I didn't know what the Knicks meant. she/her

Last day of vacation + I need to do some annoying things (move stuff out of my living room so the contractors can start work tomorrow may be the LEAST annoying) gotta see how long i can justify 'watching tennis while listening to pod asts in my recliner with cat on my knee'

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

anyway I basically think it's good and fine for scholars to do public writing about their area of expertise, and the public debate that ensues is also good and fine. everything working as intended here! yay for robust critical discourse!

regardless of how you feel about christopher nolan i do not think it's true that she is "100% right" to claim a bunch of different individual actors who play various roles and are *not all Black* fall into the Black best friend trope. entire thing smacks of racial injustice dilettantism.

she's 100% right. Nolan is a notorious British Liberal, aka a Tory, a Conservative, and these are issues that have existed in most of his movies.

Read Wilson's 'Odyssey' introduction on the plane, it's a great piece of writing but am compelled to note she says 'In our culture, "bitch" is used as an insult term only for women." What is 'our culture'? Because that's not true in the world I live in.
