new adaptation of The color purple overview

This adaptation isn't just another black struggle movie. If you call it a black struggle movie and you didn't watch it, don't talk to me because we don't have anything to talk about. If you think it's a black struggle movie after you watched it, okay then. That's your educated perspective. I disagree.

The color purple is a very underrated coming of age story when it seems like all is hopeless and bleak. because of the way things start off, it's not even really seen as becoming of age story that it is.

Also, there's something very classist about how people don't want to believe that somebody who started so low, the lowest than anyone in our modern day could think is low, could come up and be successful.

But I certainly wouldn't suggest just anyone watch it. there are racially charged events. there is domestic violence. there is family violence. there's also using a teenager as a surrogate without her consent and forced teenage marriage. 

there's nothing about this movie that's convenient. I was also in this theater with a few other people, and unfortunately some of them were older and white. they were loud coming into the movie, and one of them laughed when the lady got hit across the face before she went to prison. I will say that the simulated violence and CGI does look kind of goofy, but white people laugh at weird shit. And they're old, so that's probably some of their parents grandparents and great grandparents being portrayed in the movie themselves. White people laugh at violence. White people laugh at their violence, but of course if you do violence to them it's not funny. 🙄 I hope replacement theory is real.

But I digress. 

yeah, It's a great movie and I suggest seeing it if your heart is in the right place.

Bewelcome won't get any better

With the recent implosion of Couchsurfing, people are flocking over to bewelcome and trusted roots in great numbers. Trusted Roots is pretty bare-bones in terms of user-to-user communication. They have a private messaging system, and they have a meat system that leaves much to be desired. But TR could possibly be focusing more on hosts and guests rather than Meats, but everything about it is pretty basic. Except for the map. Their map is actually very exceptional. Bewelcome has a lot of obvious potential to replace couch surfing in terms of popularity and usage, but unfortunately it won't. The main reason I've observed is that it's run by an older generation that isn't willing to shake on its Traditional Values for a younger Generations concerns. And my personal experience, I've made a suggestion and a group that were both rejected. I suggested a blocking feature, because with the growth of a user use usage, it's important for people to have agency over ...

Sonic the hedgehog hot take Sonic Boom

I don't know how or why, but they made #SonicBoom a situational comedy aimed at children. Children don't really go through situations that make their lives entertaining, so they really sat back and relied on Fourth Wall breaking to be relatable. Played really hard into the will they won't they between Sonic and Amy when we already know they won't. Hardly, had Shadow in there, but he shouldn't have been there, at all. It would have been best to leave Shadow out of it. With that, Sonic Boom broke all the rules that had been established throughout various parts of the Sonic Universe and up until then remained consistent.  If you're asking what could possibly can be consistent throughout the Sonic Multiverse, I have very simple answers to that question. Sonic is blue. Sonic goes fast. Sonic is always ready for action! Sonic Boom Sonic was pretty lazy, didn't even seem to like being a hero most of the time. The blue was questionable, and rarely did he go fast. He...

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking...
