100%!! Probably also mentioning that Melinda’s essentially ripped off Marie’s recipes during some sheisty imporg deal.

I hope they bring back Andrew Prahlow for the music. That OST…

Some things do celebrate the ephemeral, so perhaps there’s a cultural need to wrangle these into joy. We beat illness, graduate from school, solve problems, and complete tasks.

Her story of overcoming adversity helps others in such a place have the ability to see themselves. My understanding is that it is important to help bridge our societies failures in egalitarianism, and as such those whom have done so wish for the trials to be highlighted so they can be addressed, to serve as beacons for others in a similar plight, and to validate their negative experience to peoples that would pretend it does not exist. The latter being a kind of erasure.

Maybe it’s because these generations of which I’m a part are struggling financially and will likely end up in the gutter due to crumbling support systems or because we’re staring down the double barrel of the imminent repercussions of ignoring climate change and the reinforcing systemic barriers to overcome it, but I just learned that “dust bowl chic” (and consent, already known) really does it for me.
