#my first watch

[itmightrain]

rewatching ep 1 of the terror and i love that thing they do a couple times on the ship where they start a scene with the camera outside of the room the characters are in, and we can hear them speaking to each other but we can't fully see them, and the camera moves as we listen to them talk, getting closer to being able to see them. and it's so unsettling for some reason, especially since you know it's a horror show, and your brain is just going "what am i going to see, what is going on over there" and almost always nothing is revealed once the camera reaches the room, it's just men having a conversation. but the fact that it's *hidden* from you creates this anticipation. idk if it's just a cool cinemographic way to create tension, or emphasize the lack of privacy in these tight quarters, or if it's like about Officers Country, and how when the regular men aren't allowed in those spaces, they're also going to be imagining the possibilities of what they aren't being allowed to see.

but anyway the fact that they introduce Francis and Jopson in that way is insane. Two men, mostly obscured behind a door, standing close and facing each other, one is doing something with his hands. They speak while the camera slowly approaches and finally reveals that Jopson's just repairing his shirt, nothing to see here. And then the "is there anything special you require, sir?" as Jopson bends down to bite the string off Francis' sleeve. insane!!!!??

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

man…seeing glimpses of everyone’s personal lives after the shift got me. abbot is an amputee…mel and her sister…whitaker’s homeless…i love that they did that. doctors aren’t gods. they can do miraculous things but at the end of the day they’re still people, and everyone’s going through something.
