Would your ex go if the situation was reversed? Would she be willing to “put all the bad blood behind”? Not if she had any self respect. Frankly, I think just asking you is an insult in itself. It puts the onus on you to be the “bad guy”.
Your feelings are completely valid. Your son is old enough to understand the basics. DO NOT GO. She’ll ask, but don’t bother explaining why. She lost her right to know your heart when she betrayed you.
If twitter users think it’s barely tolerable now, they should imagine how bad it’ll get once Trump actually takes office. They need to switch TODAY.
There doesn’t have to be, but there certainly can be!
Apparently a fan shaded the green witches face to make the movie poster look like the broadway poster. The actress who plays the green witch complained about it online, saying (among other things) that it “erased” her. While I did understand her point, I also thought at the time that it was an overly defensive response, and the worst possible take on something that was probably made by a loyal fan. Importantly, she later apologized for her initial reaction. I respect that. We all get carried away sometimes.
Sorry I haven’t provided any links. I’m at work.
Edit: just search “wicked poster controversy” and several stories will pop right up.
Edit 2: This seems to be a good one. It covers the bases well enough, while not going into exhaustive detail.
Telling them won’t make things easier, for them or you. I can’t emphasize that enough. What, exactly, are you expecting to happen? Hugs and an understanding goodbye? Not. Gonna. Happen.
Have you considered not telling them?
A crisis causes people to react in severe ways, and believe me, people will consider this a crisis. There will be tears of sadness and anger. You’ll hear the same tiresome lecture, and have to answer the same condescending questions, over and over. If you ask them to keep things within the immediate family, other people will “magically” find out (the most generous interpretation is that you’re laying something incredibly heavy on your family; it’s to be expected that some of them will need to talk about it with friends.) Some of the people you didn’t tell will even have the nerve to contact you, and force their moral “advice” down your throat.
Best case: your final interactions with the people you love will be sad and painful, and perhaps angry. Worst case: you’ll be put on informal “suicide watch”, and learn to hate and distrust the people you expected support from.
Spend some quality time with whoever you were planning to tell. Say goodbye in your heart, but don’t tell them it’s goodbye. Make some pleasant final memories.
Well, an elementary piece of acting advice is “draw on your life experiences”, so…
As I recall (I haven’t seen the movie in years) Spacey was pretty damn good.

Switch to a part time job.
Anything pro-suicide
Yeah, because at least they’re outside and doing something social, instead of being a hermit like me.
When I first heard about the brown M&M thing, I thought it was just celebrities being petty, or maybe a joke. Years later, when I heard Roth’s explanation, I thought it was absolute genius.
I didn’t know until right now that Yahoo even had a streaming service.
I’ve lived in America all my life. Thank you for this interesting outside perspective. I never would have guessed that the ADA is held in such high regard!

Sometimes, I see a quality discussion between principled people who care deeply about the issues. They both want to do what’s best, but simply disagree on what “best” is.
Their opinions can be so far apart, though, that they’re unable to even comprehend the other position.
I remember an interview where Al was talking about his early career. Madonna asked him “When ya gonna do ‘Like a Surgeon’”? They talked about it, and she said “But only if I can be in the video.” Al, who was MUCH less popular than Madonna at the time, couldn’t say “Okay!” fast enough.
Max. Better than Netflix any day.
I remember those! I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still in use. I’ve never used the drive-through lane at my bank. I can deposit checks online by taking a picture of it (which still seems weird to me), and I use the ATM for everything else.
Not having an opinion is MUCH better than sticking to an uninformed opinion with stubborn fervor. Nobody can possibly know everything, so it’s perfectly fine to take time out to research something, or decide that it’s not worth your time and forget about it completely.
