I took this photo 10 days ago, as I waited for surgery after my sweet little baby lost its heartbeat. I sent it to my fiancé in the waiting room to show him that I was ok. I wasn’t. I’ve never felt more broken in my life. I debated sharing this so soon and I’m still frightened about making such a private struggle public, but I’m doing it anyway because it’s important. After my D & C, I spent hours on the internet searching for women who had been through it. I was desperate to find someone, anyone, who could relate to what I was feeling. Someone to tell me that the depression and hopelessness were normal. That it wasn’t my fault. That I wasn’t broken forever. I found a community of women who shared my exact experience. Who were open and vulnerable about miscarriage, something that isn’t often or openly discussed. It breaks my heart to think that losing a baby feels like something we have to keep to ourselves. Why is it any different than the death of a loved one? How is it any less meaningful? Here is what I have learned as I begin to crawl out of the dark hole: support is everything. I could not have survived this without the unconditional love of my partner. Despite his pain, he was my rock and my safety net. I will never know how to thank him. I also found that opening up to people is crucial. As soon as I told my story, almost everyone I spoke to told me theirs – their own, their wife’s, their sister’s. So many people go through it and understand the breadth of pain, yet so few people talk about it. Finally, I want to share a blog post that resonated with every part of me. You can find the link in my bio, @leandramcohen of @manrepeller articulates the emotional rollercoaster with an eloquence that I could never possess. To anyone out there who has been through a miscarriage, I understand you. I share every bit of your pain and you are not alone. Please be kind to yourself and I hope that you will be comfortable sharing your story too.
enigmatic, formidable and sagely brother talking his much shorter — I don’t want to say ‘cowardly’ — feeble brother, down from a ledge.
and before you all start superimposing homoerotic interpretations on to the direction of the season 5 narrative, let me ask you this:
after 10 hard centuries of living, wouldn’t it make sense that you’d at the very least explore the idea of kissing your brother?
grow up.
be honest.
leave me out of it.

Fact: Because of inflated costs, many women in prison often have to choose between buying tampons and making a call to their families.
Fact: 80% of women in jail are survivors of sexual assault, yet they are still subject to restroom supervision and strip searches by male guards.

you have to see this.
you also have to see everything lynne ramsay has ever made.
she’s one of the greatest storytellers i’ve ever seen.
she manages to accomplish such violence — with almost no violence. every portrait so intimate. you’re almost closer than you want to be with her protagonists. she manages to find such a peculiar suspense; even in the mundane. she’s always reaching for you; seducing you into her dimension. you’re both a passenger and a voyeur in her work. it’s exquisite. holy fuck.
couldn’t shake this movie off for hours.
so good.
ok… so i’m kind of late to the party on this.
but there’s an extraordinary podcast about the cult of ‘heaven’s gate’ led by marshall herf applewhite and bonnie nettles.
the guy who hosts it (glynn washington) is a little distracting at times as he vocally attempts to sell you the information, which invariably sells itself… but then you learn about glynn’s own history and why he’s a fascinating candidate to walk you through this haunting narrative.
i think what’s most disturbing, is that it isn’t too far removed from many major religious cults. it’s so easy to dismissively say that we’d never be seduced by anything so radical/strange.
truth is, there’s a hole in each of us. we try to either satiate or deny that thing. it’s a story of how vulnerable we all are; and given the correct ingredients, how none of us are impervious. to many, something like the promise this particular brand of lunacy held — was precisely the thing to fill the void.
check it out at www.heavensgate.show
fascinating.
watch this movie.
russian virtuoso andrei zvyagintsev.
he also made a beautiful film called ‘the return’ in 2003. it’s dark material, but so beautiful.

beautiful people —
