I loved everything about this scene, especially that Sasha actually left. There’s this cliché that the civilian of the week disobeys the order to leave and ends up saving the day, and I hate it. Being smart enough to realise when you’re out of your depth and trusting the professionals to do their job isn’t a sign of weakness. Quite the opposite, actually.

Tumblr completely erasing the work of a Black activist/artist while simultaneously finding ways to slander an LGBTQ Jewish person at the same time due to literally not bothering to find out what the film was about in the first place? I’m shocked.
I’ve coined a new term for the gallows humor that my generation indulges in because we have an overheating planet, a dim political future, a crushing economy, and a real avocado toast problem:
