my first guess is that all the men in this film are meant to be understood as different aspects of the way her guilt* over her husband’s suicide is haunting her; at the end they are gradually morphed together into one, and then take the shape of her husband as he looked when he looked himself. so i mean.

* undeserved, but it is not exactly the case that trauma is rational

anyway i’m rewatching the folding ideas video on annihilation again because i learned, after watching men, that it has the same writer-director

btw i should probably watch annihilation sometime

anyway by serious content warnings i mean it’s doing a lot with suicide, depicted quite explicitly, and a very blatant sexual assault, just right there, on screen

so like
yeah

also there is a very self-indulgent pun on wasps that i have no idea why it was there but i appreciated

there’s some fucking excellent body horror in this one

it’s probably good i just wish i’d understood what it’s doing

i did not understand Men (2022)

also btw for those curious about it, serious content warnings on that one, ny’all

maybe if i’m gonna be resting my forepaws and thus avoiding video’d game and typing and such i should just, read through all those socialist magazines i haven’t gotten to yet or something lol

the funny period of time when i was a cat on fedi but pretty much entirely unaware of normal cat behaviors

people would post (sometimes in my mentions) about various things and i’d just be like “wut. what is ‘kneading’. what does that mean”

prrbt

part time remote worker unions are real

Claire opened a PR that would merge this change into glitch-soc so assuming that it makes, be aware of that when the next mastodon release rolls out or whatever makes you decide to update glitch!

i’m curious if people have any opinions about mastodon’s adjustments to its branding

oh, the misery
every MR wants to be my enemy~

ah, the memories lol
