What part of you relates to me?

spatch was not working this evening and I finally had some energy left, we cooked together for the first time in weeks. We had a pair of pork chops which we seasoned with pico fruta, briefly pan-seared, and then slathered in a dark, sweet, especially high-Scoville variation on helljam to finish cooking in a tightly foil-wrapped baking dish along with some experimental pulled chicken: 10/10, would prepare all meats in similar juicy, heat-rich but not obliterated fashion. We made cheese grits to accompany. We may be approaching the event horizon where I learn how to cook collard greens. Please enjoy some links.
1. In praise of a restaurant I want to revisit: "I spent the night at South Street Diner, Boston's only 24/7 sit-down spot."
2. On damage and different kinds of anger: Martha C. Nussbaum, "The Weakness of the Furies."
3. Speaking of the uses of transition anger: "The Radicalism of Warren's Unapologetic Aggression." I am fascinated by this sentence: "Here was an assassin, bathed in the blood of her enemies, turning steady eyes to the TV camera and offering her talents to the public: For the small price of a primary vote, this assassin will work for you." I think it's the characterization of assassin when the pledge and I'll fight for your family would have made me think straight-up of mercenary knights, but maybe to most people it's the same thing.
4. It is entirely reasonable that a year of beautiful men should include Roddy McDowall. I still think that white-and-gold safari-jacket ensemble he's wearing there in his first appearance as Jonathan Willoway suits him much less well than the eventual black leather jacket of his regular costume. It's a really good jacket.

You can probably get a sense of the inciting incident from this recent interview:

But I wouldn't recommend investigating too deeply the actions of the online bullies. There's enough pain in the world to push through already.
Someone I know merely talked about "how fanfiction has trigger warnings" and how "writting fiction doesn't imply that you endorse the ethics of every character you write", and was attacked, in the most unspeakable terms, by a portion of the mob--triggering a clinical panic attack. I can't imagine what it was like to be at the center, not the edges, of their venom.

"People have written brilliantly about personal damages they have not suffered. People have personal damage they don't, can't, or won't disclose."
Thanks. Argh.
