17. Empathy - Overwhelm: A character deeply understands and feels others' emotions but can become overwhelmed by them.

In a normal circumstance, I hate Netflix. However, they struck a deal to produce new episodes of Sesame Street and will ensure that the episodes remain free and accessible on PBS for all kids and for that, they deserve gratitude.

Additionally, unlike the deal previous struck with HBO, this one with Netflix also makes its so new episodes are simultaneously available via Netflix, PBS, and the PBS Kids app.

Please continue to support Sesame Street and all the other PBS programming via donations to ensure everyone, kids and adults alike, continue to have access to educational viewing.

“This is kind of a shit-ass of a letter, but I just wanted to let you know I was alive.”

- Gilbert Patterson to Jack, June 16, 1896.
