talked to mom for an hour or so, feeling better

not following the needles

dad threatened to make the call bad but mom stopped him

that's good!

talked about Queen's Gambit and Midsommar and Wandering Earth

my parents, dad especially, do have an ironic fondness for stupid disaster movies

so I thought I had to mention it

mom's stance on Hereditary is "please don't even tell me the PREMISE"

also talked about gender and nb/trans culture a bunch

I mentioned Contrapoints
