As a precocious kid I’d decided to read Tom Sawyer and then Huckleberry Finn back to back. I mentioned this to my teacher, who then went on to wax rhapsodic about Huckleberry Finn and express her dismay that I vastly preferred Tom Sawyer (I had even reread it after finishing both books).

You can’t believe it because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with, and you’re also not empathetic enough to understand the perspective of another fellow human being, and how such a thing might…

Joss Whedon wanted Eric Balfour to be in the main credits for the first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so that Jesse’s death would come as a real shock. Reportedly they didn’t have the budget for it (though you gotta wonder how expensive making a slightly different edit of the title sequence, using existing foota…
