Cinematic Distractions
My holidays would have been incomplete without the now annual viewing of Akira Kurosawa’s festive and oddly cathartic for me personally…
medium.com
Jealousy mars a painting, tuneful miners get lost, a smuggler carries trouble to NYC, a pair of siblings find their accommodations lacking, the telephone is ringing, and the train has left the station headed for another movie list 📽️

I wouldn't necessarily have predicted that this one story would get to me more than many others, but I feel heartsick.
Every married woman who takes her husband's last name has changed their legal name. Legal name changes aren't a matter of opinion - Rachel is her name.

They went in and replaced Rachel Levine's name with her deadname in her official portrait- during the shutdown- because they are cowards and the cruelty is the point www.npr.org/sections/sho...
HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered.

They like that Trump and his White House empower that abuse and offer tools and legitimacy to do it. Fortunately, they do it so blatantly and creepily that it really bothers anyone who is still even slightly normal, let alone feminist

All of this to say, the sexual humiliation, rejection of women’s autonomy over their own politics, application of technology/virality, and obsession with controlling celebrity women to make an example out of them are all connected and feed a specific desire to abuse power within the base

The sexual objectification/humiliation and the attempt to co-opt and reverse their political/ideological leanings come from the same desire to abuse power over women, control women, and ultimately force women to perform for you and your interests in rejection of their autonomy

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

The year is 2027. All TV and movies are made by one company.
It makes exactly one movie or series a year and then immediately deletes it as a tax write-off before releasing it.
Somehow it employs only one person, who makes minimum wage, and still lays off half its employees each month.

My ten cents is that newspapers should stop calling it a drug boat if there was never any evidence presented of it being a drug boat.

It took me until tonight to decide what to do with eight ounces of Prosecco leftover from Thanksgiving. It's now in the freezer in a large bowl with sixteen ounces of orange juice and four ounces of simple syrup. 🍾

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.
