15 things I've been meaning to watch

I'll get to these one day, I swear!

  1. Derry Girls. "The personal exploits of a 16-year-old girl and her family and friends during the Troubles in the early 1990s."
  2. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. "A young woman abandons a choice job at a law firm and her life in New York in an attempt to find happiness in the unlikely locale of West Covina, California."
  3. Schitt's Creek. "When rich video-store magnate Johnny Rose and his family suddenly find themselves broke, they are forced to leave their pampered lives to regroup in Schitt's Creek."
  4. American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. "Defining moments in Andrew Cunanan's life, starting in childhood, lead up to a 1997 murder spree that kills five, including fashion icon Gianni Versace."
  5. Strong Island. "When filmmaker Yance Ford investigates the 1992 murder of a young black man, it becomes an achingly personal journey since the victim, 24-year-old William Ford Jr., was the filmmaker's brother."
  6. Star Trek: Discovery. "Ten years before Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, the USS Discovery discovers new worlds and lifeforms as one Starfleet officer learns to understand all things alien."
  7. The Miami Showband Massacre. "In 1974, while on the way home from a gig, the apolitical rock group, The Miami Showband, fell into the crosshairs of a Protestant unionist paramilitary group that planted explosives on their bus when it was stopped at a fake checkpoint."
  8. The Investigator: A British Crime Story, Season 2. "Mark investigates the disappearance of Eastbourne teen Louise Kay, but a crucial revelation about a notorious suspect redefines the scope of the case."
  9. Get Out. "A young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point."
  10. The Favourite. "In early 18th century England, a frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah."
  11. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. "A mother personally challenges the local authorities to solve her daughter's murder when they fail to catch the culprit."
  12. Can You Ever Forgive Me?. "When Lee Israel falls out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception."
  13. Mary Queen of Scots. "Mary Stuart's attempt to overthrow her cousin Elizabeth I, Queen of England, finds her condemned to years of imprisonment before facing execution."
  14. On the Basis of Sex. "The true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights, and the early cases of a historic career that lead to her nomination and confirmation as U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice."
  15. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. "Teen Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man of his reality, crossing his path with five counterparts from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities."

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
