When my grandmom was in the early-middle stages of Alzheimer’s, I took her to a showing of Singin’ in the Rain. We had the discussion about 20 times of what it was we were seeing, but she sang along with every single song in the movie. 🥹
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

My annual reminder that I didn’t learn until college that meatballs weren’t a traditional Thanksgiving side dish in every family #ItalianAmerican
The most important question asked on Thanksgiving:

What is your favorite side dish? 🍽️🦃

The advocacy and work of accessibility continues, regardless of anti-DEIA.

But the work can be harder, less resourced, more diminished.

Oppressive systems weigh heavily on the advocates still advocating.

So if you can, take the weight off us by helping where you can, regardless of your job title.
