Hi Friends!
Welcome and thank you for being a subscriber to my newsletter. Here is another Friday Recs weekly post. A list of all the things I found worthwhile this week. Feel free to forward this along to friends.
It’s the end of the week! Here’s a fun, thought-provoking video for conversations with your friends this weekend! Monogamy ARTument
A movie I’m enjoying
M3gan (IMDb)
M3gan was as good as it was creepy. I thought it’d be like Annabelle - my fault for not watching the trailer. But I enjoyed the modern take on the “demonically possessed doll” trope - a good-looking doll at that. Would definitely recommend it.
Video I’m enjoying
Film Theory: END the Avatar Cycle! (Avatar the Last Airbender) by The Film Theorists
I loved Avatar The Last Airbender and I loved Legend of Korra even more. But! And this is a big but, The Film Theorists makes some incredibly convincing points to support the title of the video.
If you’re an Avatar Last Airbender fan you should definitely check it out. If you haven’t seen avatar before, then you’re missing out!
Chapter 1 - Gods and Monsters | DC Studios | DC by DC
I was literally on the edge of my sit - figuratively and literally - while watching the DC God’s and Monsters announcement video. I’m always wary of people who come around waving the banner of “change” but, in this case, I’m actually hoping things will go well. More than well in fact. James Gunn has a plan and I find that plan epic.
Might this be the DCU we DC fans all hope and dream of?
Oh, I do pray it is!
Also, don’t you just love James Gunn’s hair?
What I’m reading
The Art and Business of Online Writing: How to Beat the Game of Capturing and Keeping Attention by Nicolas Cole (@Nicolascole77)
I have been highlighting the heck out of this book. There’s this chapter on the Levels of Success when it comes to Online Writing which I’ve reread twice now. It’s packed with so much. I’m currently on “Engineering Credibility” and finally understand why “chasing clout” is actually a good strategy if you want to be a writer.

I appreciate it
Quote I’m thinking about
"The ability to love yourself improves your ability to be loved.
We are unlikely to accept a relationship that is worse than the one we have with ourselves, and thus the person who is happy and comfortable with themselves is in a great position.
The person with healthy self-esteem doesn't have to jump into any relationship because they already have a great one wherever they go."
