The Official Story (1985). During the final months of Argentinian Military Dictatorship in 1983, a high school teacher sets out to find out who the mother of her adopted daughter is.
Just utterly haunting. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time. 9/10.

The situation now is worse than before. To avoid triggering my sister, for whom, it seems, my mere existence is a reason to fly into a violent rage, I have been reduced to hiding in the apartment - hiding in the back if she's in the front, hiding in the front if she's in the back, eating meals separate from the family and at odd hours to not encroach on her space, speaking only minimally and when it's certain I'm out of earshot. Now and then, when I pass her in the hall by some force of necessity, I try to act like we are still friends. I say hi, give an open bob of my head, and keep walking so I don't overdo it. She barely, if ever, acknowledges me. Turns her head constantly in the other direction, even if she's walking the other way. My mother has also gotten worse. She explodes when she's frustrated or overwhelmed, but because she can't explode with my sister without triggering a meltdown, she explodes with me. She hits herself, goes red, and screams - today because I misunderstood something she said about the puddle by shower, whether the toilet had leaked or the shower door had been open, a small thing. I find an even smaller corner to hide in. After, she comes to my corner with food. I don't know how to receive it because, yes, I'm grateful, but I'm still crying, and I don't know what to say because anything I say gets turned into my mother being hard-done-by after she's made such an effort, which she has, but... but it's still not ok. And I didn't ask for the food. But I'm grateful. But that doesn't change that it wasn't ok. Does it?
I should go somewhere else... but where?

Summary:  Bo-Katan feels lonely, forgotten, worthless. However, there is still someone in the galaxy worth fighting for, living for, staying for...
I hope someone missed little Atin 🧡 I definitely did...

I identify as Daughter; Cannibal
I identify as daughter; cannibal
Interchanging the terms whenever the mood is present 
My mother
She uses these in the terms in conjunction 
Says them as though they are synonymous 
I pity my mother 
Or yet I feel as close to empathy as I can for her
I am a cannibal 
I’ve cannibalized her body and continue to do so
The pain I cause her
The pain she causes me
It’s a lifetime hunger 
A lifetime of teeth grazing at similar parts
Tearing through her cervix and weaning her past traumas into a new life
She cradled me to her breast
Phantom teeth causing her the first of a lifetime of pain from me
In adolescence, I feel the tingling of hunger inch at my gums 
I need to eat
And my mother suffers the consequence of my hunger
She practically screams “Eat me” “Eat me” “Eat me and rid me of the pain I’ve endured in life. I’m sorry that I’ve burdened you with this same pain”
EAT ME!
She tastes bitter yet ripe
The seasoning of her mother and her mother before her
Their traumas bitter on tongue; sliding into my esophagus and settling in my stomach 
I wish I could eat my own womb
Save my daughter & myself from my own cannibalization 
I wish I could apologize to my mother, her mother, her mother
Because we’re all cannibals and we inherently eat and gnaw at the trauma of each other
And instead of changing, we continue to eat.

Feminist scholarship has helped us to understand that women who suppress their own unique gifts in the interest of being dutiful daughters, wives, and mothers are often filled with rage.
Whereas it would seem logical that a woman who feels thwarted in her own development might be thrilled to see her daughter become actualised, all too often her eroded self-esteem leads to mixed feelings or full-on expressions of competition and rage.
At its worst this mother-daughter warfare may actually lead parents to commit acts of soul murder, wherein they systematically try to destroy a daughter's self-esteem so that her gifts will never be realised.

Helen Luke addresses the immense difference between the mother/son and mother/daughter experience: “On the archetypal level the son carries for the mother the image of her inner quest, but the daughter is the extension of her very self, carrying her back into the past and her own youth and forward to the promise of her own rebirth into a new personality, into the awareness of the Self.”
Maureen Murdock, The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness

Testament (1983). The life of a suburban American family is scarred after a nuclear attack.
One of the best apocalypse films I've seen in a long time, I can't believe I'd never heard of it! Haunting in its exploration of grief after disaster, it never shies away from tragedy. Jane Alexander is staggering in the lead role too - her Oscar nom SO deserved (what a stacked year for Lead Actress!) so for that alone it's well worth adding to your list. Really, really good. 8/10.

Thankful Tuesday: Treasured Moments
Yesterday, my daughter asked me to draw whiskers on her face. She said she wanted to pretend she’s a cat. 🤣 So, I said yes, and when I was about to start drawing the whiskers on her cheeks, she began laughing. I tried again, and the same thing happened. And again, and she still kept laughing. Then we laughed out loud together. Then we tried again and stopped because we started laughing again. 🤣 I…
