Last day of this extra-long weekend for me.
I want today to be productive, but I'm absolutely lacking motivation. I want to:
- Review Tuesday client's goals
- Study for RBT exam
- Practice ASL/Baby SL
- Jog
- Work out (strength)
- Buy (cheaply) groceries/household goods
- Do "something artistic", ideally sketching practice & some water color
Anyone wanna help motivate me? :P
Black Panther thoughts cont
This article goes even further into depth on some of the mixed feelings I had after seeing Black Panther:

From the article: "Black Panther is a movie about black empowerment in which the only redeemed blacks are African nobles."
Fuck.
Have you all heard Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"?
Because it's fucking amazing. Like, goddamn. Chills.
Black Panther thoughts
Black Panther was really, really good. But I had some mixed feelings, pretty well expressed by Killmonger's final words: "I would rather be dead than live in bondage."
I think this article did a better job of summing up my mixed feelings, though I wish it had examined those final words, too.
