not a movie, but a relatively short tv series. about different kinds of grief, and also love and loving yourself, and the complications of family, and being a woman.
sabbueno omg i hope it is comforting or relatable in some way 💕 i rewatched it after losing my own grandparents and her experience with familial grief made me feel so seen 😢
I'm the type of person who watches movies, I don't tend to find myself being utterly enthralled by a show. HOWEVER, Fleabag did that for me; it made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me feel seen in the eyes of a 30-something year old. The only show that ever came a little close to that was This is Going to Hurt, or Crashing (also directed and starred by miss Phoebe). So, basically what I've been doing since is trying to find shows that mimic that feeling; or even provide me with a feeling just as strong.
I don't know the amazon 🤢 log in so needless to say, when the parents are away, I can display.. (fleabag in the living room). The first time I watched it, I accidentally stayed up until 3am finishing the show because I couldn't put it down. Fl;eabag's been talked about for years and yet it's STILL not overrated IMO. Plus, it's only SIX EPS per season... 24 minutes long!!! It;'s a no-brainer.
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
