Review: Surviving 'Men'

Men (2022) is a film about victimhood, trauma, and guilt—the ways in which we survivors can sometimes fail to move on, projecting our worst, embodied memories onto strange men around us, but also the strange men around us who truly do have the potential to be dangerous because they are men and they sniff out and exploit our vulnerability.

November 1? You mean, Christmas the First?

I’ll be listening to Christmas carols, slowly unpacking our decorations, making gingerbread houses, and snuggling in with blankets and tea for those nights that start at 5:45 these days to watch some old classics for the next 8 weeks, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

The Library on the Edge of the Night | Part 1

People had pretty soon decided that there wasn’t much else worth exploring in the vast empty stretch of space beyond, which people called the Night, and attention had moved elsewhere.

This posting was just something they were going to have to endure for a while.
