Redemption story, more about character development than monsters. Brought me to tears at times.
Have y'all seen it? What'd you think?
The Diplomat is amazing. The Netflix show, The Diplomat
is amazing. I love it – it ticks all of my boxes for suspense, romance, intrigue, and things I can’t name.
Did you see it, did you like it?
I’m watching A Discovery of Witches
and also enjoying that, but both Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches
and Interview with a Vampire
are sadly proving unwatchable.
Love to hear what you’re watching and loving
She laid down to JUST REST HER EYES but woke to discover that she Napped Way Too Long Again.
In this thread, I will be serializing Claude writing this book.
What are your sci-fi TV show recommendations? Some i loved that jump to mind:
It's too intimidating for men to be men. Alright, here’s one of my most controversial opinions, and I’m gonna try to take the filter off as much as possible:
Feminism has played out as retribution instead of solution. The Barbie movie is an entirely thorough example of what I’m talking about. You suppressed us, so we’re gonna use any means necessary to take over.
And then they recreated the same imbalance in its opposite.
I see most social movements do this too. True solutions to imbalances aren’t fair because they don’t have human-enacted payback. You suppressed us, so we’re going to move toward balance.
I’ve been spending about 2 years trying to set aside my learned default into my masculine energy (having grown up in highly feminist orange/green) and learn how to root in my feminine. But my feminine longs for a tether to something rooted. Masculine energy feels rooted, solid, grounded, and my feminine very much doesn’t (though it is held by a spacious ok-ness, but it’s so airy it easily gets chaotic when not balanced in connection with a grounded masculine.)
But I’ve had a hell of a time finding grounded healthy masculine men. Many of them can do it for a time, but then flee to an extreme, like angry resentment at one end and non-binary softness at the other end. And I think it’s because the culture has become super aggressive to men who are solidly men.
