Gorgeous difficult interview.
The line about making other people uncomfortable - that there is a cost to dealing with discomfort, and that people, especially women are expected to bear that cost - I think this should be acknowledged more.

The emptiness of Pyongyang, and the careful expressions on almost everyone’s face. The photographs of the food shop and children are the most painful to me. Really good colour and framing to suggest intense staged shots with tiny painful details.
Playdough is like blu-tack for babies. You can stick anything on them.

I had gone to visit the lovely man in the hospital every day. I knew his condition was terminal, and as his pastor, these moments were precious.
The nurse came in and I started to excuse myself. But the patient said, “Don’t leave.” Then turning to the nurse, he introduced me. “Betty, I want you to meet my girlfriend, Carol.”
I laughed, stretched out my hand to shake the nurse’s and said, “Actually, I’m the REVEREND Carol Howard Merritt, his PASTOR. You can call me Carol, but he is not allowed to call me ‘girlfriend.’” I gave him a stern sideways glance and shook my head.
Some practical advice - I especially like her note on anger which is often seen as a sin when it’s more neutral like fire.

Commander Sam Vimes is Ironhead (I was also considering Copperman or Stoneface).
Captain Carrot Ironfounderson is Captain Ankh-Morpork And Its Supporting Rural Environs.
Sergeant Detritus is The Incredible Splatter. It’s like a Hulk, only splattier.
Sergeant Fred Colon is Wowhawk, expert marksman whose arrows seek out dragons’ voonerables even - no especially - if it’s a million-to-one shot.
Captain Angua Von Uberwold is Blonde Wolf. She spends a lot of her time pissed off, not least because somehow ‘Blonde Wolf’ fails somehow to sound as sexy and mysterious as ‘Black Widow’ or ‘Scarlet Witch’.
Sergeant Cheery Littlebottom is (sorry) Phwoar.
They are brought together by the shadowy Havelock Vetinari, Agent of W.A.T.C.H. (probably) to protect the Disc from threats the like of which it has never - well, yet another cataclysmic threat, anyway.
The background elements which are stock, and the Tower of Art belongs to Jack Saxon.

When I was in preschool there was this really weird system of time-out where they’d put you in this giant plastic bucket sort of like this one:
And the rule was you couldn’t leave the bucket for ten minutes.
In case you didn’t know, I was what the teachers referred to as a…

A MAN LOOKS AT HIS LIFE, A MAN LOOKS AT HIS CHOICES
A man does have beauteous highlights, though.
