#Iwatched #Bottoms (2023) about two lesbian virgins at the bottom of the highschool popularity scale who start a girls fight club, ostensibly to empower women, but really to finally get laid. From there the stakes just keep escalating. The film doesn't try to be realistic or take itself too seriously but pointedly satirizes highschool loser life and as such should speak to any human lifeform with a fondness for crass humour, romance and a sympathy for the underdogs in life.

Continued thread

who are cis people? What is a cis man? What makes a man cis? What makes a man trans?

(in case anyone wants to misrepresent any of this video or my posting of it -- no one is or should be disposable. Even if you don't like them.
I might say otherwise in my own personal experiences with a handful of people who have behaved unconscionably towrd me, but that's neither my ideal nor what I think would bring a better world.
Even less so on demographic grounds. Like, I understand if Person A abuses you, yeah you will be experiencing a range of emotions -- or shutdown, or cycle through them. But that's individual, not systemic. anyway.)

Obvious one we should all be able to agree on tho: posturing based on attacking others is not "real" gender. It's just insecurity getting defensive at other people.

Per capita spend on #sewerage systems by 1874. Eton out on its own on its spend. Well-to-do #bottoms need looking after. Reflected also in the fact that the two places with highest ratio of #WCs to bottoms were Royal Tunbridge Wells (1:2.8 bottoms) and Richmond, Surrey (1:3.8 bottoms). Whereas in Dudley in the Black Country the stats were 1 WC to 437.8 bottoms! 😱 Big spenders spending their pennies. #Sewage #EnvHist #Maps #Victorian #Town #Sanitation #Class #Divide

Bottoms film is bizarre. In a good way. Almost like a live action cartoon. At its core it’s a film about two queer teens trying to get it on with two cheerleaders they are infatuated with. Football jocks attend class in their kit! The plot is out there and includes the leads accidentally starting a girls self defence and empowerment club in the school in the hope of attracting the cheerleaders to join. It has cartoon violence. Much pathos. It’s very funny. I liked it 😊 7/10.
