    AND THIS IS #TheDoubleTax. It's why the movie "The Help" irks me to no end. Not only are women the backbone of taking care of kids, parents, elderly, disabled, sick, etc., but women of color disproportionately bear that burden especially for white families. bsky.app/profile/jess...

    We live in a country that *has* A24, but this is not an electorate with A24 tastes. This is a country that put "The Help" in the Netflix top 10 after that cop choked the life out of George Floyd. Kimmel ... appeals to that demo.

    All white people “fighting “ for Palestine are nothing but white characters from book/ movie the Help. Pretending to care about people milion miles away, while ignoring struggles at home. And I say that as a white woman.

    It reminds me of a scene from the movie "The Help".. But that was between an ignored white baby girl and her loving black maid/nanny in the early 60s in Mississippi. True love sees no color, no disability. This mom is wonderful in every way possible. ♥️

    I rarely watch movies when they first come out. 1) Montana always gets trends last. As in the good movies, fashion, new music, etc. with a few exceptions. So I saw my guy watching a show that looked good and watched all but the very beginning. It was The Help. Holy shit that was a powerful movie.

    The Woman Who Smashed Codes is a good non-fiction book. (It’s on audiobook - would that tick 2 boxes?) A movie based on a book? Good ones are The Martian, The Help, Hidden Figures, Project Hail Mary, and Remarkably Bright Creatures. It’s an oldie, but The Bastard by John Jakes is historical fiction

    the movie “The Help” focuses on the racism that African American maids faced from their white bosses, but this isn’t be ethical storytelling bc it doesn’t cover other experiences of racism of other races and it the ending makes ppl assume that the issue of racism is solved. #hwa6 #moralnarrative
