It's a graphic novel prequel to the film. It goes over what happened to the original crew. There's also a sequel to the film coming out this year also in graphic novel format that I am excited for.

I am also still working through Echopraxia by Peter Watts, love it so far.

Update: got the last copy!!

Thanks so much! Always struggling with the want to be more active and lose weight while also reconciling that with internalized fatphobia and recognizing that I'm not losing weight for society, and that my health does not determine my value.

I've been going to the gym a lot lately, trying to lose weight and be more active, feel better about myself. I've lost almost 10 lbs which is huge with my binge-eating disorder, which I control by counting calories (this doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me).

That and I'm in the process of getting my professional designation, all the hard stuff is done and now it's just forms!

We don't even hate men, patriarchy isn't just men, it's fully intertwined with capitalism. We hate a system that actively devalues anything feminine, when what we really need is balance of masculine and feminine.

I know plenty of people like that, and I don't think that's wrong, that's probably how we should think about that stuff lol. It should be difficult to be or pretend to be cruel to a person.

Tbh I may be a bit fucked up, but it's in a fun way, at least, lol. Results in some wires crossed and makes me want that kind of treatment, but in a context where the type and amount of treatment I receive is in my control, as a sub.

So, the biiig reason I am capable of cruelty when in a dom position is that I understand how it feels as a sub to want to be on the receiving end of it, and how much it can actually help in a therapeutic sense when the proper before and after care is taken. So I guess what im saying is I can tell how much they want it, I can tell how much they enjoy it, and I would never dream of treating a person like that if they didn't actively want it. Like I said in another comment, I enjoy when my partner is enjoying themself.

Edit: Oh! I also wanted to add, gender power dynamics also play a huge role when dominating men, and a LOT of men like being degraded by women because it's a response to a society that constantly teaches them to treat women like objects, yknow?

That makes total sense! To be fair I'd only do degradation with the most trusted of partners because it needs to come from someone of whose opinion of me i am well aware. Most of the time I'm just a competitive brat hahaha

Really love a switchy physical power dynamic where power shifts between both partners.

The mind games and degradation are for a very specific type of itch, however (hint: it's trauma).

I like where you're going with this, I think it could be doable if there was a heavy focus on fact-checking.

I like not giving a platform for opinion on what is supposed to be a platform for news.

That being said I wouldn't mind hearing opinions from people with qualifications on dedicated platforms for it. I really like the idea of separating that stuff though.
