Today's toast


Here’s to Jodi Foster and other such phenomenal individuals that are unquestionably in the limelight and still manage to carefully, expressively, and sure, publicly, take the opportunity to remind us (yes, the all-encompassing and problematically universal “Us”) that just because she makes/stars in/directs movies doesn’t mean she’s automatically: a) a spokesperson for her sexuality, b) required to share the name/gender/occupation/sock color and shoe size of the person she’s having sex with, or c) is contractually obligated to “answer” for the way she chooses to live her personal life. Whatever, whomever, however that may be. An articulately heartfelt “Fuck you”, and not a dry eye in the room. I’m enamored.

Slainte!
