“Steven Spielberg said to me, ‘Oh, you’re the director of 'Godzilla Minus One' (2023). I saw it three times,. I couldn’t believe it, because Spielberg is like a god to me, just for what he’s done for the film industry." - Takashi Yamazaki

Too big to buy at Dubai Airport so will have to shop local when I land but a useful reminder to re-listen to ALL @EmpirePodUK again to get the list of books to add to the pile!

If Black elders who suffered Jim Crow are still w/us, & Native elders who were robbed of their land & rights are still w/us, & Japanese elders who were forced into Camps are still w/us—why do we pretend the people & systems who committed those atrocities are magically gone?🤔

Some media literacy on trans issues: 1. When a piece about youth transition says "daughters" it's talking about young trans boys in a way that is priming you to dismiss them as silly and emotional and believe they need to be protected from themselves.
