Had a long conversation with my sister about dealing with our mother's stuff.

Joyce and Giles were the best couple on that show after Willow and Tara.

Multiple European empires as well as this country were involved.

I watched the Bad Bunny halftime show earlier today.

The history of sugar plantations is very important.

I love that they had a real sister moment in this movie.

Bought my tickets to see my mother next weekend and a friend offered to bring me to LAX on Saturday morning.

Poor, innocent Dot. But she helped to get Butcher George to get Alice some justice.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries also talks about class. Phyrne was rich and could get access to a diaphragm, which normal women could not.

It's great! It does make you cry a lot though. There was an episode where a woman died from preeclampsia. I still cry every time I think of it.

Have you watched any of Call the Midwife? It's a great telling of why widespread access to birth control is important.

Rewatching S2E12 in the midst of continuing Epstein stuff is also...

Miss Fisher's often tells us why comprehensive and widespread birth control is important.

Oh, some of the men are avenging the women in their lives who were dealing with being a woman in the early 20th century.

This is a very simple conclusion, but having rewatched Poirot and Miss Fisher's recently, it seems that the guilty men are often covering up the awful shit they've done to women and the guilty women are often dealing with the injustice of being women in the early 20th century.

Want to figure out when to go back to Boston to see my mother, but I'm trying to pick flights that don't involve freezing rain.

This movie is from 1995, and I was a teen who observed Columbine.

Also asking for gun control legislation years before Columbine.

Fear of immigration in many generations.

Fear is a thing that American voting is based on.

The thing about rewatching The American President is the history of fear being a thing that the Republicans make their on.

I don't like to crow about being right, but a thing I suggested in December is now happening in February because everyone else finally got on board.

When I still lived there, I would just walk to a lot of places. Or hop on the bus or a train.

It's why I started taking the train to the North End to hop on the MGH shuttle to Spaulding.

Having spent a month there in a lot of cars to go visit my mother in the hospital, I can tell you that the city proper is not built for driving. Lol.

The Back Bay and South End are grids because they were created on landfill from the 19th century.

In middle school history, they told us it was cow paths that became the streets in Downtown Boston. Same difference.

She's booked and busy. But there are American fashion designers who might be up for the job.

And while I do love Ralph Lauren collections personally, as a lover of navy and blazers, choosing the brand for the Olympics tells a very limited story of this country.

She would also be great as the one human actor in a Muppet movie.
