Was gonna be a filmmaker when I grew up: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6199555/. Did a bunch of theater stuff, too. But plans changed, choices were made. Now, I'm a recluse with a cat & a garden. Sometimes I ramble on about stuff.
Stay safe out there.

Was trying to avoid it, but I saw the promo for the next ep. Looks like Abigail doesn't kidnap Chris. More like she picks him up from school thinking she's helping. My guess is when Eddie tells her to leave them alone, she goes full Fatal Attraction.

Why do they hate the Diaz family? Why are they always in some kind of crisis/tragedy? Can they not get a single moment of peace? If anything happens to Chris, and I mean anything, I will burn this little show to the ground.

Went poking around for reactions to tonight's 9-1-1 ep and found an article from a TV blog doing some heavy PR lifting for the show. They're trying to convince us that everyone's excited about the therapist lady as Eddie's new love interest. Who's everyone? Can't be me.

I will also burn this little show to the ground if Buck isn't heavily involved in this storyline. He helps raise Chris, so there's no version of this story where he sits on the sidelines.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
