HIYA.

So a lot has gone on in the last little bit. NASA recently was ordered to scrub their site of women's contributions to astronomy and astrophysics, even took down their page celebrating women's history month and all the contributions they've made to NASA. So I did a thing and crawled through the wayback machine to find some articles, and decided to put this right here because fuck the government, fuck the orange in charge who told them to scrub their site, and fuck NASA for throwing their people under the bus and bowing to this authoritarian nonsense. This version of the site still has articles on some important figures like Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space shuttle, and ISS chief scientist Jennifer Buchli and chief deputy scientist Meghan Everett, who, in their words, "-provide the science strategy and make science recommendations for the International Space Station program, and help make sure all of the science on the International Space Station goes smoothly, from preparing for launch to conducting research on the space station with the scientists and astronauts and returning the science to Earth."

actually the reveal that there was no timeskip at all is hysterical. milchick really spent that whole weekend going all over town firing people, hiring people, putting together insane fruit baskets, and serving cunt in his motorcycle helmet. then at the orders of the board he had to very quickly fire the people he hired, rehire the people he fired, commission an oil painting for the severed floor lobby, redecorate the break room, and put together an award-winning claymation corporate apology video designed to showcase the new innie perks and reforms that don't exist as well as that one time helena eagan's innie sucked face with the innie whose outie his ex-boss is obsessed with. where is HIS waffle party

I think part of the inherent comedy of AFFC is Jaime starting to see Cersei as his sibling again…. like not his sister-lover but his sibling who says and does things that annoy him and keeps trying to boss him around and who he’s bickering with in front of their uncle…. he’s been thinking of her as first and foremost a lover for years, and ‘sister’ as synonymous w that, but now he’s back and the romance is falling apart and he realises oh shit yeah siblings are fucking annoying

the people hating on the Cobel solo ep r crazy bc for me one of the biggest mysteries of the show has ALWAYS been "wtf is up with that absolute freak?" She is so deeply strange and captivating. Finding out the specific kind of madness that has been motivating her methods has haunted me since she was talking about de-icing her stoop, and now we know! child soldier PhD student mourning both her mother and her stolen IP!!! THATS why she's crazy THATS why she is so incomprehensible and strange. obsessed obsessed obsessed.

I feel like typically the "dead wife" montage does nothing for me, even when executed very well, because it's often just like "here's this woman you'll never get to meet, she only matters because a man loves her so much and now he's sad."

But the montage wasn't just Mark's recollections. It was her perspective too. He's her dead husband. He's her Eurydice as much as he's his own Orpheus.

This isn't humanizing Gemma for Mark's sake. This is humanizing Gemma for Gemma's sake and it's there not for us to root for Mark, it's there for us to realize we're rooting for Gemma. Every moment Mark reaches out for her, she's reaching back.

The dead wife montage normally deprives a woman her agency, making her a tool for a man's arc, but this episode fully restored Gemma's agency. She's fighting back, she's yearning too. She hurts, she aches, she angers. She fights, she bleeds, she gets frustrated too. And has been before she was ever Ms Casey,

I've never seen a show restore a character's humanity as fully as this single episode did for Gemma. She went from an abstract concept--a wife, a severed employee, a ghost--to a tangible person.

And this was realized so literally as well. We literally see her bleed, we literally watch her eat, her hands cramp up, her teeth ache. It's like watching a hologram become flesh muscle by muscle, bone by bone.

I'm in awe of what they were able to do for her in just 50 minutes. In many ways, I feel I know Gemma better than I know half the cast.

"television" "fans" be like ugh I can't believe this episode was a chilling look at small town America's dependence on major corporations for employment, substance abuse, childhood trauma and intellectual property theft 🙄🙄 BORING!! it only furthered the storyline of a woman who has been a mystery since the first episode and revealed more abuse by the company who's abuses are central to the plot 😒

ether as severance + “the courtship of kier and imogene” (relationship parallels)

An ether factory does not produce ether

The ether factory in Salt's Neck and the ether mills mentioned as part of Kier Eagan's history were not places where diethyl ether was manufactured. They were regular factories or mills with strategically placed vats of boiling diethyl ether to intoxicate the workers when at work, effectively functioning as a primitive form of severance.

(1) Diethyl ether was historically used as an anesthetic because it causes short term memory loss. Kier served as a military doctor in his early 20s, presumably during the American Civil War (1861-1865), so would have been exposed to the anesthetic properties of ether. He founded Lumon Industries in 1865.

(2) Diethyl ether is not something would be synthesized in a vat (it is extremely volatile and flammable), especially not in the way pictured in The Courtship of Kier and Imogene.
(3) If you had vats of boiling diethyl ether around your regular mill or factory, your workers could still perform the basic functions of their jobs, but would not remember most of it. Lumon created severed work places in 1865!

(4) Harmony says she hadn't consumed ether since she was eight, so this is probably when she stopped working at the factory. She also refers to Hampton selling ether as "shameful", because to a Kier cultist, ether intoxication is a quasi-religious alienation of one from their work.

(5) The effect of having a town where the ether factory shuts down would result in an entire town of ether addicts who are no longer getting high at work which is what we saw in Salt's Neck.

(6) I think it is pretty clear by now that Dieter (Diethyl ether) was what Kier Eagan referred to as his persona while in a state of ether intoxication.
Imogen was a child bride.

I've been thinking this ever since Woe was described as half the height of a normal woman. That felt child bride coded, but here is the rest:

Kier didn't have his first child until he was 44. If Kier met his wife in his youth, as Lumon would have you believe, she wouldn't be in good shape to have two children one year apart from each other in her 40s in 1885 and 1886 respectively.

All the evidence provided in attached pictures supports the idea that he found himself a child bride at the ether factory, while undercover as a swabman.

I included some more fantastical pulls about Woe because I believe Imogen is represented as the woeful bride. Kier seems to have felt some kind of way about the sins of his past on his deathbed, so he made up the fourth appendix and Dieter to sever himself from the sin. He made up Dieter to be his scapegoat. (If you grew up not religious, like I did, google scapegoat+religious) Part of his guilt (?) might revolve around his child bride, given she may have been sick from the factory and she was definitely woeful.

The fact we only know two things about Imogen, she was a swab girl and married Kier, leaves a lot of question marks about her ultimate fate. Poor girl.

If Kier & Imogene knew each other at work, and Imogene was effectively severed due to the ether high, it makes sense that he would find Imogene outside of work and tell her that their innies fell in love at work, whether it was the truth or not, just to get her to be the child bride.

Fits with a lot of religious/cult behavior where a man will corner a woman (sometimes younger) and say something like "God meant for us to be together," or "God came to me in a dream and revealed that you are my soulmate," to manipulate the woman into being with him.

The mysticism around Kier being a religious figure due to "mastering the tempers" and severance just makes it more believable.

It's what Kier did to Imogene, it's what Burt is doing to Irving, and I wouldn't doubt it's what Helena's about to do to Mark – or perhaps already subtly did at the Chinese restaurant? Or meant to but failed/chickened out because she's so awkward.
I want to add, I do think this unethical practice of yielding the next generation of Eagans by coercing (assaulting) people under their employ is probably normal within the family tradition.

Inside Lumon it's romanticized so they can justify this abuse of employees, which is in line with the rest of the show. History is written by the victors, so many probably don't live long or are stored away, Shelly Miscavige style, the second they show signs of objection towards Lumon.

(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)

tearing up thinking about the fact that Mark was only able to save Gemma because of innie solidarity. Because Helly stole Milchick's walkie talkie and trapped him, giving Mark the opportunity to escape. Because Dylan got back to the severed floor and saw some shit going down and without question threw his body on the line too. Because Lorne was exhausted watching her beloved goats sacrificed to the corporate machine and wasn't willing to stand by and watch Drummond kill one of their own. Because the entire Choreography and Merriment department responded to Helly pleading for help in a scene straight out of Norma Rae

Not a single one of them had ever met Gemma Scout, but they knew Ms. Casey was one of them. An injury to one is an injury to all

Note: I am not asking necessarily which of these songs you like the best, just which one puts you in an emotional state that you can't quite express. Because I am of A Certain Age, my answer would probably be either "Clocks" or "Viva La Vida". Personally, "Adventure of a Lifetime" reminds me of dissociating while mopping a convenience store floor, but maybe it speaks to you.

The third Jon Snow chapter in A Game of Thrones is so funny when you consider the perspective of the other members of the Night’s Watch.

Since Jon arrived at Castle Black, he’s been withdrawn, sullen, and barely interacted with the others. He was a bastard, but he was also the son of one of the most important men in the entire kingdom, the warden of the north, and hand of the king, and the nephew of Benjen Stark, one of the most highly regarded men at the wall. He grew up alongside his true born halfsiblings at Winterfell and enjoyed an education very similar to theirs. He is one of the youngest people at the wall, yet easily beats the other new recruits in training, barely speaks a word to them afterwards, and instead spends most of his time with his creepy, silent dire wolf. In the words of Donal Noye, he was seen as an arrogant, sullen, reclusive bully, who thought he was better than anyone else.

Then, on some completely random day, he suddenly runs through castle black, the biggest grin ever on his face, which was probably the first time anyone there has seen him smile, whoops the whole time excitedly, that his brother is going to live, and joyfully spins Tyrion Lannister around in a cycle in front of everyone. Afterwards, he smiles at Grenn, who tried to beat him up not even an hour prior to that moment, offers to help him with his sword training and then quips back at Ser Alliser of all people, making the entire common hall laugh in the process.

Like, the switch-up was actually crazy as hell.
