A fun writing experiment will tell you: Open any screenwriting software From the novel's text, copy in just the action paragraphs and the dialogue, in correct format. You will have way more than 120 pages. Rule of thumb is 1 minute of filming per page. Adapting for film is mostly cutting.

It's also "traditional" - meaning Jewish groups being disdainful of each other, including in this way - and it's definitely one of those traditions - minhag - for which we say that minhag has the same letters as gehenom - hell.

And inevitably someone comes along to suggest "Then why can Black people use it?" ...Because language is contextual and we have both the personal relationship with the word and history, and the cultural framework, to separate its previous usage against us from our own rebellious reclamation of it.

Behind fatphobia is the belief that being thin makes someone MORALLY superior. It's not the luck of genetics, being thin is PROOF that you are better than everyone else. And if you're not thin... all you deserve is pain and suffering. Socially, professionally, personally. That's how fatphobia works.

Anti-Blackness is a distinct vector within racism Calling it out is abt acknowledging how POC's undermine Black people to gain points within PWIs Racial solidarity, collective strength can only happen when we identify Anti-Blackness and specifically act together against it bsky.app/profile/sand...
