In an interview shot inside a van chock-full of costumes, Selena giggles as she answers the question: “What’s your final goal?”

Her answer was ready: “Mercedes Benz. I don’t care if I have to live in it!” texasobserver.org/the-love-and

Crap. I included the wrong menu snapshot. Beyond the 117min of the #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #documentary, this is some of the BONUS content on the disc:
✅ 7min of Intros, Backstory & video from the Variety interview
✅ 48min of "Deleted Scene" stories from the set not included in the documentary
✅ 15min of discussion w/ the Directors
✅ 13min clips of dedicated DS9 Fans

From Francesca D'Annunzio in our magazine: Tejano music superstar Selena Quintanilla has been gone for 30 years, but the late singer’s family is sharing unseen footage of her life in a new documentary. texasobserver.org/the-love-and

I'm finishing up the Martha Stewart documentary on Netflix. What a complicated story. So many thoughts.

First of all, born in 1941, she's the same age as my mom, which is mind blowing. (My mom has not aged as well.)

She's an Ayn Rand "ideal man" erm, woman. Very Dagny Taggart, a type of person I once aspired to be before I unpacked that. She's got the goods, not a fake at all, true exceptionalism, which she needed to succeed at the time that she did, and then to re-succeed after prison.

But that also required her to be a bitch, and all the double standards that come with that, both directions in the hierarchy. I'm not getting the sense that she was ever a mean-spirited bitch, but toxic perfectionism as a motive is still toxic.

Comparing her to my mom, I do understand the world she came up in, and why she is the way she is. (For instance, she has always dodged when interviewers want to talk about her feelings or anything bad.) That said, she is capable of empathy and learning, but also she comes from SO MUCH privilege.

I always did think she was a scapegoat in that trade scandal. Guess who prosecuted her? Yeah, James fucking Comey.

But she seems to have learned things in prison, and according to this show, she made genuine friendships with all the women she met there.

It really is like an Ayn Rand plot. With both all its problems, inspiration, and provoked thoughts. The ultimate flaw is that no matter how hard anyone works, not everyone can be Martha Stewart. There are a limited number of slots, and competition is fierce. And if you're not from the right democratic, and manage to get that far, you'll be crucified the first chance they get.

I'm more interested in creating a society where there are enough slots for everyone to be successful, and that we can define success in our own way.

WOW! They legit released the entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary, "What We Left Behind" on YouTube!

Archival footage brings viewers to Selena’s humble beginnings, from the foreclosure on the family’s home and restaurant in Lake Jackson after the decline of the town’s economy to a brief flash of a local social services office where the Quintanillas waited to file papers for food stamps.
