I’m actually in the mood to see trafficking made fun of. I was trafficked, (though not snatched) and I don’t think it should be above spoofing, if done right. Whether this is done right is another matter. I actually think Marina’s situation in Pericles (Shakespeare) is good satire, though I doubt it was intended that…

On a more serious note, it’s nice to see In the Land of Blood and Honey made a difference. It wasn’t a very good movie.

I look ghastly in black, and I’m a witch, with formerly black hair, too. Most of the witches I’ve known have gone for chakra colours rather than basic black (other than one who wore nothing but black, and looked stunning in it), but maybe it depends on the flavour of witch. I’m a nature-type and wear mostly green,…

I’ve decided I need to learn how to ride a horse. (Though obviously not in the big city.)

They’re all dead? All of them? I was just thinking of the people in pursuit who got crushed by the wrecking ball, and all the other people in pursuit who got killed. But all of them being dead might make sense.

How many characters died in that trailer? Why did I watch it?

My mother plays Gregorian chants when she’s doing her Christmas decorating and baking. I loved listening to them, so one year I put them on, and she complained because I chose the side (LP) for the Mass for the Dead.

Wait, you get panicky if you have to leave your new baby with someone else? I think that’s pretty close to normal. You have to anesthetize other ape mothers to get their babies away from them. That won’t help you with going back to work, though, will it?

Tax automation. Tax sending jobs offshore. Provide a Basic Income/BIG/UBI/GAI/whatever you want to call it. A BI will promote entrepreneurism and will grow the economy more than subsidizing big business ever would.

It’s possible that men are actually admired for being manly monsters. By both men and women. Certainly artistes and auteurs are. It seems to be part of the genius mystique.

It’s on IMSDb if you want to check. When does it happen in the film? Is it at the end after he stalks her and breaks into her home and before she shoots him? If so, I don’t see a rape. If not, where in the script would it be?

I didn’t see it until after I’d read that people had problems with it, so I don’t know if I would have caught everything otherwise, but it made me cringe because of how relativistic it was. Like, everyone is racist, and everyone’s racism is equally bad (even when irl some people have more power than others and…

My teeth are a mess from years of poverty and poor eating due to said poverty. I feel terrible about them, and am struggling to get used to them as they are. I think it’s a combination of assuming as a child that only kids get cavities, and the fact that they are a symbol of how powerless I’ve been to control my…

Diapers are wonderful for blood baths.

I had my trial against Evil Landlord on Monday. I had to practically beg to get a full day and we still went into overtime and had to schedule another half-day in January. It went a lot better than I expected and I really like the judge. He was fun. (And I’m so glad I don’t have to order transcripts. They can be…

I sent one out on Thursday.

Anything pickled is ghastly. They are all yours.

I saw this on YouTube Monday evening. When I googled to find out where this was, I found a few news articles. Not many, but some.

Maybe they’re more religious because they live in a more disaster-prone part of the country, and maybe they believe in divine retribution because the possibility of it being beyond anyone’s control is too scary for them. Like people who victim-blame women who are raped - it’s a way of pretending it won’t happen to…

I didn’t realize capers were a plant. They sound ghastly.
