dunno if it’s possible to overstate how potentially transformative it is to have a player like wemby become the face of the nba. a bunch of boys/young men growing up seeing this kind of unabashed raw emotion and care factor is big time
banning SSRIs would be the single largest act of massive scale suffering and directly caused death this administration has yet committed. and it's a competitive fucking list.
i think about when lin manuel miranda said “andrew garfield is often called upon to suffer beautifully because he suffers more beautifully than any other actor” everyday
The Harry Potter books are KIND OF children’s books, but the truth is that it is the perfect series because it matures as you do, particularly with how it treats death.
There is no death in books 1-3, except as a background discussion, but each book bring us closer and closer to it, to the point that book 3 is filled with death omens.
Book 4 opens and closes with a death, but it’s the death of someone we don’t know very well.
Book 5 shows us to the death of a loved one, book 6 involves the death of someone we believed invincible, and book 7 brings us the death of the protagonist himself. No series has ever nailed it like that.
