For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM

Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).

It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Noticing the joy, calm or even mundanity in little, everyday things, in the face of all these big, awful things may seem pointless at the least, but it is a recognised technique for helping sensations of anxiety and overwhelm, so I will continue to do it for myself and for you. x x x

We have only one thing that the government needs: our labor. And we can withhold it. Otherwise, we are outgunned and outmanned.

That is the only real strategy. Minnesota has set the example, in freezing weather.
