DISMANTLE WHARF

rcnederveld

I just realized I'm technically eligible for the vaccine because I'm adjunct faculty in Higher Ed. Dismantle survey: should I go for it now, or wait a few more months until more worthy folks are jabbed? It's hard to know. I don't actually interface with students IRL. Everyone says when it is your t...

It's for a film that's about sound and listening, mostly in L.A., and the director heard him talk about this in an interview once and it stuck with her.

rcnederveld

Would like to talk to Jake G about that. I often have conversations in my head by humming the conversation out loud. Then I have to cover it up by pretenting I was humming a song or KORN will pester me until I tell him what the conversation was about; which usually ends up being embarrassing for me...

I am on a quest to film Jake Gyllenhaal memorizing lines, doc style: he apparently memorizes the tonal pattern of the lines instead of the actual words.

I feel like he has to have connections to the art or music world that I can tap into to make this happen.

Anyone have insider info?

I haven't used PLex but I'm down for it. So glad you watched it. And yeah, it's SO relevant right now and the idea that no one is free until we are all free - so many groups of people who don't have even close to the rights I have. I love seeing the black disability / black trans / and other sub-com...

Everyone please let us know if you watch Crip Camp! Netflix! It's a great film to add to your repertoire of films for self education on equality for all, which I feel like most of us probably have going?

I's pretty sure UPS stores are franchises, I don't know this but I get the feeling.
Also.... USPS?

I wonder if some of y'all's stress about the calls is anxiety related to "zoom fatigue" etc.

My uncle coined the term “gritnu” for the crunchy burned bits of food left over when cooking. It’s most likely a play on gristle.
