Will you step in line or release the glitch?

As a reminder to myself of the value of random film trivia, I seem to have convinced a kid to seek out Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) after he complimented me on my name and deprecated his own which I told him was a lovely name, the name of a river, the name of a psychopomp, and he perked up and asked if the movie was available in this region and I could tell him there was even a Criterion disc, since off the top of my head I had no idea where it was streaming, although the answer turns out to be all over the place. I hope he enjoys it. Comes with a free Edward Everett Horton. I have spent way too much of the day on the phone.

I was just talking about this w/the Tall One and his wife today. How humanity creates these systems, and then somehow actual humans end up being squashed in them, squishy bits caught by the turning gears. But yeah! Squishy human to squishy human is where it's at, especially when not complicated by power hierarchies.

I don't think it's possible for human interactions not to be complicated by power hierarchies on any level, but you can still do your best to reach through the gears.
