I’ve seen the “Mad Max movies only show us what’s happening in Australia so wouldn’t it be funny if the rest of the world was fine?” take and the “Fallout only takes place in the US so the rest of the world is fine,” take. But what about “They are both happening simultaneously but every other part of the world is ignoring them.”

everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but it’s mostly about kindness and family and it’s about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and it’s about telling your daughter that you’d choose her over the entire universe, and it’s about how even in the universes where life didn’t form, love can still exist. and it’s really all of that at once.

To be gentle to yourself when you're sick, when you're sad, when you are most vulnerable...it's the most important kindness you need to practice. And practice, and practice some more, until it's not that hard, until it becomes a habit.
