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 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).
