Thrive to spite them
Lucifer is on Netflix. It's 10 episodes. I watched some tonight. I'll be honest I fast forward through most of the case of one because I didn't care and only wanted to find out what was going on with the characters.
Maze continues to be awesome.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We're a season behind on Handmaid's Tale, having just wrapped up season 1.
The show is smart enough that I think it's intentional that they have a lot of details that show the whole system was clearly designed by The Menfolk, with no regard for efficiency or knowledge of how things work. Like, you only do the thing once per month? Did none of you retain any of the information from the books your wives read when they were trying to get pregnant? And you have her shave her legs specifically for the ceremony? @@ forever.
It does make me wonder about how fucked up things are in Mexico that this stupid-assed system is orders of magnitude more effective at producing children.
This led me to begin pondering what a humane, rational system for dealing with the fertility problem would look like. Like, in South Korea, do they have voluntary maternity communes? You get paid to follow your bliss while you gestate (to the extent that that's possible while dealing with gestational side-effects), and they have donor sperm that they've screened the shit out of, for maximum odds, if you want to go that direction.

I am getting lots of adds for Fleabag on FB. I've never watched it, never heard of it - any of you?

Catching up on some stuff (how was I not subscribed to this thread?):
Cindy, reading the comics wouldn't make a difference to your mild squick with a relationship in Umbrella Academy; it's not there at all.
I am shaking my head at the slash fans in Stranger Things fandom. There's been a lot of meta on Tumblr about how Billy is queer, as signified through wardrobe coding. And I am all, my dudes, I dated many versions of the asshole rocker boy that Billy's character is, and there is no queer coding in his look. That is peak heterosexual rocker boy who idolizes David Lee Roth wardrobe. But I don't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so I keep my fingers off my keyboard when I see the posts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just heard an interview with the person behind Fleabag (who also wrote the first season of Killing Eve) in the last week. Sounded interesting, and I like Killing Eve and awful lot, so I will probably give it a try. Is that an Amazon Prime show?
Et remove an extra comma, I don't know how that snuck in there...

I've been getting lots of ads for it, too, and it looks interesting. I was going to add Amazon Prime for Good Omens anyway, since that drops May 31.

I love it! It's by the woman who also wrote Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It was originally her stage play and she starred in it.
It's very snarky and plays well on that level as fucked-up-person trying to negotiate their fucked up life. But it has a sadness and a depth to it as well.
You have to be willing to ride along with a very flawed character. Personally I liked her a lot even though she does some very dubious things.
