But also returning to a place where food issues often start is something that isn’t often unpacked, or exposes to someone that they aren’t “past” those issues. The judgement in how you look, the policing of foods—or the pushing of it—can trigger insecurities around eating and body image.

Fast food chains *decorated their restaurants* with lynching decor. Emmett Till's memorial gets riddled with bullet holes. No matter how repugnant this policy is as an instrument of government: The purpose of a system is what it does. When we turn our gaze from racism, we reap what we sow.

Should parents be allowed to endanger their children's lives because they are deluded and misinformed? I mean, why bother with car seats or cabinet locks? Why worry about life jackets or bike helmets?

Each streaming app has its own issues. One is overall dimmer than the others. One, you have to crank the volume up to about 25 - 26, switch to another one where the volume is too loud, gotta drop it to 18 - 19. Then there’s the one app where captions take up half the screen.
