Thank you for the DW points!

Thank you to my friend who gave me Dreamwidth points!! I super appreciate it! I have a whole bunch of icons now and I can post frivolous polls for 6 months.

As I am not using Twitter right now (possibly never again!), I am trying to use this space more.

I feel stuck in the apartment due to air quality alerts, so I am trying to clean and improve the space. I am watching a little bit of a show, cleaning for a few minutes, then going back to the show. Shows I've watched recently:

Somebody, Somewhere. HBO.
This is an interesting comedy about a woman, Sam, living in the small university town of Manhattan, Kansas. She's lonely and grieving but an old high school classmate named Joel befriends her. They have a ton of fun together. Joel and several of the other characters are queer. Sam is a fat woman and it was so nice to see her just using her body and enjoying it. She swims, walks, bikes, sings. She seems to be un-selfconscious in this way.

The Bear, season 2. Hulu.

This was so good...?! I was really into it. However, I skipped the Christmas episode, which seemed to be one hour of yelling, and did not take place at the restaurant, and did not have my favorite characters (Sydney, Tina, Marcus). I was very moved by some of the character arcs! I loved the music!

"The Bear" does not pass my friend's test of "are there any queer characters?" Which is odd in this day and age.
