The most ambitious debaters go out of their way to absorb information about sexual violence, racial profiling, police brutality: issues many of them will never experience firsthand. I did the same thing. Did it make me more empathetic and self-aware? Or did it just continue to affirm the idea that if I were smart and competitive enough, I could speak for anyone I wanted?

Nicole: Which I look back on with, now I'm like - there's nothing I can do - there's no ridiculous thing I could do that would, uh, separate me from Danny. Danny: I think, for both of us, going through those moments and having those conversations and seeing the ways in which our friendship did not need to rely on being the same people that we had been previously in order to, like, flourish and thrive and be real and meaningful. And, my love for Nicole is not rooted in being able to predict what she is going to say or do or think or want, but it's rooted in her being Nicole and that only she kind of understands what that means and only she gets to decide what that looks like next. And my joy is that I get to experience that with her, not, like, I get to like keep tabs on what I think she's going to do next or what's okay for her to do next. And that makes her sound, like, really abstract and what I really just mean is like, the project that is Nicole is always changing, just like me.
I am always trying to impress you. This is also true for me.

As the sexual tension builds, The Priest suggests one night over whiskey that perhaps Fleabag might want to confess her sins. She’s been hiding a lot from him—how Boo died, why she can’t stop punishing herself—but she does not admit any of that. Instead, she recites a litany of her desires, a striking monologue that is pure Waller-Bridge, skating the fine line between weakness and danger. “I want someone to tell me what to wear every morning,” she says. “I want someone to tell me what to eat, what to like, what to hate, what to rage about, what to listen to, what band to like, what to buy tickets for, what to joke about, what to not joke about. I want someone to tell me what to believe in, who to vote for, who to love, and how to tell them. I want someone to tell me how to live my life, because so far, I think I’ve been getting it wrong.”
 By the end of her confession, Fleabag is in tears, but The Priest doesn’t offer her comfort. He later succumbs to Fleabag’s charms and breaks his sacred vows to spend a night with her. The two keep flip-flopping, in a constant exchange of control and dominance, until they need to make a final decision whether to walk away or stay together. He doesn’t want to abandon his faith for her, but he also doesn’t want to lose her. She wants to open herself up to love, but she also knows that he is cosmically unavailable. I won’t spoil the ending, except to say that it’s about letting go. In the final episode, Fleabag turns to the camera, and she asks it not to follow her. Wherever she is off to next, we cannot come along.

Some time later, Wilde received a note from Spielberg that read: “If you wanna be a doctor, look before you leap. If you wanna be in show business, leap before you look.”

O.W.: “Comedy is like a slingshot. It only works if the tension is pulled back. But it’s so true that the stories that you’ve chosen to tell are all about someone very human, like choosing the path of light and love.”

my most spoiled take is, as someone whose job it was to get mendocino farms for years and years, they really should raise their prices so they can weed out a lunch crowd that is in the way of me picking up a regular megaorder. it seems easier to do this than to be better managed? ps ilysm mendo
