Age of Ultron, non-spoilery.

So, I enjoyed that. It had the virtues and vices of a superhero movie written and directed by Joss Whedon, and those who like that sort of thing will find it to be exactly the sort of thing they like.

I strongly suspect that large parts of it won't stand up under close examination and have therefore decided not to subject it to one.

It's not that I don't think other people ought to, I'm just basically content to mutter "This ... is a job for FANFIC PERSON" and call it a day.

I haven't said anything about the Freddie Gray case, or subsequent events, because ... I don't think the world needs another dose of horrified despair from a white chick.

But if you're in the streets - or online, or otherwise - fighting for justice right now, know that I'm praying for your safety, your mental health, and your success.

And if you want to come tell me about rioters, go read Ta-Nehesi Coates or someone, and then ask yourself what forbearance, what love of peace and justice, what capacity for grace, is here that so many Black men and women and boys and girls have been slaughtered and the worst that has come out of the pain and anger their communities rightly feel is some property damage.

And now, back to ephemera
