This was a stunning essay on grief and the complexities of family dynamics. I think my favorite section was about the similarities and differences between your hands and your mother's. It's a stunning detail and extrapolates the beauty within aging perfectly.

On a more silly note, I can't say I love every Fast and Furious movie but 4,5, and 6 are a near perfect trilogy and I'm glad you're having a great time with it. I thought 90 Day UK was so different from the original but wished it had been more finished at the end. It felt kinda abrupt to me. And I can't wait for the Barbie movie. It looks incredible!

So sorry for your loss, but beautiful writing. For a completely different tone, I also love Daisy May Cooper and she was great on Taskmaster, the full season is on YouTube as it’s an older one: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRWvNQVqAeWIcz0Ky6pnrKkqsp3MA7o_n

A small moment in this gorgeous piece of writing, but the phrase/image “spend hours in the computer lab researching” took me riiight back! 💚

Always in awe of how you go from this strong voice capturing grief to being a comedian in one piece.
