#michael pope

a woman behind a counter in boston yesterday asks me:

"how many months are you?"

"sorry?"

she points at my stomach.

"how many months are you?"

"pregnant? i'm no months pregnant. but i had a baby like three years ago. does that count?"

she waved her hands in apology.

i like to think that it wasn't a coincidence that this happened to me about 5 hours before i released this little 7-minute film i've been working on (for the last 7 months) about how we re-wire our own feelings about our bodies - how we see them, how others see them, how we see others see them...

....about how our relationships to our own bodies get rewired after going through hell.

two nights ago i posted this super-personal video, "REWIRED": the first of a series of “patron journal vérité” mini-films, for my patrons only. it was scripted by me and directed by michael pope.

i didn't really feel like making this video open to the public for now.

we’ve had over 500 people join the patreon in the last few days...and while i don’t like keeping my shit behind a paywall, i also didn’t want to deal with the real world conversing about my body right now. and it feels so empowering to be able to make this kind of independent media with absolutely no rules. for the people who get it, and care.check your email if you’re a patron or just click this link (it'll open if you're logged into your patreon account). if you don't belong to the patreon, just join - for $1 if you want - to unlock the link/password.

fair warning: there's a lot of nudity / it's not safe for work:

Crimea, by Bryan Perrett. What I've always found interesting about this war is that most of my knowledge of it has come from reading about Florence Nightingale and her contemporary Mary Seacole. Though I had heard of various battles and the Charge of the Light Brigade, I really didn't know the logistics of them until this book.

There is, unsurprisingly, a bit about Nightingale in the story part, but just the briefest mention of her in the historical note. They didn't even include a portrait of her or any other notable figures, as they often do in this series.
