ALSO ANT MAN IS THE BEST MOVIE ABOUT BEING A DEADBEAT DAD.
Guys, stop disagreeing with me!
In other news I fucking hate Sandman, but the one thing I DO like about it is that they actually just show Africans in medieval England. You might THINK this is just WOKE gone mad, but actually it is just reasonably historically accurate! As an (ex) historian, it warms the cockles of my heart. People who don't know history don't know that this stuff was normal. It reminds me of the time I wrote a thesis about gays in medieval england. I told my mum that I was writing a long essay about all of the gays in 12th century france and england and she was like, jesus mary and joseph, there were gays in the 12th century??? There was only one gay when I was growing up in Ireland. Fortunately her brother was with us at the time and he was like, fucking hell Clare, what the fuck do you think he did on his own, the only gay in Ireland?
That is how I choose to remember my mum (her birthday today - first one after she died the other month).
Also, as much as I fucking hate Sandman, episode 6 IS great.
