it can be hard to leave a toxic environment, but you deserve to be safe.

Dear aspiring housewives & SAHMs, don't let fear mongering keep you from your desired lifestyle!

Housewife/SAHM does NOT automatically mean abused and broke!

TW: mentions of DV, mental health

Hello my friends,

Not my usual content but just wanted to have a quick chat.

I work in an industry that is really heavily intertwined with Australian healthcare. Today, I had one of the most heartbreaking interactions of my 3 years in this role.

A young woman presented with nothing but a suitcase and a dead phone. She was pretty much covered in bruises, lacerations and the fear was absolutely oozing off of her. Earlier today, she had decided to leave her DV situation. Knowing she was going to be homeless. Her situation is unfortunately the reality for a lot of Australians.

For those of you who are not Aussie readers, please know this - Australia is currently an incredibly scary climate for women. In 2023-2024, it was reported that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 8 men have experienced partner abuse since the age of 15. I am part of this statistic.

So far this year, 23 women have been k!led by an intimate partner. The federal election campaigns haven’t addressed these issues at all.

In case you need a reminder or are after some support, here are some resources you can access at home:

You deserve to take up space.

You deserve to feel safe.

You are not alone.

Life is worth feeling hopeful about.

Nine Inch Nails' And All That Could Have Been DVD, released on this day in 2002. I found a folder of raw screengrabs from 2001, during the editing process, where some of the footage was still interlaced from the consumer DV cameras I filmed on in 2000. Here are some enlarged details, which have a phenomenal early-digital texture to them now, and it’s remarkable to see the resolution we were working with to put that film together (these were direct TIFF frame outputs from FCP - all the compression you see in here is from the camera!)

I always loved the way interlaced frames digitally ripped an image apart, and it inspired me in the creation of the “With Teeth” visual aesthetic a couple years later. In 2004, as the prosumer digital video world was continuing the clunky transition away from interlacing, I discovered the first version of Apple’s Motion software did not know what to do with interlaced footage, and would in fact render the interlacing as part of the video when you zoomed into it. That happy glitch accident formed the aesthetic foundation of the video for “The Hand That Feeds.”
