oregonjen's JournalWill & Harper is absolutely fantastic
Anybody watch it yet? I watched it last night. Funny at times, extremely moving and quite emotional.
“Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman. That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades. In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves -- this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces, and to each other, in this new light.”

First time getting Flu and Covid vaccines at the same time
Wow, they packed a punch!! Within 8 hours, 101 fever, chills, headache, skin hurt and nausea. I finally gave in and took Advil to help. I try going without pain meds, but every time I get vaccinated, the headache and fever are just too debilitating. I know they say it’s okay to take pain meds AFTER vaccinations, but I do worry that I halt my immune system by doing so.
How’d everyone else do, if you’ve been vaccinated this time around?

Adam Kinzinger on Jimmy Kimmel
Good interview. We may not agree on policy, but I appreciate him speaking out.
Anyone see the Northern Lights last night?
My app alerted me and I went out in the backyard. Couldn’t see them with my eyes, but my camera did. Got some pretty pics.
Also saw some shooting stars from the Perseid meteor shower. Stuff like this really brings life into perspective, our little blue dot floating in the universe, how magical it really is.

I haven’t read the book The Handmaid’s Tale, but I have seen the tv series. Very unsettling that this could be our last Independence Day. I sure hope the American people vote to save our Democracy.
Hate, intolerance and how it affects our children
I haven’t seen this topic come up and I wondered if our children are being affected by the former guy and the hate, fear, violence and quest for revenge he’s spreading.
There was a post on my community’s Facebook page made by a group of middle school teachers in my town asking for help. Apparently, this school year has been the toughest year any of them have ever seen. Intolerance, racial slurs, violence against the LGBTQ+ community, and much more are happening. The administration is somehow being threatened to not take action and the perpetrators are not being dealt with appropriately. This group of teachers are completely exhausted, scared and ready to quit if something doesn’t change. Their post on Facebook was to let the community know what’s been happening at our middle schools and to ask for help,
My question to this amazing DU community is: is this happing nationwide? Is the hatred, revenge and ugly behavior dripping down to our children? Have teachers and parents in other communities been experiencing a rise in threats, intolerance and violence as my community has?
I’m so sick of what is happening in our country and I’m scared for the future.
