Reading Buffalo Hunter Hunter as nature intended — beneath a large cat.

This is an excellent take. #severance

“Beneath that horror, though, there is something else. While Innie Mark might have you screaming NO0000O! at your television, his self-insurrection has a reassuring sentiment behind it. Every part of you, even the parts you don't like, is worthwhile. Take it from a father of three.
People condemned to a life of endless drudgery will still find life inside of that drudgery. Life IS drudgery, to an extent.
You can't simply cut off the parts of life that bore or irritate you, because then you'll be missing out in ways that you'll only be able to fathom when it's too late.”

One last one — The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. An empathetic look at failures of cultural competency in modern medicine. Focuses on a specific case of a Hmong child with epilepsy, but its themes are quite expansive. As a medical professional, it’s stuck with me a long time.

If you liked Killers of the Flower Moon (I loved it)— I’ve heard great things about The Wager, David Grann.

A pair of pileated woodpeckers who have been taking turns feasting at our bird feeder. Gotta love a double pecker day.

Sir Pecker in all his glory. Slightly blurry photo of an adult male pileated woodpecker perched on a feeder. He’s giving excellent crazy eye. And also general feathered velociraptor vibes.

Also “Giri/Haji”

Poster for 2019 Netflix series “Giri/Haji”

Will Sharpe as “Rodney” in Giri/Haji. An early-30s Asian man with bleached blonde hair wears a fabulously outfit consisting of an oversized straw hat, round sunglasses, and some sort of cheetah-print Hawaiian shirt situation.

Agreed— my partner is Gen X, and many women in her peer group are progressive (this is probably some self-selection on our part), but a lot of her cishet dude peers trend more conservative. Found the graphic for the article I was referencing, fyi — just in case you’re curious! :)

Two side by side line graphs with the title “Millennial voters in the UK and US are not following the typical pattern of growing more conservative as they age”

Graphic on left is UK data, graph on right is US data. Both show a trend in Gen X, Boomer, and Silent Generation towards increasing conservatism with age. Millennials are the outlier, trending less conservative as they age.
