Seeing so many saying 9/11.. The ‘93 blizzard was my first major news event but 9/11 is the most major of my childhood and truly my lifetime.
Many know this but my father was in the WTC and escaped.
I’ll never forget watching news footage while in a middle school classroom.

Iiii… wow.
I feel like when COVID hit, a lot of these pieces also came out and I learned how dirty people are. Like we’ve always changed clothes when we got home.
Partially for comfort but also bc I’m not gonna wear the clothes I had on in a public place on my couch at home.

There is a key correlation between BIPOC shows not getting enough coverage and fading away too fast + entertainment media not having diverse newsrooms/staff.
This isn't the only reason for this disappointing issue, of course, but it's an integral one.

I always tell people if you seek a city that feels like NYC in terms of a city... but has little niche pockets and entertainment the way LA can too... Chicago has it all.

I was kidnapped in high school. Two men took me from my garage, didn’t let me go until my dad came and paid money to release me. I was scared absolutely but the absolute terror I felt was when they took my dad and put him in the trunk of a car. I was more scared for him than me.

It’s a great quote.
And who doesn’t look back at their first gig or first break and think that was fine, but I want to evolve and do more? That’s natural.
But also correct that for non-white actors, it’s like you *have* to show thanks.. always.

Shiv wasn’t trying to break the cycle or save Kendall from becoming their dad. She wanted to be on top.
Multiple men in her life fucked her over from ever getting there. Thus, she had to screw with them - mostly Kendall.

While I agree that teachers absolutely need to be one of the first to get a vaccine (my sister is one in Tennessee so I empathize massively), I imagine they're trying to get to as many healthcare workers first since they're the most exposed in the facilities they work in.

I got pregnant in Oct. 2021. Gave birth June 2022. Today was my first day doing a full-on workout.
My pregnancy was so difficult (nausea, lack of energy). Since giving birth, I've just been so tired.
Today, I wanted to push myself just a bit. Just for 20 min. I'm so glad I did.
