It’s Dissolution’s turn this week! Steve and Tony start to really dig into the heart of their biggest issues, which basically involved me sitting at my computer sniffling for three chapters straight (and counting.)

DepressionBeard!Steve says go read it now! (Or, you know. When you have time.)

A Brief Summary of Scotland's Anger

Some of you may have heard that England has blocked Scotland's gender reform bill. Others may have seen the demands for dissolution of the union as a result. Please allow me to sum up the anger as impartially as I can:

Historically, the Scottish hate the English for a variety of reasons: see the Jacobite Uprisings and the Clearings. But this is about modern politics, so let's start there.

Essentially the SNP, the ruling political party in Scotland, have been trying for YEARS to get a referendum result where the Scottish people vote to leave the United Kingdom. In 2014, David Cameron (the then prime minister of the UK) gave permission for a referendum to be held, and 55% of the population voted to remain in the UK. Some of the reasons for staying was the economic stability from using the pound sterling currency and being able to stay in the EU, as well as access to funding from the rest of the UK (the arguement being that Scotland could not afford to support itself without help from Westminster).

Since then, the SNP and some of the other, smaller parties have argued that the initial result of the 2014 referendum was not strong enough, and that the initial promises made to the Scottish people are no longer valid (see Brexit and the recent economic crisis for the big examples, but there are others). Recently, the SNP has even taken the matter of the right to hold a second referendum to the Supreme Court, the highest court in the UK and one that deals mostly with English cases. The court ruled that, based on the current laws and treaties, Scotland needed permission from Westminster to hold another referendum. This has angered many people, regardless of if they want to stay or remain, and this latest action against Trans Rights could put more pressure on Parliament.

Scotland, as a country, has always been slightly more to the left of the political spectrum than England, which has led to many political conflicts where England just pulls rank to 'resolve' the issue. For example, Scotland HATES having nuclear weapons, and the UK's nuclear submarines are based on the west coast of Scotland. Another example is in the NHS, where prescriptions are free in Scotland but a flat rate in England. Nicola Sturgeon (leader of the SNP) had wanted to put Scotland in lockdown earlier than England and had even set up a different way out of lockdowns that was more gradual, but it ended up being watered down into 'Scotland had to wear masks for longer than England'.

Now, the Gender Recognition Bill removes many barriers for trans healthcare, such as how long an individual has to self-identify as a different gender to the one they were assigned at birth, lowering the age at which an individual can change the gender on their birth certificate to 16, and removing the need for a gender disphoria diagnosis. The gender disphoria diagnosis is one of the biggest barriers for trans healthcare in the UK at the moment, as a referal to even get the chance to be diagnosed can take years, and people have died on the waitlist just for a first appointment. For a more in-depth look at the issues surrounding trans healthcare in the UK, I recommend Abigail Thorn's video essay titled 'I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times: The Crisis In the British Healthcare System' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1eWIshUzr8). Fair warning, it will make you furious.

The Gender Recognition Bill was passed by the Scottish Parliament, also known as Holyrood, by 86 votes to 39. That's pretty good for a bill like this, but the UK Parliament has prevented this bill from receiving 'royal assent', which is required to make the bill enforcable. This has angered a lot of people, as it could be seen as England blocking the will of the Scottish people. Unfortunately, Scotland cannot leave the UK without permission. This is why there has been so much emphasis on a referendum, as the result could put pressure on the UK Parliament. England is reluctant to give permission, and one of the main reasons floated for this are the oil fields in Scottish waters.

TLDR: Scotland has always been annoyed at England, and the latest action to block this bill could tip those bad feelings over into full on anger, revolt and revolution.

Bubbles Encased in Ice

If you've ever made ice in a freezer, you've probably noticed the streaks of frozen bubbles inside the ice. In its liquid state, water is good at dissolving various gases -- like the carbon dioxide in sparkling water. (Image credit: J. Meijer and D. Lohse; via GoSM) Read the full article

the first trailer for book one of CJ Sansom’s ‘shardlake’ series (Dissolution) is out and…

Is it just me or is this marketed as if it’s an action thriller? Down to the editing, the music, the fonts used. Which is frankly bizarre since it’s supposed to be a murder mystery. It’s set almost entirely in a monastery! It’s not a big sprawling epic…

youtube

#this was not at all the vibe I was expecting #I… don’t like it #not trying to say the show will be bad I am just not a fan of the way it’s framed here #hopefully that’s down to the promotion side of it and isn’t a reflection of the series in of itself #this style would be more suited for the last book at Mousehold #where there actually is a big battle at the end #and events of state are discussed more #but that’s not what the first book is #also I hope they don’t make London look really grey and dreary. it’d be nice to have a Tudor city that isn’t. like. drab #first look at sean bean as cromwell tho #he’s gonna be so dastardly. look at those smiles! positively nefarious #but Sean bean looks like he’s doing a good job #shardlake #thomas cromwell #historical drama #period drama #Shardlake series #dissolution #early modern #the reformation #cj sansom #the Tudors #Tudor #Tudor history #Tudor drama #the dissolution of the monasteries

Shardlake Trailer

In 16th century England, during the dissolution of monasteries, Thomas Cromwell sends Matthew Shardlake and Jack Barack to uncover the truth behind a horrific murder. "As they race to uncover the mystery, Shardlake and Barack are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order." (Hulu)

Shardlake is based on C.J. Sansom's Dissolution, the first of his Tudor crime novels following Matthew Shardlake. The four-part miniseries stars Arthur Hughes (Matthew Shardlake), Anthony Boyle (Jack Barack), and Sean Bean (Thomas Cromwell). Justin Chadwick directs from a screenplay by Stephen Butchard.

Shardlake premieres on Hulu on May 1, 2024.

Celebrating Nina Menkes! “A distinct and idiosyncratic figure in American cinema, Ms. Menkes... has also remained somewhat overlooked, an outsider both on the indie film scene and in avant-garde circles. Her work is sometimes called experimental, but unlike most experimental filmmakers she makes narrative features."

Read more in The New York Times's A Cinematic Sorceress of the Self.

Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022)

"The film was never meant to present a balanced view. The film is a polemic that is balancing 120 years of the male gaze on our backs. I’m not trying to be balanced. That’s the first thing I want to say. The second thing I want to say is that the film is purposely simple. The diagrams we present are simple on purpose. We want you to be able to apply a basic diagram to each of the different and complicated situations that unfold in the film." Read more in Filmmaker Magazine's “120 Years of the Male Gaze On Our Backs”: Nina Menkes on Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power. Visit the film's website for more information including essential reading and other resources.

Dissolution (2010) "Thematically somber but visually luminous, “Dissolution,” the remarkable new work from the Israeli-American filmmaker Nina Menkes, explores a soul stained by blood and smothered by loneliness." Read more in The New York Times's review.

Phantom Love (2007)

'"Phantom Love" is intentionally designed and structured in an open manner, welcoming the viewer to various interpretations. One of them — implied by the title — is that much of the rest of the film's images and sounds are the wandering thoughts Lulu experiences during sex.' Read more in Variety's film review.

Queen of Diamonds (1991)

"The latest jewel in the crown of independent filmmaker Nina Menkes, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS may become for America in the 90’s what JEANNE DIELMAN was for Europe in the 70’s—a cult classic using a rigorous visual composition to penetrate the innermost recesses of the soul." Read more in Les Cahiers Du Cinema's review.

So, I recently learned that if we put a rat in a bottle of mountain dew for two days, the rat will dissolve. So, doesn’t that mean a human body can be dissolved too? By like, soaking it in mountain dew?
