The first time I read it as actually by choice. I hadn’t read any Atwood yet, and it was an option for a final project of the year. It’s been quite a while since I read it, but I remember being off-put by how one-dimensional everyone but Offred what characterised. What they’ve done with Serena Joy is absolutely…

As a Canadian, I had to read that damn book in TWO different English classes and I still loathe it. The series makes the characters much more complex by giving us their backstories and the terrifying decline of normal society. I’m all about the show.

However great the actresses and roles may be, they’re not the protagonists, they’re the”wife” characters.

As the child of a single mom, tv helped raise me and it did a pretty good job. To me, the Huxtables were the ideal family, gently teaching their kids lessons and me by proxy. I’m glad it existed when I was in need of role models and world views outside my small 100% white town. That being said, I think once 60 women…

That is your characterisation, not the plaintiff’s words. She woke up with him in the bed touching her back, not “humping on her”.

Neither suits included sexual assault among the complaints. Where is your info from?

Casey Affleck was accused of sexual harassment not rape or assault.

SAME!

The animals are skinned and boiled alive. That is fact that is not under dispute.

What RhodaFayeMorgenstern said. The animals are slowly tortured, skinned/boiled alive for the grotesque misbelief that it makes for better meat. Full disclose, I do not eat any meat, and find factory farming of cows/pigs/chickens/etc almost as abhorrent. I make no distinction between cute or not cute, pet or not pet,…

The poster was also inspired by Jessica Harrison’s magnificently grisly ceramic figures. Aronofsky gave her a shout out in a different tweet/instagram.

So far, the red triptych of Helen, Katy, and Rose, plus Tracee are the only ones on theme. Rose sneaks in mostly because of the hair.

Mezzanote loooks like my Marcy May, aww. And that’s the chair she destroyed in the background.

I watch the show and I honestly didn’t even notice the fake penis. I was completely horrified by how little it takes to provoke Perry and how quickly he escalates to violence. And to be clear, the snow makes it VERY clear Perry is a violent abuser and that Celeste is often in fear of her life; it’s the media that has…

I enjoyed Taboo, but the only well-written female character was Lorna (Jessie Buckley). Oona Chaplin (the late Mrs. Robb Stark) didn’t have much to do but she was really awful at it. Franka Potente was underused and one-note. At least SPOILER ALERT

Yes, when the RoHoWa finally arrives, you’ll be glad you had a place to store your fucking Q-Tips.

I have heard of 5 acts in the small print and I am older than dirt.

What made Nancy stupid and showed she had low self-esteem? That she wanted to have sex with her boyfriend? Yeah, her boyfriend was a dick at times, but it turned out, he was a dick because he had shitty friends and he ended up being a stand-up guy in the end. Barb couldn’t even handle Nancy buying a nice bra. Barb…

Fuck Barb. All she ever did was slut-shame her friend and complain.
