🔖 Read How Wednesday Addams Birthed a Generation of Cynics by Emily Alford (Longreads).

This is my favorite Wednesday think piece so far.

Ricci’s Wednesday was devious, quietly furious, and most importantly, content to be so.

@KimberlyHirsh What a lovely read. I don't think I've seen the 1991 Ricci movie.

@pratik Oh wow. Super formative film for me.

@UndamnedOne @KimberlyHirsh Added both to my Watchlist. Will watch them with my son. He loved Wednesday

@pratik It'll be different - less supernatural, more suburbia. But Jenna Ortega definitely draws on Christina Ricci's Wednesday. Hope you have fun with them!

@KimberlyHirsh “Fantasizing about a lobotomy is a normal response to the last three years; believing that a $40 scented candle counts as self-care is not.” Best sentence I’ve read in a long time.

@UndamnedOne Right? Wednesday Addams doesn't buy into the wellness industrial complex.

@pratik Both my kids loved both movies
