Just Good Shit: 05.30.21

Hi, friends! Here’s what I was up to this week…

Reading

What the Tulsa Race Massacre Destroyed, NYT.

A Day With New York’s Bird Paramedics, Curbed.

I’m a Vaccinated Transplant Recipient. I Don’t Have Antibodies. Now What?, NYT.

The man who didn’t invent Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, L.A. Times.

Cruella Is the Girl-Bossification of the Madwoman, Vulture.
OK, we decided to watch this out of morbid curiosity/boredom (it’s been pouring non-stop for three days) and had low expectations…and yet were still shocked by just how bad it was! Totally joyless, incredibly obnoxious, with too many plot holes to count, and it just, like… does not connect to the 101 Dalmatians villain/story at all. So weird!

Cruella shows that Disney is still struggling to get its “first gay character” right, A.V. Club.

If Cruella’s Ending Left You Confused, You’re Not Alone, Slate.

She Put Her Unspent Love in a Cardboard Box, NYT.

Bowen Yang Is Changing the Late-Night Comedy Landscape, Slate.

How to help coworkers who have been in the office all along, Ask a Manager.

Have a good night! 🌥
