We're meant to root for the Pevensies to leave Narnia or Dorothy to return from Oz, yet viewers who empathized with Ted felt cheated when he returned home. An argument I heard a lot was that it felt like the ending was decided in advance, despite the character's growth and happiness. Maybe in adult stories we want to believe we have more control over our destiny? I peeked in on the livestream but I think he's already into the Q&A at this point. He sounds very professional though!

Laghail Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 Sasheer Zamata is a slayer with an impressive rouges gallery; Uprights Citizens Brigade, ABC News, MTV, SNL, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Tuca & Bertie, Inside Amy Schumer, and the Muppets. This slayer was even named the ACLU's celebrity ambassador in 2015 and has done significant work fighting gender discrimination and colorism. Zamata has a TED talk-like delivery, structuring the jokes in the context of systematic observations about culture. I dropped the rating system because it was feeling uncomfortable, but Zamata is a great example of a raconteur comedian, whose longer stories trade some LPM for thoughtful pauses.

I am always a tad shy if elasticated ones after having a bracelet explode on my wrist on a very hot day once. I’d be shy too! I have magnetic catches but they’re unsuitable once the bead is larger than 4mm. I have quite a few toggle and wire options that work for a fatter 8mm bead. To my mind, 8mm is the smoothest bead for counting while you meditate. 10mm moves great too, but they’re less common. 1 Quote Level 38 [TBD] Link to comment

Yes, it is. But it's not here at NF with us, and we are going to keep it that way. (That said, if you need to vent to an outside third party who won't judge, feel free to send me a PM.

The thing with humor is that it's almost entirely dependent on cultural context (this is why Chaplin movies aren't funny anymore), and as someone who grew up outside the US, I'm missing a lot of the context a lot of the stand-up comedy here relies on to be funny. But when women comedians make jokes about all the struggles around being women, that appears to transcend cultural differences somehow.

If you compared check boxes between today and yesterday, you might notice I blew off most of my checkboxes last night to play Neverwinter Nights until midnight. Not my ideal outcome, but happy with how I managed an emotional day. Relatedly, I was reminded that Wellbutrin, the SNRI that's managing my depression/anxiety in conjunction with Vyvanse for ADHD-related anxiety, Wellbutrin makes you horny. Lexapro, mostly in the rearview mirror for me now, depresses libido and has been doing so for 7 years. Interesting, interesting, interesting... Unrelatedly, I seem to have developed a small harem of short autistic men who are managing bipolar disorder. Jokes aside about my type being the grippy sock gang, I'm actually pretty proud of how I've been managing attachment and expectations with lovers lately.

Laghail Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 Jessica Fostekew is a weightlifting slayer with an axe to grind re: body fascism. Written up in the Guardian recently under the title, "the joy of pecs", the queer comic takes a swing at our hellscape expectations of bodies, and she manages to bring a fair degree of rage into her humor. A brilliant woman with a background in the London School of Economics, her comedic persona launches into tongue tied stuttering truth blurts as she walks through her own life and growth.

Celebration for the new PhD went well on Saturday and was surprisingly affordable. Liam's friends fought over who got to pay for him, so my purse strings stayed tied for the whole day. Highlight: the bar named "At Random." I hate bars, I love this bar. It primarily serves boozy ice cream drinks, and the interior is softly lit in red, with slow jazz playing throughout. Perfect environment for us anxiety enjoyers. Highlight: a very stoned shop proprietor at a queer-themed gift shop insisted the whole party pose for a marketing promo photo.

Laghail Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 Our slayer of the day comes from Dublin and is part of both team queer and team neuro-spicy. She has a fantastic tight ten, but having gone through much of her catalogue, it seems like that tight ten is the entirety of her material. Honest, no notes.

Our slayer's tight ten, or 9:27 set, from the 2019 Up Late Comedy Fest Spoiler Catherine commenting on mental health as she roasts a few audience members for 5:33 at the Soho Theater, as part of her special, "Immaculate." Odd. Funny in the aggregate but odd.
