As we eagerly await Season 3 of #Netflix’s hit show #NobodyWantsThis in the fall, here’s my take on how in Season 2, Joanne (#KristenBell) and Noah (#AdamBrody) must deal with the question of how much they can change who they are in order to be together. Showrunner #ErinFoster draws from her own experience converting to Judaism for her now husband to explore big questions with humor and nuance. https://youtu.be/X9GaVTsDAsw

I’m closing my Mitchell Kahan #tribute with the last time we saw him and Chris. Here we all are in San Miguel de Allende in 2019. It was a perfect day together. There were so many of those in his life. I’m grateful we got to share in some of them! #art #Akron

We absolutely adored the mindblowing exhibit by Cree artist Kent Monkman at the #AkronArtMuseum after Mitchell Kahan’s #memorial. It’s #indigenous, #queer, decolonial art at its most lyrical and powerful! #Art

Did you see the Daredevil finale? We saw the cast and crew, including #CharlieCox and #DeborahAnnWoll, #fimming the exciting a scene in #NYC. Check out our behind-the-scenes footage! The episode is now streaming on #Disney+ and I'm sure it's as riveting as watching the behind-the-scenes! #Marvel #MattMurdoch #DaredevilBornAgain https://youtu.be/0tHVr60SpwQ?si=l2Nl0...

After Mitchell Kahan’s #memorial, we strolled down one of the #AkronArtMuseum galleries he brought into the world. We each chose our favorite piece from the gallery to be photographed with. It wasn’t an easy task to choose from all the thought-provoking wonder on those walls! #art

Last Saturday, we celebrated the extraordinary life of our dear friend Mitchell Kahan, who as my husband Nate said is one of those rare people who left the world in better shape than he found it. As if Mitch’s friendship and generosity to so many weren’t enough, his memorial took place in the transcendent new wing he made possible during his 26 years as director of the Akron Art Museum. Like the Greek aphorism outside the home he shared with his beloved husband Chris Hixon says, “Life is short, but art is long.”

Can we inherit joy as deeply as fear? My new substack ultimately asks what truly connects mothers across generations, exploring ancestry, memory, and the invisible things passed between generations. #HappyMothersDay #MothersDay #Family #Venezuela open.substack.com/pub/alexandrahidalgo/p/what-conn… ‪@BirdingWithBillBow‬
