I just saw someone talking about how no one in corporate is following rules because they are all made up and this literally exploded my mind. Is THIS why no matter how much I adapt to follow new rules I seem to uncover, I can never seem to make sense of any of them?!! 😲😲😲

The thing that makes these monsters so effective is that you *can't* tell who they are from their works and public personas. That's what allows them to hide in plain sight. Nobody saw Bill Cosby coming, and no one saw Gaiman either. don't act like you have some kind of preternatural abuser sense.

For those of you who *don’t* go to theatrical screenings often (or as often as you’d like), why?
Film selection, ticket cost, distance to nearest theater, etiquette of other patrons, childcare issues, all of the above, other?
Very interested, comment away. Politely, please 🙏
