Note to self: whilst I want to keep watching films that raise vital social justice issues, these are best watched when there is then time to channel my outrage, rather than me try to sleep after. It's not even the first time I've watched The Imitation Game, and I rarely watch films twice. Once again I'm appalled, upset, and so angry. And of course I can't guarantee I would have stood up against homophobia or slavery even tho I'd like to think I would; and there are no doubt atrocities happening right now that I'm turning a blind eye to that future generations will ask why didn't I act.
The current book group book, Homegoing, is horrific too, about the treatment of black people throughout history. Right now I'm feeling pretty disgusted with how so many of us treat others. We still have a lot to learn.
