Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a movie first and foremost about the destruction of minority neighborhoods and public transit by the American car industry. After that, it's a technological milestone. And then it's about cartoons

Anxiety About Dying

by Alicia Ostriker

It isn’t any worse than what I discover in the dentist’s chair under the nitrous oxide.

The whole jaw is going, I complain, the gums, the bone, two enormous fillings lost.  What do I need? Maybe a guillotine? says my dentist, the joker.

The only thing I have to fear is fear itself, I tell him. You believe that bullshit? he says setting to work on my rotting bicuspid.

Now comes the good part. Breathing the happy gas. I get answers to all the questions I had about death but was afraid to ask.

Will there be pain? Yes. Will my desires still be unsatisfied? Yes. My human potential remain unrealized? Yes.

Can a person stop minding about that? Certainly. Can I commend my spirit to the seventeen angels whistling outside the dentist’s window? Of course.

How nice the happy gas. What a good friend. I unclench my sweaty little hand.

I wave goodbye to my teeth. It seems they are leaving by train for a vacation. I’ll meet them in the country when I can.

the thing about going to bed early is that it doesn't stop you from being awake at one am anyway. doctors dont tell you this

writing badly and cringily is actually an essential part of the writing process, both in terms of individual projects and in gaining voice and confidence as a writer in the long term. there is no way around the cringe. there's no way around the work.

it took me two whole weeks to create this illustration... do you think it was worth it? 😂 a small tribute to the finale of the second act of arcane and one of my favorite scenes from the series. even now, i feel like crying every time i rewatch that final scene.. poor isha 🥺
