The dulcet tones of Matt Simmons

why so sad blonde meangirl with a secret heart of gold? does it have anything to do with your weird brunette nerd that refuses to follow societal expectations?

RIP Sam Neill

" Some people really “stay with you,” because they share so freely of themselves, are so comfortable in their own skin, have so much joy in their lives, even no matter what they’re going through, well perhaps of course this is because of the way that I knew him, which was relatively briefly and somewhat intensely - *perhaps*, but I’d also guess that he’s universally adored and always will be for the things I, too, saw and experienced. He managed to be the one person who most effortlesssly cut through the most potentially tedious and extremely awkward social situation: a huge group live/work quarantine, the only way you could complete a half finished big movie in the middle of a pandemic. This pic was taken on my birthday 2020, and this gentleman made that birthday (a big one), so far away from home and family, so special and so nice. When I say he was “most effortless,” that’s saying a lot because it was a huge British mansion full of very mindful and warm other humans. But this guy, he was the “come sit over here by us” guy, right out of the gate, as soon as you walked in the room the first time, not knowing what you were getting yourself into, and who doesn’t appreciate that? I so deeply admire and respect his unforgettable warmth and wit and ease in any situation; he was so funny and warm/quick/wise and just emanated talent and integrity and positive energy. I’m telling you, he will be remembered so incredibly fondly and by so many more than just me. He was so generous! He was so happy to be alive, I feel. I guess that’s the takeaway: for the rest of us to try to be as present as often as possible, and happily so, before it’s over. "

" The next great adventure begins. Love, always and forever. 🦕💕 "

Ridges.

a teacher who believes that there are two categories of people - Good People who Mean Well, and Bad People who Cause Problems on Purpose - is not going to see it that way. they're gonna put themselves in the first category, and the misbehaving kid in the second category. and once they have effectively depersoned the child and placed themselves on a pedestal, the world becomes simple again. because abuse is something that only Bad People do.

Do you have thoughts on how to complicate this? Beyond just, Good Person/Bad Person worldviews create harm and are primarily useful for camouflaging abuse and harm without guilt?

Even their departure held meaning.
