MAN, I splurged and spent about 70 bucks on Possession (1981). It's an extremely rare (only 2,000 manufactured) blu-ray box set release of the movie, which is not cheap to purchase anywhere. I bought the used DVD a year or two ago for about 30 bucks and the end of the movie skips for about a minute. Total shame. After seeing the blu-ray box set release on eBay for around 150 bucks, I spotted it on amazon for 69.99 and decided to take the plunge.

This is easily the most impressive single-movie box set I've ever seen. Suede slip-cover, ultra-debossed lettering (omg it even has a watermark (jk) ), and a magnetic clasp that acts as the latch to open and close the box. Inside is the blu-ray of the movie, the official CD soundtrack, tons of artwork and an actual certificate of authenticity, verifying the rarity of the release. Totally worth the purchase for any movie collector, and especially if you are a fan of the film.

It’s a workplace. You’re not just there by choice, you should have the right to not have people make you uncomfortable. It’s a tough line but it’s a needed line.

What's so tough about it? You don't like to be touched or your personal space fucked with, tell em. If people just be normal and don't overthink shit, ain't no deal. For instance, in the above scenario, I call that chick Ironica, where she is the type of chick that needs a good gaping in order to feel whole again. So you oblige and lay the pipe, or you tell her to take her plumbing needs elsewhere. Provided neither party is unhinged, done. What you don't do is make me play musical chairs and start crying how someone touched your arm. That will be an expensive last round of drinks for you.

But there’s no free choice in a workplace. There’s always power dynamics and continued interaction. So in the scenario of a person making moves on a colleague when unwanted, they see eachother the next day regardless. Random bar thing, you can part ways with varying degrees of disgust/satisfaction and never see eachother again. Not so for work places.

It’s easy to laugh at those scenarios but many women and some men say they experience workplace harassment, sexual harassment and bullying. They definitely experience unfair treatment. And until they dint I’d rather have campaigns and awareness than to pretend it’s all fine. Discrimination isn’t a joke and it does happen way too often, even in subtle forms.
