Oh God, I had to stop watching TD: Night Country after 4 eps because it got too hardcore and scary-scandi-noir for a hot minute. I may slowly get back on to finish the series if only because the strong female characters and lead actors and showrunner Issa Lopez's storytelling chops are all SO GOOD. Big thumbs up for Mary Oliver's drunk cousin. And F what conventional society has in mind for whatever "normative" notions of this and that are. Do you and get after it, whatever it is :)
i wish i hadn't been left with so many questions after watching night country! i was so intrigued by the woman who lived alone and saw dead folks. i cut the tip of my thumb on my mandolin the other week and it was in the perfect spot to reopen every day. have you seen the thread on culture study about nontraditional families and things like that? it was so nice to read. i don't plan on giving birth, hopefully one day fostering and adopting, or just being involved in raising the younger generation somehow. but for now, i love helping take care of my best friend's kids and being a part of their lives. i wake up at 7 am to play barbies with her daughter when she sleeps in my bed in their guest room. it makes me so, so happy.
I had more questions than answers as well! Like, who cut out the tongue? Where did Navarro go? How in the world did Rose Agineau get all those ingredients and party items in Alaska and how much did that cost/what was the markup??
I was very fortunate in that the mandolin injury was small and is healing quickly now, but mandolins really are no joke! I hope the tip of your thumb is recovering nicely.
Thank you for reminding me about Culture Study's nontraditional family thread! I'm going to reread it. Everything you described about your family planning and approach to friends' kids is exactly what I have in mind. I'm also interested in fostering and adopting but find the whole process very daunting!
I am forever changed now that I know Atlanta has a magnet man (I think he’s worthy of the Magneto moniker; I’m a firm believer that Magneto is actually a good person).
Right?? You should also look into Baton Bob (a florist who brings joy to people in Midtown by dressing up in outlandish tutus and costumes while dancing with a baton) and Blondie (a stripper – this term is used very loosely – at Clermont Lounge whose special talent is crushing PBR cans with her tits). They're institutions in Atlanta!
Agree with you about Magneto. Aren't all villains just (super)humans in pain but they just have poor coping mechanisms? I might be oversimplifying this haha
