I'm on episode 9 of Jessica Jones, and I'm addicted. Krysten Ritter is the bomb in this role, and Trish... I have SO MANY FEELINGS about the Jessica & Trish friendship. Don't tell me how it ends, I don't want to be spoiled. But once I'm done, I need to write meta.

With the recent attack on Planned Parenthood in Colorado, global religious fundamentalists who control everything about women from the way they dress to who they marry, and general everyday ugliness on the internet, this essay sums up my feelings perfectly: "If you think women every day don't experience a constant battle for power over their own lives, you're not paying attention."

I'm so on the fence about whether to watch this. I know it is excellent but I also know it is triggery for a lot of folks and I'm not really looking for that in my entertainment yanno? I really want to watch it, but I don't want to become a mess because of it. I'm withholding all decisions until after the 16th (when my finals are over) because I am DEFINITELY not taking that kind of risk when I have to be producing quality papers.

I don't know. I hate my brain.

No, I'm with you. I wish I could watch it bc it sounds so so good, but it's way rapey and nope nope nope.

I don't want to say too much until you've seen it all, but IA, the Jessica and Trish dynamic is great.

It's a great show, I can't wait for you to finish it! The Jessica/Trish friendship is definitely important, I think you'll be pleased with how it develops.

It's really that god, isn't it? Looking forward to your meta!

Here's two (spoilerish) articles I liked: one (http://feministing.com/2015/11/24/jessica-jones-or-how-to-make-a-tv-show-about-trauma/), two (http://www.tor.com/2015/11/25/jessica-jones-gaslighting/)

Jessica Jones is so good and I especially love Trish, too!
