The finale of Fellow Travelersis now streaming, ahead of its Sunday night airing on Showtime—a conclusion to one of the year’s best series that is gorgeous, devastating, and cathartic in equal measure.
The story of a tortured-yet-beautiful romance between two men over decades, the show waltzed through those emotions throughout the entire season, as Matt Bomer’s Hawk and Jonathan Bailey’s Tim weather the historical circumstances that prevented their deserved happily ever after. Bomer’s nuanced performance as an infatuated, conflicted man is the best work of his career, and, in the emotion-packed finale, Bailey is a revelation. Across multiple timelines, he showcases how intertwined grit, defiance, and joy in spite of darkness are for gay men determined to make their lives mean something in a world that actively works to strip them of dignity.
The series spans Hawk and Tim’s meet-cute during the Lavender Scare and McCarthyism-led panic of the 1950s through the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The final scene, set at the unveiling of the AIDS Memorial Quilt at the National Mall in D.C. that might as well have been an anvil plummeting straight onto my heart, it shattered me so much.
There are two images in the final episode that have seared into my brain since I first watched, tableaus charting the arc of a doomed, yet life-changing relationship. First is Hawk and Tim slow dancing naked in the privacy of a secret apartment and, later, Tim’s head nestled on Hawk’s chest as they take a post-coital nap—moments of bliss stolen in a society that won’t allow them that pleasure. Then there’s a mirror of that position decades later, when Hawk climbs into Tim’s hospital bed to cradle him, as Tim struggles through a rough night during his last days battling AIDS.
The power of those moments is amplified by Bailey’s performance. In the earlier timeline, his wide, giddy eyes betray a man fully aware of his good fortune to be so madly in love, cognizant of how precarious and fleeting the feeling could be and determined to live in the splendor of it. Later, as he faces death, his resignation to fate is not one of defeat, but a catalyst for clarity.
So much of his life was impacted—some might say ruined—by his inability to move on from his connection to Hawk. But in a sensational monologue delivered after Hawk questions how much pain he’s caused Tim, Tim corrects the narrative: “I spent most of my life waiting for God to love me. And then I realized the only thing that matters is that I loved God. It’s the same with you. I’ve never loved anyone but you. You were my great, consuming love. Most people don’t get one of those. I do. I have no regrets.”
Bailey’s performance of this monologue stunned me. It is spoken with such certainty, an outpouring of a lifetime of emotion funneled into a searing, pointed declaration. He’s speaking to not only a complicated romance with his lover, but also on behalf of generations of gay men whose great loves were colored and, it often seemed, marred by the misfortune of the times in which they were kindled. That’s the revelation that Tim, through Bailey’s delivery, speaks to: There’s no misfortune when it comes to love; we may now be aware of the hideousness with which society treated (and still treats) the gay community, but how dare we assume that the love found was any kind of misfortune.
I’ll be thinking about this episode, that monologue, and Bailey’s performance for a long time. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Hello again friends 😁
This time is one of those few times when I don't bring you new Fanart. Today I want to introduce you to one of my OC (Original Character), which is based on two series that I enjoyed a lot as a teenager. One is obviously Dragon Ball and the other was called SWAT Kats, both shaped how to draw in a certain way, although at that time I believed that my idea was very original, over time I realized that many things I was directly copying hahaha.
I tried several times to make a comic of the story, which would involve aliens experimenting with living beings from Earth and other planets, resulting in mutations that unleashed chaos on a universal level. But I remember that as I grew older I lost motivation when I met artists who were too superior and had an enviable ability to create.
But here we are today trying to recover the practice :D
😉 I hope you like it and if so, help me with your like, comment, share, save or whatever comes to mind ✌️�� Thank you all very much in advance for following my content, and wherever you are I hope tomorrow is better!

Stupid article. Somebody at dailybeast is desperate to make some minimum wage writing it.
Never mind if there’s any truth to it, just the fact that the title is a bait to write about ukrainian draft dodgers is just low life journalism scraping bottom of barrels.
A terrifying secret is that this article might’ve been written by ai like many in the past few months and dailybeast cannot hide it anymore.

Kayleigh Donaldson, I usually like your articles but I seriously hope you aren't implying that what happened to Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave, who got blacklisted by right-wing conservative institutions, is the same as people getting angry at Dolly Parton for collaborating with a transphobic and racist asshole 😮‍💨

Hm. Actually I think if there's a real room temperature superconductor that would be just a tad more important than a fancy statistical chatbot. But thank you for your input, dailybeast

That moment when you find out the anti-Zionist Jewish friend you have has been getting all their news, positions, and rhetoric from BreakThrough News. It explains so much of their sentiments towards the West in general, not just Israel. If you're unaware, The DailyBeast did a thorough report and investigation on BTN and how it's just a propaganda piece for the B, R, C, and S of BRICS. Many of its content creators are former Sputnik and RT personnel. They've downplayed the war in the Ukraine and repeatedly put out pro-Russia propaganda. They currently still put out pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine pieces, but also put out pro-Hamas/anti-Israel material as well.
They are part of an ever growing network of anti-Western media that defend the regressive policies of Russia and China while garnering support from Leftists who may find those policies bad, but are so driven by anti-Western rhetoric and belief that they're willing to make allies of of people, organizations, and governments that would likely see them stripped of their rights, imprisoned, and/or dead.
Please give their article a read.
I personally found this particular bit interesting:
BreakThrough’s filings, meanwhile, show it operates out of the People’s Forum in Manhattan, another organization that has acknowledged receiving dark money donations from Singham—whom the group praised on Twitter as “a Marxist comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to nonprofits that focus on political education, culture & internationalism.” To date, Singham-linked groups have donated almost $20 million to the People’s Forum.
Sitting on the People’s Forum’s board is Claudia De La Cruz, who pulls triple duty as BreakThrough’s secretary and as a “co-coordinator/educator” for the Justice and Education Fund. An auditor’s report filed in New York shows that more of Singham’s money trickled down to BreakThrough from the Forum in the form of $80,575 in donated rent in 2021, the most recent year for which filings are available.
But when The Daily Beast visited the People’s Forum address, it found a bookstore hawking tomes by Prashad and titles from his Leftword imprint, as well as a coffee shop and an event space—but no evidence of a studio. What’s more, none of BreakThrough’s hosts appear among the staff listed in the outlet’s filings. Rather, the underlying nonprofit’s leadership consists of figures like De La Cruz who donate an hour a week to the organization, and who like De La Cruz are affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a small far-left sect that does not appear to receive substantial donations from Singham or from anybody else. The PSL does, however, appear as an allied group to the International People’s Media Network on its webpage. Puryear and Becker, two of the BreakThrough anchors, are co-founders of the party.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not surprised due to the community they are part of. But it's really telling that they'll claim Zionists are spreading propaganda, are paid propaganda shills, and all the other lines we've heard since October while they themselves are spreading stuff like this. Yes there's the cliche line that every accusation is a projection, but I think in this case, because I know the individual so well, that it's sheer willful ignorance because those unvetted sources support The Narrative.

Just saw the dailybeast article. How did you know/predict Kate wouldn't be seen until potentially the fall?
It just seems obvious to me. There is clearly no plan for Kate to return to duties anytime soon and she usually disappears from July until mid-September every year anyway.

Dailybeast article-Catherine under incredible stress. by u/alreadydoneit01
Dailybeast article-Catherine under incredible stress. I am not sure if somebody already posted. But the dailybeast had an article about Catherine being under incredible stress the last few years. I still don't know how to archive-if someone does, will add to post. But doesn't seem like a markle puff piece.Kate Middleton Is Suffering From ‘Intense Stress,’ Friends Say (yahoo.com) post link: https://ift.tt/pvY7VPa author: alreadydoneit01 submitted: March 16, 2024 at 03:09AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

FOX will never have someone on again with different views than the predetermined narratives they are pushing.

Dailybeast's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war has been disappointing. 6 Palestinean journalists have been killed when Israel bombed Gaza, but the Dailybeast chose to only cover the deaths of Americans living in Israel, one of them being a soldier serving in the IDF. Really tells you whose lives the US news media values, doesnt it?
