Hazel and Jamie prefer to shop in my favorite place to shop when all you had was department stores: the clearance racks.

I love the little things that age this comic series, and one of those little things is: the mall.

Taiwan is submitting the film Left-Handed Girl‘ as its official submission for the Oscars for “Best International Feature Film”:
“Mere months after sweeping the 97th Academy Awards with “Anora,” Sean Baker is making a tangential return to the Oscar race. The auteur co-wrote and edited “Left-Handed Girl,” the solo debut of his “Take Out” co-director Shih-Ching Tsou, which has been selected as Taiwan’s official Oscar submission.
Like “Take Out,” “Left-Handed Girl” is set in the restaurant industry, following a mother-daughter-daughter relationship in Taipei as the family attempts to open a food business. An official synopsis for the film reads: “A single mother and her two daughters return to Taipei after several years of living in the countryside to open a stand at a buzzing night market. Each in their way will have to adapt to this new environment to make ends meet and maintain the family unity. But when their traditional grandfather forbids his youngest left-handed granddaughter from using her ‘devil hand,’ generations of family secrets begin to unravel.””
I recently came across the trailer on YouTube, which I have embedded above.
I’m very interested to see this film. I know a cousin of mine is left-handed, but when he was growing up, my aunt made him use his right hand. In many parts of Asia, it’s a big taboo to be left-handed, which I find personally quite irrational. In a quick Google search, I came across this study: Why are there (almost) no left-handers in China?.
Left-Handed Girl will be shown in select theatres November 14. It will stream on Netflix beginning November 28.

2009 was a bit late for this trend, mercifully, but: do we all remember when baby blue/pink was matched with brown for like, every wedding in the early aughts?
Just a reminder!
Here's the original black-and-white for this one! Here's the color chaser!
lee_bella posting in anime_mangapost_secret_feedHi Frank,
In 2012 when I was 16 years old, I was date-raped by my then boyfriend at a party. A story not altogether dissimilar to the secret you posted this week from a person who was assaulted by a friend and was considering suicide. It took me 2 years to realize what had happened to me and what that meant, despite it being painful and causing bleeding for weeks. My brain had hidden the memory deep inside to protect me.
In my secret I wrote to you in 2015 I said that I was mad at myself for taking so long to figure it out and that I couldn’t forgive myself. I was considering suicide and felt too much shame to tell anyone about what had happened to me. I felt weak and that I had let myself down. But I was lucky enough to find a supportive community and was eventually able to talk to a therapist about my experience. It took time and a lot of work to overcome the crippling PTSD I didn’t realize I was struggling with. But I DID make it!
These days, I don’t think about it and if I do, it no longer has any power over me. I have forgiven myself and now I have a wonderful partner who respects me and never makes me feel unsafe. Moving on wasn’t easy but it is SO worth it. EMDR saved my life and allowed me to see that I was in fact strong and that life was worth living.
I guess I just wanted them to know that they are not alone. Unfortunately 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men in the US will experience sexual assault in their lifetimes. But, IT DOES GET BETTER! This is not your fault and that person was never really a friend at all. You deserve to be safe and loved. You are not tainted or ruined, you are so incredibly strong. I hope you are able to find the help you need and are able to give yourself grace. We are not victims, we are survivors.
Much love from one survivor to another,
J.
PS: If I submitted a secret today it would probably say something like, “I am not my past. I change everyday and I can’t wait to see who I become.”

Alto's was a real bar near Shepherdstown back in the day but it was not remotely as classy as that one looks. They did have 25¢ somethings - pints? Whole pitchers?? Who knows. I just remember something was under a buck and we took advantage of it (but not often enough, imo).
