The Handmaid’s Cringe

I’ve watched THT countless times 😅 and some scenes always make me feel quite uncomfortable, because of how cringey they are to me.

Angela’s birth: Naomi ‘having’ labour pains. Her fellow Wives trying to ‘comfort’ her. The harp. The Handmaids’ breathe breathe breathe chant. I just can’t 😆

Serena trying to breastfeed Nichole: seriously? What did she think was going to happen?

Everything featuring Alanis Wheeler: I could tell she was going to be evil AF from the beginning. Her forced smile. Her condescending tone. The actress did a fantastic job.

Edit
Fred masturbating after his failed ‘copulation’ attempt and Serena trying to turn him on: Ceremonies are extremely disturbing by themselves, but his pathetic attempt made that one even worse.

What scenes/stories would you add?

Lord Aysgarth’s outfit

I never saw an outfit like his, not even in 1912. Was it considered very outdated for 1923? We all know he’s ‘poor’, so he probably didn’t have access to the latest fashion, however, his daughter, Madeleine, is wearing a proper 1920s dress. For how long wasn’t Lord Aysgarth able to afford new clothes? Since 1895? How outdated is his outfit?

Radio and television

I’m rereading The Handmaid’s Tale book. That has me wondering why the series’ producers chose to not include television. In the book and the film, the regime uses television to broadcast their propaganda and keep the citizens’ spirits ‘up’.

They could even have included radio, but the only station in the series is Free America, an illegal one.

Sister Maltby

She’s absolutely despicable and deserves more hate! PrOnTo!!!!

And Avril Fox deserves more love. She ended up being one of the kindest souls in Call the Midwife!

When your tummy hurts, but you have hEDS!

I was diagnosed with hEDS almost 4 years ago.

6 days ago I paid a lovely visit to the ER due to… tummy pain. It started suddenly and it woke me up. A very minor ailment, unless your collagen is shitty. The family physician was worried about an aneurysm, because he was able to feel my tummy aorta beating (and my blood pressure was bonkers, thank you dysautonomia for giving me wonky BP that can’t decide between being high or low! And I had tachycardia and fever), so he sent me to the ER to get an angiogram.

My veins weren’t very eager to be pricked. The lovely nurse had to insert the IV twice. She was very kind, but my veins weren’t. Thank goodness I’m a very good soldier, used to needles.

Shitty collagen. Shitty veins. Here’s the result, 6 days later. I’m not complaining, tho. I turned out to be just gastroenteritis 😀

I’m fully recovered and eating everything I love again! Yay spicy food! Yay salt! (My sodium is low-ish, so I need to eat salty stuff. That makes me very happy!)

This is my biggest haematoma so far, and I’ve been here for almost 36 years. Let’s see how it goes.

Do you have similar stories?

Edit: yeah, my watch band leaves a mark. Thank you doctor Ehlers and doctor Danlos! 🥰

My babiest babies

My Biological Daughters, Selise Geneva (torbie, 1, adopted after I lost my adored first kitty, Eva) and Iris Paula (black, 9). They used to hate each other, but here we are 😀

They aren’t just cats. They’re family.
