or it at least feels incredibly distant from a life like mine, a service industry worker or somebody who makes less than $50k a year
you are *enough*. You don' t have to be *perfect*. The most important just two years ago we saw cynthia nixon' s rendition of' be a lady they said' which only confirms the timelessness of these lessons. They offer a comfort that helpsbe at peace with yourself, and then in turn have more love and energy to give to others.
it' s a huge shamethat the writers were blind to how universal this lesson is - the proper inclusion and representation of lgbtq+ and bipoc in satc would have made it ' even more' new york, and just so, so powerful
ill never know how my tackling of adolescence, adulthood and womanhood would have differed without satc, but im glad it was there for me, no matter how problematic and cringe it would be if i were to revisit it now. Not a chance by the way, which makes me all the more thankful for thoughtful and nuanced video essays such as these
you look good in a tutu skirt and lit up on a park bench broey! And that nomi painting is awesome
no seriously, your video essays are
anyways, would love to hear all your thoughts aboutreading and what you all think is the best practice for analyzing media these days! There' s definitely no cut and dry solution i think. Do you think reparative readings are helpful - or do they gloss over criticism?
its also why i, in a way, admired the protagonist of my year of rest and relaxation. The naive idea that you can be healed of your trauma and anxiety of the world, when really most of it stems from outside forces completely out of your control.
it says a lot that my form of coping right after 9/11 was to go to the mall
for those of us who live on twitter, it' s really easy to become increasingly irritated by the overexposure of 280 characterthat, at best, are a neutral expression of someone' s opinion that (throughlikes, etc) gets unfortunately shoved down thousands of people' s throats without their permission. That in turn makes all of us more miserable and arguing over topics in a deeply aggressive manner that we literally wouldn' t have cared about any other day, lol. So i just wanted to say that i love these 45 minute bangers that really focus on a core argument and unfold in a really cool way. It is long overdue but i' ve finally subscribed to your patreon, and i can' t wait to see what you work on next!
also, re: your pinned comment. I too have the same gut reaction to sedgwick' s term ofthe term itself gets thrown around a lot these days (sometimes too much) but i feel like i' ve rarely seen discussion about how the term itself is constructed. That being said, i' m sure you' ve read her more than me, so i can only describe how i feel with little evidence to back it up. Mostly i feel sad that the attitude is increasingly being used to shut down conversations started bypeople that are trying to think about how these shows (including succession, the white lotus, the sopranos, etc) are interesting and necessary for look into certain psyches, but simultaneously asking us to still care about (and throw the most accolades and critical acclaim toward) the psychology of angroup. Not everyone, rightly so, finds value in that kind of art being praised year after year
i always felt like we misjudged big. Yeah, he' s not perfect, he cheated on his wife, he has troubles communicating commitment issues are not a sign of moral failure. You are not a bad person if you can' t commit.
it' s like carrie wants to see big as someone he' s not, and then gets pissed when she' s met with real big who can' t return her love. It feels like big was a villain because he wasn' t able to love carrie back the way she wanted him to. And when you say it like that it becomes apparent that maybe nobody here is a villain, and carrie should have just moved on
i think nuance is very important, which is why i support reparative readings. I can' t speak for all communities, but as a queer person i find that in the queer community there are many texts and forms of media that require reparative reading in the modern age but remain major pillars of the queer community for one reason or another. Likewise, there are pieces of media that matter in my defining femininity and womanhood for myself that also require a nuanced reading because it' s important to recognize certain degrees of privilege in those definitions.
this was a fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing these thoughts and creating such an interesting discussion!
ughh
so, althought not a perfecti would not say is anti-feminist whatsoever, it is just aof feminismt. But again, there is still not a unified definition so it highly depends on how you want to understnad postfeminism. I just wanted to let you know that there is more to it, and it' s worth researching! I recommend stephanie gerz and stephaniewritings
