@barrettjh I have zero intel into this question, but I would not be surprised if it's an MCU/Disney thing. Extraordinary control of the narrative would be my guess.
@barrettjh So I saw Wakanda Forever yesterday and was SO distracted just thinking "she's an antivaxxer" the entire fucking time. Legit severely impacted my enjoyment of the movie to the point where I don't know if I need to see it again.
@BostonNooga I really like the part where you're still around and filling the void of my soul with your tweets about golf and wrestling and meals and your kid. I love you, bro.
@dimwell Yeah, if it were today then the gap would be virtually negligible, but def not then. It would've been like I pursued one of my students when I first started teaching. Which, like, NO, MAN.

It's not rational, it has no basis in any logic. I don't think he cares about me one bit, at least not in the way that would make him upset if I wasn't in his life even in a tangential way. But I have feelings about it, because it was ingrained in me when I was a child 31/?
