#BSUENG490 Mentally fortify yourself for this class. This class is not afraid to get into the nitty-gritty. There are subjects that can be triggering, but there is also plenty of care taken with them. Don't be afraid to care for yourself!

#BSUENG490 I don't know much about horses, but I didn't think that they are "evil" creatures filled with rage. When she realized that her rage was human, it was a very touching moment. She let go of being human fully

#BSUENG490 Adrien's mom was an interesting addition to the story. She immediately knew something was up, and didn't want him. Maybe it was mother's intuition. I think she handled it okay, albeit very weird.

#BSUENG490 I thought it was interesting how when Alexia (Adrien) went out with Vincent and Rayane, she ended up saving a life instead of taking one, which the first half was full of

#BSUENG490 This movie is wild. I am 100% traumatized by bathrooms now

#BSUENG490 The upbeat music during the killing spree really adds to the fact that she's kinda going insane/manic

#BSUENG490 A few things that were said in the podcast stuck out to me: "Inadequacy is a huge part of shame," "The shame of being female," "Zero productive value in shame." Why is shame such a feminine issue? I feel like not a lot of men experience shame, at least for long periods of time

#BSUENG490 Going through all of that suffering, all the permanent damage to your body and mind, only to lose the thing making it all worth it (a baby) must be the worst feeling anyone could ever experience

#BSUENG490 Doing extra research for "Precious" added so much more context into the story. I had never heard of the folktale referenced. I also just love to see a story where a woman finally stands up for herself.

#BSUENG490 The principle "I am willing to cause unhappiness" jumped out at me. I have been such a people pleaser my entire life that I have been consistently unhappy to make others happy.

#BSUENG490 The connection of snakes and birds between the two stories is probably one of the least traumatic comparisons I can draw. It's interesting how the "snake" is killed by the birds in the first story, but the bird's eggs are eaten by the snake in the second story.

#BSUENG490 Binti's physical transformation was definitely not what I expected. I did not think she was going to become part Meduse.

#BSUENG490 "Traditionally, in american society, it is the members of the oppressed, objectified groups who are expected to stretch out and bridge the gap between the actualities of our lives and the consciousness of our oppressor" (289).

#BSUENG490 Sci-fi has never really been one of my chosen genres in media. However, I don't think I have a strong opinion on this book yet. Also, it moves so fast. I'm still trying to absorb the worldbuilding and make inferences, what do you mean everyone is dead!?

#BSUENG490 I really thought that Daniel was going to turn the gun on himself. I also actually cheered at the reveal that Rafe was the dad. My roommate definitely thinks I'm insane.

#BSUENG490 I do wish that trans men were also discussed in this work, but I have also never heard the discussion on sexual disability rights, so that was interesting to learn about.

#BSUENG490 Daniel is such an interesting, observant character. We already knew that, but like, it's been CONFIRMED now. I just wanna read to the end now 😭

#BSUENG490 I'm glad we are getting more cultural history now. The hate for the British runs DEEP in those Irish veins. Also, Daniel almost shooting himself during the fight!? There were two live rounds and he got lucky.

#BSUENG490 The realization that the diary entries were one-way flight locations and prices was wild. I'm on the same page as Cassie rn, Lexie had a great life (from an outside perspective), so why would she plan on leaving? Also, this is Daniel when anyone tries to talk about the past:

#BSUENG490 Where is all of this tension going? Lexie has such strong tension with every man in the house. If one of them is the baby daddy, it could literally be any of them.

#BSUENG490 "There is a rise in the 'de-crime-ing' of rape and sexual violence; there are new permutations of domestic violence... there are attempts to undo the terms and conditions of women’s reproductive freedoms" (626). This relates to Cassie working in DV and the public decline in empathy for it

#BSUENG490 I really like the idea of body doubles and a fictional person coming to life
