I’ve read the book and it was heartbreaking. I want to see the movie but I know it will be devastating. (Also have tickets for the stage adaptation in DC next year)

If you loved the movie, try reading the book. The writing is out of this world. Truly. You feel it all in your bones, in your soul.

We went out to eat afterwards, and while at the restaurant and talking about the movie, I mentioned a scene at the end and just about lost it again. Oof

Wanted to see Hamnet in the movie theater. I read how people were openly weeping leaving the theater. Opting to watch at home so I can cry in private.

Saw Hamnet today. Best film as well as the most devastating emotionally in years. Even after leaving the theater, I felt like I was going to start crying. Again.
I have no idea who else will get nominated, but I can’t fathom l a performance out there that can top Jessie Buckley’s.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

First day back to work after surgery.
I am definitely fully recovered.
I definitely still have burnout. (This will probably be true for some years to come unless something very drastic changes for long enough.)
I will be changing some priorities so that I focus on things that lift me up.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.
Good.
Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.
She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.
It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.
