Writing about fashion. Writing about other things. Zoë not Zelda. She/her.
This movie is from 1995, and I was a teen who observed Columbine.

Fear of immigration in many generations.

Fear is a thing that American voting is based on.

When I still lived there, I would just walk to a lot of places. Or hop on the bus or a train.

It's why I started taking the train to the North End to hop on the MGH shuttle to Spaulding.

Having spent a month there in a lot of cars to go visit my mother in the hospital, I can tell you that the city proper is not built for driving. Lol.

She would also be great as the one human actor in a Muppet movie.

I feel like Michael Kors could do a pretty good job.

I went to private school and actually appreciate Ralph Lauren collections generally, but the Olympics stuff just feels stale at this point.

I wish we still had the number of black newspapers that existed back then. And newspapers in Yiddish and various other languages of immigrants.

On another note, the best way to examine wars is through the lenses of history, politics, race, and religion. Any nerd who has read a lot about wars knows this is always the case.

And both deal with immigrant communities.
