not to be political on main but we should make the moon a national park
I think we should talk about Poor Things one more time. I've seen the takes that oh she is a female socialist pro sex work character and yeah, she is, at first. And then she becomes more and more disgusted and disenchanted with prostitution as the film goes on.
And I'm sorry but that scene when her and Max are talking about her prostitution and Max says something to the effect of "I'm not jealous that they enjoyed your body, I'm merely jealous of the time they got to spend with you." Made me fucking bawl.
Below the cut is a personal story but I feel obligated to preface it with a Trigger Warning. So TW: prostitution, sex work, drug addiction, trauma, drug use.
