As we move into Hate Yourself Publicly Season, I also wish for us a year in which we have the courage to value ourselves for who we are & not hate ourselves for who we're not, a year in which we listen not to those who line their pockets with our insecurities, but to voices of tenderness & respect.

I'm grateful for independent media this year. Truly. I have appreciated coverage by too many to list.

They always seem to know when I'm going away for a while and they become extra affectionate.
Perhaps I smell different because before a big trip I'm always exhausted as I try to close all my open projects.

CinemaSins was fun…
Until toxic fans (and maybe the creators) stopped seeing it as lighthearted poking and started using it as a way to say a movie had nothing good about it.
If you over scrutinize any film you’re going to find flaws. Even Oscar winners. It’s all fantasy.

Should you wear a mask if you've got symptomatic flu? YES. If you wear it at home *from the onset of your symptoms*, your family members are much less likely to catch flu from you (but you must avoid unmasked co-sleeping and eating around same table - have your meals alone). 1/

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

The first two bullet points are jargon-dense :(
The key takeaway: Getting a booster that's different from your original shots, and choosing the updated versions that target current variants, gave people substantially better protection against COVID-19 infection

The change to vaccine requirements will kill children in the US.
The fact people can get get vaccines against diseases is a fucking privilege we get.
And this isn’t a “they voted for this” thing.
Those kids didn’t get a choice in this.
This disgusts me and I hope it disgusts you too.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

To this day I will choose to watch a movie I've never seen because I remember its cover artwork from the video store. Browsing through media, being open to its various possibilities, exposes you to the unexpected. It can plant seeds in the mind that may take decades to bloom.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
