The other sheep who was born in winter is judged harshly for isolating himself (this flock doesn't know when he was born) and eventually is killed to further the main sheep's character growth.

This isn't really resolved until late in the movie. The older winter sheep tells the main sheep he was born in winter, and she struggles with her reaction. She doesn't fully get over it before he is killed protecting her.

After that she's a little more open to the winter lamb. When the winter lamb proves himself useful and the main sheep (somewhat reluctantly) challenges her own beliefs, he's allowed into the fold and named after the shepherd. He's quite happy to be included.

I believe the movie is based on a children's book. For young audiences it makes a point, I suppose, but it's somewhat uncomfortable to watch. It's very much the b plot, and is very much told from a white perspective. There are no direct consequences of the racism. The winter lamb is completely fine with the way things shake out and has no misgivings whatsoever.

There's also a weird comparison between the winter lambs and a white woman who... had a silly name, I guess? I'm really not sure what point they were trying to make there. It didn't land for me.

It has a huge variety of historical recipes from different regions, taken from manuscripts, transcribed and translated, and a whole section of notes about the context for the recipe. It's really fun and I AM going to try a couple of these recipes.

Look at how this lamb recipe is presented:

This is just such a fun way to learn more about historical foodways and discover traditional cuisine.

Look at all the filters you can use:

Maybe if I can forage some good blackberries this year, I can make a 300 year old recipe for blackberry wine!

Desmond is wheezing and that's how they get a cat for emotional support that turns into anti Juno like the cat in The Mummy. Rebecca enjoys holding Desmeow up when Juno pops up. The emails become unhinged and entertaining for her

So now that I got into Assassin's Creed 1, I realized Altaïr got demoted to the rank of child and apparently has to redo his training from the start.

*Hard cut to Altaïr on the floor of the mosque, crosslegged, enraged, as he's forced to sit through the five-year-olds philosophy class*
