Just Good Shit: 05.16.21

This week, I celebrated the first anniversary of The Art of Showing Up! My girlfriend got me an amazing (and delicious) cake to celebrate. We also had two (!!) friend hangouts this weekend and watched Showgirls, a movie viewing experience that I…frankly was not prepared for. At one point, we paused, in a state of awe and confusion, to discuss what we had just seen, and she pointed out we were *not even seven minutes into the movie*. It’s nonsensical, baffling, and so shockingly bad, and I kind of already want to watch it again? (Instead we’re watching You Don’t Nomi, the documentary that seeks to figure out why Showgirls…is this way.)

Here’s what else I had going on this week.

Reading

Sara Yasin, my former coworker, is a good follow for news/insight on what is happening in Israel and Palestine right now. And Democracy Now and US Campaign for Palestinian Rights are two good resources (h/t Sally).
