basically every way in which patriarchy “harms men” they still actively and enthusiastically submit to because ultimately the material benefits they get from patriarchy and from conforming to expectations placed on men are far far greater than the handful of small drawbacks

Her being terrified and thinking she'll become a demon and him rushing to hold her close to him and telling her he loves her again and again, right after seeing her at her most vulnerable and knowing her “shame” has to be one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking moments in the movie. I like how Orlok's violence is juxtaposed with Thomas's gentle and comforting love for her. Also, love that prior to this moment it is Ellen who holds onto Thomas to stop him from leaving the house, riles him up to get a reaction out of him ending up in them having rougher, more passionate sex which she wants Orlok to see because she is actively trying to fight off his hold on her. Basically just giving him a middle finger lmao. And the fact that this time, she actually succeeds, once again showing how Orlok uses her desire to exercise control over her and how Thomas not only satisfies that desire but also liberates her from the terrible psychosexual connection/subjugation, rendering Orlok's control ineffective. Thomas's love empowers her. God I'm never ever getting over this scene. Like never. Everything about it is so beautiful and heartbreaking and haunting to me.

So to catch you up to speed
Luigi Mangione is an innocent man who has not been confirmed to have been involved in any crime.
We have police documents confirming he was not DNA tested or fingerprinted, and confirmation no usable DNA or fingerprints were recovered at the crime scene due to incomplete prints and immense DNA contamination of New Yorks streets.
No evidence has linked him to the crime.
No facial recognition has even remotely come close to identifying the cctv suspects face as that of Luigi. His own family and friends do not see a resemblance. Most people agree the features in the cctv do not match the very well documented features of Luigi Mangione.
Luigi Mangione has no history of violence nor with firearms. He is a vegan pacifist with no history of mental illness and an aversion to killing even bugs.
He is still only a SUSPECT and all involvement in any crimes are merely ALLEGED at this time. Alleged by the most corrupt police force in the entire nation; the NYPD who do more organized crime than they've ever stopped.
Luigi Mangione's attorneys confirmed they have been shown absolutely nothing that even places Luigi at the scene of the crime.
People have repeatedly tried to recreate the entire timeline of events and found it is not physically possible to do what was alleged in the time frame police gave. Especially dubious for Luigi Mangione to have done given his recent, crippling back injury.
Luigi Mangione in his own words has said police planted evidence on him and are not being honest about his arrest or what he had on him at the time.
There is no body cam footage of Luigi's arrest.
There is no autopsy report for Brian Thompson.
Luigi has so far been:
Stripped of his hat, jacket and shoes and forced to walk in the cold in December wearing wet socks.
Forced to urinate on himself where police then took and published humiliation photos of him.
He was then stripped of his shirt pants and socks and put in a blue psychiatric gown and strapped to a chair inmates called "the torture chair" and left for prolonged periods of time. To the point the entire inmate population at the prison protested in anger.
He was slammed unto a brick wall, choked, and shoved by various police officers for no reason.
Was marched through nyc at gunpoint by officers with military firearms, forced to wear chains
Was called a murderer by the mayor of NYC on national television.
Was then placed in solitary confinement for weeks. Something extremely damaging psychologically to be exposed to for even just a few days. Something usually reserved for cannibals.
He is now being forced to sleep on the floor despite again, a crippling back injury.
Again, he has not even had trial yet. He is an innocent man by the very definition of the law. He has nothing tying him to any crime. And even the crime itself was a nobody being shot in a city where nobodies are shot everyday, seven days a week. And those shooters don't get this treatment. Cannibals don't get this treatment. Serial killers don't get this treatment. Why are they doing this? Because we entered an oligarchy and they want people who are rich to matter more than people who are not. The NO ONE, no name, insignificant person that Brian THOMPSON always was and WILL ALWAYS BE is more important because of his net worth, to the fascist oligarchy we've entered into, than the innocent man, data scientist and robotics engineer with a promising future that is Luigi Mangione.
The NYPD doesn't want him to be innocent. They are torturing him gleefully and postponing his trial because they know he's innocent. They just want to scare the public into understanding that the ultra rich, even those who's names will never be remembered as anything other than markings on a never visited tombstone, are the only persons who matter now. Not yours. Never yours. You're poor. They'll torture you without a trial too. Your life means nothing to them. Your children dying in school shootings means nothing to them. Pinning a crime on an innocent man they can beat to scare the public out of class consciousness is the only thing that matters to them now. Depose them.

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

Pro tip! If someone ever says they would fuck their own clone, you can make the conversation different by saying you'd also fuck their clone.

i think we should be meaner about people who are super reliant on chatgpt or whatever other AI. i think we should call them intellectually weak and emotionally stunted and mindless corporate shills who have no personalities and who are actively diminishing their capacity for human empathy and creative thought. and i think we should point and laugh at them and call them dweebs

learning about breasts as baby feeders and male attractors made them appear to be my enemies. learning about my uterus as an organ dedicated to creating and growing a fetus made it appear to be my enemy. i had parts of my body that opposed my own will–where i didn’t want children, my breasts and uterus did. where i was a lesbian, my breasts grew against my will to attract men, and my uterus wanted fertilization. of course i hated them! of course i wanted to cut off and destroy the parts of my body that opposed the innate nature of my brain!
how evil, that little girls are taught that their bodies “want” anything but their own survival and happiness. my breasts store fat that will help me survive disease and famine. my uterus regulates my hormones, keeping me healthy. i could use them to grow and nurture a child if i wanted to do so–but they aren’t trying to push me to do anything. they’re just helping me stay alive! my brain, my uterus, my breasts, and every other part of my body are a team, all working for me, according to my wishes and goals. no part of myself is my enemy.
