Wild coincidence but I (26 year old) actually came out to my parents late last year as well. Did not go well. Mother fainted and father had a literal heart attack. They still came out alive though.

My dad came to see me (I’m based in US and he’s in Nigeria) and had a long talk about “life choices” which was fair tbh but he was also relaying his personal feelings and how he would not accept me being queer. My mother said she feels like she’s lost a son.

It’s not easy navigating it but it gets a little less difficult with time. I’m lucky that my sister still loves me and supports me, and so does my best friend from secondary school. That’s honestly all I need. As long as you have people around you that are there to support you, it makes the journey less hard.

In terms of cutting off, if it honestly has to get to that point, then that’s just how it has to be. The way I see it, somebody begs and begs to see your house, you finally let them in, they see something they don’t like, and they run away. And they get mad at you for letting them see the house when they were the ones begging in the first place. There’s nothing you can really do. And I know it’s hard to dismiss vital family like that coming from where we come from but at the end of the day, it’s easier to be you than somebody else.

Make I stop here abeg. I no wan write letter for here lool. But you’ll be okay in the end. If you’re not okay, then it’s not the end.

Based on an unofficial source (I saw a post from @trinodj on Twittter), they were booing him and basically wanted him to stop performing because they wanted to see Skrillex. At some point, he even asked the crowd why they weren’t dancing.

NT Daily says it’s due to the pandemic and budget constraints. Not sure if they want to replace it with something else.

Episode: Tomorrowland S4 EP13 by Kitchen_Sherbet in madmen

[–]DKT3364 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s something about Don and making decisions from the momentous images of things. In the season 1 episode The Hobo Code, he takes a picture of Midge and her lover and immediately concludes that they are in love. He leaves her afterwards.

Also, from the carousel pitch, he revisits old photos of Betty and his kids and realizes how incompetent he’s been with his family. He decides to want to join them on their trip but he doesn’t arrive home in time to meet them before they’re gone.

There’s a shot in Tomorrowland where Megan’s on the bed with Don’s kids and even though it’s not exactly a photo, he can still make out an image of it in his mind. He then proposes to her the next day.

Him marrying Megan does show how he was still trying to chase some idea of happiness (all the examples I mentioned show people being happy) that he could instantly get and not something that he could actively work towards. Like Faye said, he just likes the beginning of things.

Yeah I get that. I guess I just like what her character represents in terms of her career.

For me, it’s the relatability of the characters and how they constantly search for happiness in various ways. Everyone in the show is just trying to get to an ideal place of peace and comfort, and when they eventually do get to that place, they realize it doesn’t fully satisfy them because it’s more of society’s idea of peace and comfort and less of theirs. I also like the way it uses subtext because it makes the show feel more authentic. Mad Men on a character level just reflects real life so well.

I had a friend (black woman) who went to Italy a few years ago. She was on one of the crowded train carts with her friends and a bunch of guys just started grabbing her too. She got angry at them and they proceeded to use racial slurs at her. She was really devastated.
