#Today I am rewatching one of my favorite movies, #WhoFramedRogerRabbit (1998). 10/10, no notes. Perfection.

It came out when I was about 10 years old & #JessicaRabbit awoke things in me. NGL, she still kinda does.

It's deeper than I remember; replace #Toon with #Black next time you watch it.

It shows an animated version of the experiences of neighborhoods like #Rondo and other communities of color impacted by #RacistPolicies in the name of "progress."

Incidentally when I read this article, I saw a pop up of a book by the paper that is an anthology of essays presumably published by the site. Is this becoming a common thing now to help create ancillary streams of revenue for newspapers and magazines? I saw one the other day for a series by Colin Woodard as the first.
