NYC is forever in my heart, and I have empathy for all who lose loved ones, no matter the cause.
At this point—after a pandemic that killed more than a million Americans—these annual ceremonies feel like cynical rituals to keep support high for the military industrial complex.
@_aceinthehole @GramrgednAngel @HillaryMonahan I saw E.T. in the theater when I was 4 years old and pitched an absolute FIT when the "bad men" got E.T. and no-one in the audience was doing anything about it (I literally screamed at my parents "WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!!!")
@HillaryMonahan As a kid? The Baby of Mine and the intoxication scenes in Dumbo.
As an adult, the destruction of Goofball Island in Inside Out and pretty much all of Coco.

@NoName_xx_ahf Sea urchins like to put rocks and shells on their heads, to protect them from predators and the sun. So an aquarium 3D-printed hats for them, and they love to wear them!
@saragoldrickrab Fair point - anger can be a useful and powerful tool, but the HALT acronym was originally designed to help addicts take a step back from their triggers before turning to their substance of choice to cope.
@Tyler_Mitchell_ This image is absolutely breathtaking. Wish I was in the UK to check it out in person - do you plan to bring the exhibition over to the States?

@shesungodly@byJudeDoyle What stands out to me isn't just the physicality of the labor, but the absurdity of doing it in such inappropriate attire - no safety helmet or other PPE, shirtless and wearing a dangley chain that swings all over the place.
@ChairmanGao It is beyond delightful to see that this show has been written, directed and acted by people who genuinely understand & love the source material - Jen's snarkiness and humanity came through in equal measure.
