@JohnnyDisaster Have to look this up!
@elbutterfield Agree. I’ve seen House over again, off and on, regularly over the last ten years or so.
@rpardee The Wire is going on my re-watch list.
@SurvivedChaos Ooh, Star Treks would be good to rewatch.
@DJNoneYa Can’t watch her. Anyone who decides to do something destructive and mean with the one life they have, and especially with a platform, is a waste of air so intense they actually suck it out of the atmosphere.
@mcfate whaaaat
Let us remember that Judy Blume also wrote WIFEY. Complex women writers can explore the range from childhood to full-blown sexual creature. ❤️ #judyblume
@ianthealy Happy birthday! 🎈
@ianthealy Hm. What could it be… 🤔
@jeffreadwrite Deer should fear people. And they shouldn’t eat plastic.
@ianthealy Funny seeing these. I’ve been working on a limerick.
@FreezyWriter This post is so fetch
@JoyfullyDazed This is true.
@TheresaVermont Exactly. I think of honoring them as honoring their desire for privacy even after they're gone. I don't think she was writing about her relationship with her mother, but her mother's life. And she'll profit from it. It makes me uncomfortable. But, then, I don't know their relationship.
A writer interviewed on NPR had just written (published) a book about her mother’s life after her mother died. The suggestion was that her mother wouldn’t have appreciated this while alive. (Not because she was abusive, but because she was private.)
It makes me wonder: should we honor who someone was when they lived, or safely assume that, in their new realm, if there is one, they wouldn’t mind being … exposed?
Thoughts?
