Rabbit, rabbit! Happy May Day! Don't cross any picket lines!
Yesterday got sufficiently scrambled on different fronts that none of the things I had planned to do actually got done, but we came out of it with a lot of produce and a share in a subscription to Disney+ and I got to see![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gaudior in person for the first time since the beginning of the month. I watched Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration and loved much of it and every now and then realized what's important to me about a song by watching someone not do it. I watched DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) for maybe the first time since it was in theaters and was amazed by how specifically I had remembered certain lines and scenes and most of all the mile-a-minute genie's serious yearning to be mortal with choices and no longer the slave of the lamp and how completely other elements had dropped out of my brain, like most of the action sequences and the comedy racism of the villain's sidekick. spatch and I watched Rosana Sullivan's Kitbull (2019) and I couldn't stop crying for a long time. I'm not sure what it tapped into. Maybe just tiny, stubborn kindness in the face of cruelty. It was a very believable kitten.
Governor Baker has finally mandated rather than recommended the statewide wearing of masks in public. I wish he'd done it a month ago, but at least he's done it.
I cannot but hope that this cartoon from Life magazine, January 1919 was the origin story of a queer girl gang.
