    pigeons, queer theory, bilingual kindergartens…it all just makes sense. for a conflict so complicated, your “spitfire” of spoken word is clear and simple. amazing filming job, especially the rays of sun coming through. you guys have an incredible partnership going on.

    pigeons are radical. “i was just looking for a line that would put me squarely in the consensus.”
