it’s my poo …
    Jackson: I also poo sometimes.
    Mr. Hendricks: Oh, God, don’t we all? I mean, what is this, Spartacus? Maybe it was my poo. Maybe it’s Miss Sands’ poo! She’s more than capable.
  10. Miss Sands: When I decided to be a teacher, I dreamt of helping students fulfill their potential by gently drawing out their inner creative gifts. Instead, I’m plunging their sh*t.
    Mr. Hendricks: You’re majestic.
  11. Otis: What are we gonna eat? I’m hungry – all the time! I’m panicking. Are you panicking?
    Maeve: No. We’re not gonna starve to death, Otis …
    Otis: Okay. This is bad. This is very bad. How do you say “help” in French … Adage! Je suis adage! (I am help!)
  12. Aimee: Right. Steve, you’re in charge of vulvas from now on. If anyone asks, the wobbly bits aren’t mistakes because …
    Steve: All vulvas are unique.
    Aimee: Good lad.
  13. Aimee: … I’ve been thinking about how you don’t really have a proper mum, and I want you to know that even though my mum has money, she’s also crap sometimes, too. So, I was thinking that we could be each other’s mums.
  14. Aimee: I wanna stand up for what I believe in more.
  15. Jakob: People deserve your whole heart, Otis. If you can’t give them that, it’s better they know. It’s the kinder thing to do.
  16. Viv: Because when shame is used as a weapon, it doesn’t just hurt people – it can damage them forever.
    Jackson: But the opposite of shame is pride.
  17. Eric: It’s like we’re in Ocean’s Eleven, innit? Maybe I’m George Clooney and you’re Brad Pitt … I’m Brad Pitt. You’re George Clooney.
    Otis: I’m Andy Garcia. If I’m anyone.
    Eric: Who’s Andy Garcia?
    Jackson: Okay, well, I’m gonna go while you boys hash that out …
    Eric: I think that Jackson is Rihanna in Ocean’s Eight. Cause of the bone structure and the eyes.
    Otis: I’ve not seen it.
    Eric: No? It was very good.
  18. Eric: You’re incredible.
    Ruby: I know.

Jeff Tweedy Shares New Songs ‘C’mon America’ and ‘UR-60 Unsent’

Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has shared two new songs, ‘C’mon America’ and ‘UR-60 Unsent’, as part of the latest Sub Pop Singles Club 7″. ‘C’mon America’ is taken “from an unreleased group of songs with mostly sci-fi lyrics,” while ‘UR-60 Unsent’ is described as “a pitiful tale of an unsent lovesick mixtape, taken from a separate batch of unreleased songs with mostly pitiful lyrics.” Take a listen below.

In addition, Sub Pop has also shared TV Priest’s ‘All Thing’ as the B-side to their contribution to the series, which features last month’s ‘Lifesize’ as the A-side. “‘All Thing’ is a subversion of the Anglo Saxon word for parliament or meeting (Althing or Thing),” frontman Charlie Drinkwater said in a statement. “It asks questions about the power of groupthink and ideas of nationhood that have become static, non-inclusive and singular.”

Fall Trends: Nine Must Have Fashion Accessories

It’s official. Summer is over, and therefore all the trends you’ve spent the last few months adhering to are now done and dusted. It’s now the fall, and that means a whole new number of fads to get used to, and the good news is that we are here to guide you through the ever-changing fashion maze.

The fall is perhaps the best season when it comes to accessories. The varying weather and conditions make for something of a mixed bag when it comes to fashion. It’s the season for layering and complex decision-making that can include buying glasses online.

It’s the time to pay close attention to the weather each morning you awake; maybe it’s going to be a bright and sunny day, or could the overcast or colder weather influence your outfit choices in an entirely different direction?

So, want to know what the seven hottest fall fashion accessories for 2021? Then read on…

Oversized Sunglasses

This fall, you need to be wearing sunglasses that make a statement; the bigger, the better. In fact, it’s not a case of being ‘bigger’ as such; it’s about being oversized (and there is a subtle difference). 

Look for big frames, and if you are shopping for your kids, or yourself, then you should check out what GlassesUSA.com has to offer. Remember, it may be the fall, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s less sun around (and you can blame climate change for that), so there’s plenty of time to get some serious hours in while wearing some fashionable specs.

Supersized Hoops

It appears the fall is all about bigging up your accessories; that’s certainly the case when it comes to earrings. Try to go for nice large hoops when picking out your earrings for both day and night.

One option is to go blingy here, golds and silvers, and this works well for a night out on the town or with the girls. Maybe for morning weekend strolls and work, you might consider bright-colored hoops that are more playful than showy.

Logos

Gone are the days when you would be introspective about the names and brands you are wearing. Now you should wear those names with pride. Tell the world what you are wearing, especially if the garments you are adorned in are by big names and fashionable outlets. 

Usually, you get the most action out of logos with bags and belts, and don’t go at this in a half-hearted manner, show off with no regard for the fact that you might look like a walking, talking billboard.

Brooches, Brooches Everywhere

Yes, there was a time that brooches were associated with your aunt or grandmother, but they are now well and truly a style accessory for every age. This style seems to have had the roots of its renaissance firmly pinned to Sex and the City and the combinations that a certain Carrie Bradshaw wore.

You can look to go with silver and gold for the more austere and upscale look or more down to earth if you are looking to do things in a more reserved fashion.

Opera Gloves

Now, some fashion trends can be predicted, and others go round and round in circles and seemingly never leave us. Opera gloves do not fit into either of these categories. We are not sure how or where this style accessory trend came from, but we wholeheartedly approve.

Opera style gloves come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, typically extended to the elbow, and can be worn as a high-end statement or in a more bohemian/hipster style. The added benefit here is for those who are still very much in the COVID-19 mindset, with the gloves offering protection of sorts.

Hobo Bags

This trend comes hot on the heels of the summer’s big tote bags and is another one of those trends that is very suitable for those of us who simply can’t leave home with every item imaginable. 

Again, go big with this choice and maybe look for a hobo-style bag that has tassels or some other form of detailing that makes it a little bit less staid and workmanlike. If you want to be more robust with this accessory, then consider bright, vibrant colors or textures that make the item stand out.

Vintage Headscarves

Silk scarves were the height of the summer accessory choices, and now we move seamlessly to vintage headscarves. These are ideal for the ever-changing season that fall tends to bring us. Clearly, you can pick these up in a good retro store or thrift market, but this could lead to you spending hours trying to find the one that suits you best.

Instead, you can just pick up a ‘new’ vintage headscarf, and that won’t be too hard as most fashion outlets on the main street are now selling these. Similarly, you can pick up a great selection online. 

Quilted Handbags and Sandals

What can be more luxurious and decadent than quilting? When it’s applied to sandals, you get the benefit of comfort twinned with the effect of looking like you just stepped off the runway.

Quilted handbags work best as either cross-body styles or as clutches and if you want to be extra chic, then look for a bag in monochrome leather. 

Pearls

Yes, pearls are still very much in at the moment. We were bombarded by this item throughout the summer, and it’s still working its magic in the fall. So, how best to adopt this trend?

You can go for a nice pearl choker, especially effective with evening wear, or a nice necklace or pearls as part of a professional work outfit. Basically, if you are wearing jewelry, then consider pearls as the mode to channel.

Awesome Things You Can Do For Fun While On Vacation

We all love to get away from it all and take a vacation. Whether you want to relax on the beach or explore an ancient civilization, there is so much for you to do when you’re on vacation. But many people forget about the most important part: having fun! In this blog post, we will talk about awesome things that anyone can do while on vacation to have a great time. Check on the list below.

Get Sporty at the Sea Shore

When you go to the beach, it is always a good idea to bring some gear with you. You may want to pack your swimsuit and sunglasses, of course, but if you’re going for an extended stay at the seashore, then consider bringing along some extra items as well.

For example, you may want to bring along a beach ball or an inflatable raft so that you can have some fun in the water. Or maybe pack your snorkel mask and fins if diving is something you enjoy doing while on vacation. Whatever it might be, having extra gear around will help ensure that everyone has enough entertainment options available to them.

Enjoy Smoking Some Weed

What’s even better than taking a nice break from your everyday life with your friends and family to relax? Doing it while smoking some weed! Look for the top favorite smoke shops that offer a variety of good weed from reputable companies. You can enjoy smoking it while hanging out with your friends or even exploring the city you’re vacationing in!

Just make sure that there are no children around wherever you decide to smoke up and be respectful of others who may not appreciate being near cannabis smokers. Also, check on restrictions in the city you’re in on where cannabis smoking is permitted.

Ride a Bike

Many people spend their vacation lounging around on the beach or by a pool, but that doesn’t mean you have to do that as well. Many cities and towns will offer bike rentals so your entire family can go for a bicycle ride together. Not only is this one of the effective exercises, but it’s also a ton of fun! So pack up your bags and head on over to the closest bike rental shop.

You can take a spin around town or even go for an extended ride out of the city to see some sights you wouldn’t be able to otherwise! Remember that while biking is fun, it’s essential to stay safe, so make sure everyone knows how to ride a bike before you go.

Participate in Local Fun Events

Many cities have fun events going on all year round, so it’s essential to do some research before you go. For example, if there is a local music festival or parade planned for your vacation, then be sure to attend! You can also check with the hotel staff to see what other festivals are being held around town while you’re there.

Just make sure you don’t overdo it and participate in too much fun because you’ll need to go back home at the end of your vacation! But overall, have a great time while on vacation by participating in some local fun events available for everyone.

In conclusion, having fun on vacation is an essential part of your trip. Make sure you pack extra gear, smoke some weed, ride a bike and participate in local events, all while having a fantastic time!

Bush Tetras Drummer Dee Pop Dead at 65

Bush Tetras drummer Dimitri Papadopoulos, better known as Dee Pop, has died. He was 65.

Born in 1956, Dee Pop has cited Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, and Keith Moon as some of his heroes growing up, but it was Tommy Ramone who would influence him to start playing despite not having any formal training. “I did all the usual things aspiring young drummers would do, like play on all the pots and pans in the kitchen and beat endlessly on my school desk with pencils and rulers,” he wrote. “From as early as I can remember I’ve always been infatuated with the drums and music.”

Dee Pop was best known as a member of the American post-punk band Bush Tetras, which he joined in 1979. Though the band did not achieve mainstream success, they were an influential part of the New York no wave scene as well as college radio in the early 1980s. In addition to playing with Bush Tetras, he also played with The Clash, Richard Lloyd, Can’s Michael Karoli, The Gun Club, Jayne County, and more.

In a statement, Pop’s surviving bandmates Cynthia Sley and Pat Place said:

It is with great sadness we report Dee Pop, drummer for Bush Tetras since 1979, passed away in his sleep last night. Dee Pop was a quintessential New Yorker, growing up in Forest Hills Queens and living in New York ever since. He was not only Bush Tetras drummer, but also our archivist, owning an original copy of every Bush Tetras release and t-shirt and also maintaining the band’s masters. In addition to Bush Tetras, Dee Pop played with Richard Lloyd, Michael Karoli (Can), The Gun Club, Jayne County, and The Shams, William Parker, Eddie Gale, Roy Campbell, Freedomland, Hanuman Sextet, Radio I-Ching and 1000 Yard Stare. Dee Pop is survived by his son Charlie and daughter Nicole. He will be sorely missed by his bandmates and the many people he touched throughout his life. Rest in peace, Dee.
