ironymaiden: Cartoon television with devil horns (television)

tonight is our third night of curfew.
i spent the afternoon coding on Saturday and would have had no idea anything had happened if my phone hadn't gone off, because i am very careful about what news i get. i am sick with worry and fear whenever i turn my mind to the state of my country, and as a white person i feel only the tiniest fraction of the weight.

we're watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time and enjoying it a great deal. C and i have managed to be completely unspoiled so it's been a great pleasure both to watch and to speculate together about what will happen. we're just starting season 3.

when i wasn't coding this weekend (or watching AtLA) we took in some classic films on HBOMax. first Million Dollar Mermaid (water sequences super-cool, ended abruptly in a perplexing spot) then a couple Showa-era Godzilla movies. there's a surprising number of Criterion Collection restorations available on the service. i'm excited.

we didn't watch the Rankin-Bass The Hobbit, but we will because we are of a certain age and it is written on our hearts. (they also have Watership Down but we're not watching that. it's like Pan's Labyrinth - great work, want to support it, people should see it, i'm not watching that thing again because i don't like nightmares.)

Yes, very hard. I'm glad you have landed in such a supportive environment. I read the one piece and listened to the other last night. Both were great. I'm trying to listen far more than I talk right now. Seems like the right thing to do.
