Places in life:

1) After I gave their family some lemon dessert bread from a local bakery in the one college town that I now live in, my one (half British) (half Sudanese) friend (the sister of the brother-sister pair) said that her kids really enjoyed it, and the next day after they ate it, they wanted more, and she had to be like, “But you ate it all yesterday,” and then her young daughter was like, “Oh, yeah."

2) My one friend who does television work and has for years, even getting into the appropriate trades union there, has told me that he’s now looking to get out of it…  The boom-and-bust cycle of employment when series come into town is getting to him, and he’s not sure how AI will affect the effects industry and reconfigure a need for many positions, and plus their health and pension plan seems like it’s being mismanaged but the union electorate isn’t diligently concerned enough, so who knows what will happen with that. But, he’s looking online, and he says everything is part-time and independent contractor, nowadays, so he can't figure a path out, into something better.
