I'm broke. It's so tough to afford going to the movies. But watching movies at home just isn't the same. Even if I wasn't broke and could afford one of those really nice home theatres - I think there's something about going to the movie theatre that's special.

Somehow I'm a good five minutes behind everyone else even though I'm watching the live Oscar broadcast. I probably paused more often than I realized.

When I was in 6th grade, my boyfriend gave me a mobile he'd made in class, and even though we broke up after a couple of months (we were in middle school, come on), I legit kept that mobile until I was in college.

So I've been binge watching the new Matlock show. I really love it. I actually like the episodic aspects more than the overarching plotline.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.
