    Yes, I have an opinion on how you should vote. But I'd rather you vote, even if you disagree with me. There is so much that is tied to legal implications from what apps are legal (tiktok) to what a bank can charge you to whether your employer…

    The right side of my brain wanted a more rigerous academic precise documentary going through example upon example in chilling detail as it vivisected the intersectionality of race and media. As it explored such awkward things as how race subconciously plays into how well we tip to the vocabulary that we choose to just about everything else.

    In talking about this with someone, he gave a vivid description about how slow it moves and how unhappy you are with the final product. I won't steal his colorful metaphor but that was perfect.

    Small people who watched it with me: Does Germany allow two boys to get married? What if one is a vampire? They're still gay right? Vampires can be gay right? Did he get the mouse as a wedding gift at his gay wedding?

    So, it wasn't just me that decided this was gay.

    I've been carrying signs my whole life. What can I say, I was raised to be angry in the streets and a freak in the sheets. Well, mum might disagree on the second part but she certainly agrees that rarely do well behaved people make history. Mr Homophobe, tear down this wall!

    It's cute and decently packaged. Rather than other docs such as Discslosure
