You can’t burn your bridges with people who are committed to racism. The bridges never existed in the first place. That’s hard to understand for people who don’t have to navigate at least one situation a week where they or their loved ones are treated as subhuman. But it’s true.

1 & 2 are my favorite movies with her in them. 💜 Tho I did kind of want her to get it on with Bobby Duvall on the side

putting the *most* neurodivergent/adhd of the siblings in charge of all the funeral stuff is a LOT. However, I found this paper when my dad joined the Navy and both my son and I misread #2 as "fighting", which...accurate

Naval intake form - listing
Dancing - Fishing - Target Shooting as my dad's "Leisure time activities"

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

If you don't own this book, buy this book. Read it. Give one to your friends. It's perfect.
