I went into labor just hours after Daniel and I went to the movies to see The Nun, which was a terrible movie if you&#8217;re curious. This time around, I&#8217;ve been more interested in feel-good, wholesome shows, like Bob\u2019s Burgers and Parks and Recreation. But recently I&#8217;ve been drawn back into thrillers and horror, even though they truly make it hard for me to sleep at night. I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that I enjoy watching horror movies because I can&#8217;t just passively watch them (like I might with a drama or comedy); instead I&#8217;m gripped. It forces me to be present, an art I&#8217;m always working on, and I like that. I crave that. So this week, Daniel and I watched The Autopsy of Jane Doe on Netflix. It had a really nice slow build to some creepy scares. And Brian Cox was great as usual (have you seen him in Succession on HBO? He&#8217;s the best). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t go out and protest but are looking for a way to help, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/protests-covid-how-to-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here are some ideas<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an older article but it\u2019s a great read from Ta-Nehisi Coates: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2014\/06\/the-case-for-reparations\/361631\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Case for Reparations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nytimes.com\/2020\/06\/05\/health\/eating-disorders-coronavirus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Disordered Eating in a Disordered Time<\/strong><\/a><br>Social isolation and unstructured days add to the anxiety of those struggling to achieve a healthy relationship with food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to try these <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/skillet.lifehacker.com\/par-cook-sweet-potatoes-and-finish-them-on-the-grill-1843996729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">par-cooked sweet potatoes that you finish on the grill<\/a><\/strong>\u2014a great side for a summer meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my first pregnancy, I was obsessed with horror movies.
