On Time Well Spent, Pt. 1
I tend to personalize things a bit too much. I can’t put a finger on why that started, but as I notice I have to remind myself that it’s not always about you. One of the things I underestimated about being (back) in the hinterland was how much I’d yearn to have connections with real people more regularly. It’s not to say there aren’t interesting people floating...

webefriends replied to your quote: “But with that said, I don’t think it’s too much… I’m young, so this seems uncertain to me, but I have the feeling there was something of a gap between around 1970 and 2000 (possibly later) where it was really something of bad form for a public figure to be really publicly racist.

Some guy posted about the soundtrack and how strange it was (to him) that an indie black people movie didn’t feature any hip-hop. I’m not sure that it really fit how the film was made. The music seemed to...
