I could give a lot of answers for this, but early in 2017, I was going through a deeply depressing chapter in my life. "Big Little Lies" was a wonderfully distracting balm for that. I needed something to make more forget my pain for a bit, and it really delivered.
Other shows that have gotten me through tough times:

The West Wing
The Sopranos
Friends
Insecure
Mad Men
The Office
Parks 'n' Rec

All are comforting and can be watched repeatedly.
Shit, I forgot "Friday Night Lights". That definitely belongs here.
For what it's worth, I tried watching "Seinfeld" when I was really depressed, and it just didn't work for me. The cynicism was too potent. I need some heart in there.

Every rational adult who's from the south knows the only generic name for any carbonated, sugary beverage--regardless of brand--is "coke".
"Hey, can you grab me a coke?"

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper"

"Got it."
I saw you liked this tweet, @DrPepper, and I want to assure you that I can be bribed for marketing on my account with several cases of Dr. Pepper.

If you had told me a plot point of a movie was the villain attempting to ruin the career of an elected official by showing a video of them quite capably recreating the dance from “The Breakfast Club” in college, I’d have assumed it was some really bad Disney Channel flick.
Like... a kids movie where the villain is written like a 2x4 plank to the head in crayola.
The end of the movie is a big musical number and features Ally Sheedy—whom the producers have ironically cast as the villain in a wink to adult viewers—experiencing a redemption arc and leading the cast in a group dance.

I can honestly say this has been the most productive year of my life, by far, and I'm really proud of that. I wrote a *lot* of things, but here are three things I wrote for which I'm most proud. (very short thread)
In April, I had this exchange with some transphobic religious folks, and the moment became something that has meant a lot to me.

In August, I got upset over a lot of the ageism I've seen seeing toward older folks, so I wrote this.

Every so often I find it fun to try and re-articulate my worldview from scratch, often in the hope that there will be some new or interesting bit to it
1. We are cluelessly born into the middle of a bustling, chaotic story. We are tiny ants on a leaf on a branch on a tree, and everyone around us certainly seems to be in a great hurry
2. We start out as extremely local beings, embedded in our families, our peers, our communities. We inherit their beliefs, their aspirations, their traumas, their flags - most of which they inherited in turn. As children we are onboarded into their rituals and superstitions

Hey (American) people that are kinda/sorta around my age. Let's talk about our future.

Along with tackling climate change, we have another looming disaster -- a financial one. It was handed to us by Baby Boomers. (A small thread with mean jokes.)
Let's go back to right after World War II. Historically, the US debt-to-GDP ratio was around 30-40%. (Source: fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEGDQ… ) This is the only portion of this thread where I bring in a boring chart, I swear.
You'll notice that right around the time Ronald Reagan was elected President, this chart starts climbing. That's when Baby Boomers became the majority of the American electorate. It was Baby Boomers who shifted our debt policy, with literally no plan to repay their debt.

Suddenly remembering that I had said I would talk about the most ridiculous She-Ra criticism I've seen, when I got back from holiday travels. This involves a slight gag spoiler for the end of season 1 so I'll give a few minutes to mute me/this thread for people who don't want it.
Okay, so. The 2018 version of Swift Wind is a horse that the Best Friend Squad accidentally steal and then Adora accidentally transforms while trying to figure out how to work the sword in episode 3. There are a few scattered references to him, but he basically disappears...
...until episode 12. A lot of people were initially disappointed at Swift Wind becoming a one-off joke/non-talking horse until the big reveal, where it turns out he freaked out because he needed time to adjust to sudden sapience and new appendages.

"God, I want my future back." Those were the words I whispered to God two weeks ago, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. #Thread #Health #Life
In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go. So, I couldn't plan and I couldn't project forward.
Things like traveling or dating went out of the window. I was stuck on finding a solution to my health challenge. My tests are still ongoing. I'm still seeing doctors, but we think we now know what's wrong. And so, I am hopeful.

The hardest thing about being a therapist isn’t the emotional labor, or dealing with insurance, or even everyone & their brother wanting free help.

It’s patience. It’s being able to clock the client’s problem in the first 15 min but spending 6 months nudging their agency.
(Spoiler: Big Little Lies)

One of the best sequences in BLL is Celeste & her therapist. Doc knows from first meeting with Celeste & Perry that he’s an abusive shitstain, but Celeste isn’t ready for that. Respecting Celeste’s agency demands working through her process of ...
...We have a little communication problem
=>
This is our dynamic
=>
I’m just as responsible
=>
We’re okay except when we’re not
=>
OMFG He’s going to kill me if I don’t GTFO.

As far as I can tell, that’s something like 6 months in terms of show and about that in real therapy.
