This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others.

Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

#SciFi #book #nerds

Some help? I'm really in the mood for a SciFi book that is themed around alien archeology, mystery, a bit like how Prometheus could have been, or Halo or Mass Effect. If possible, less emphasis on military yawn and avoiding misogyny.

From weekend road trip. Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Photo. The foreground is a flat meadowy pasture in muted greens, beige and yellow. In the midground are homes and ranch buildings. In the background the gray granite crenulations of the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range rise towards a bright blue sky with scattered fluffy white clouds. Shoulder of Highway 395 in Nevada, United States of America.

Hit me hard just now that, outside of a couple rudimentary attempts as a kid, I've never sat down to draw Godzilla. Decades gone. I need to sit with that because it feels too much like...something.

Oh, Nighthawks. Said it many times; not a huge fan of live LPs. But listening to a young Waits perform in front of a small crowd is a real treat. This is where his voice got hoarse, a bit rougher. Many highlights but Warm Beer and Cold Women is immortal; basically the soundtrack to my early 20s.
