#bsueng490 annotating is everything in this class. literally mark anything that's interesting that you want to bring up in a class discussion

Tip: Read the texts and give yourself enough time to finish them. Some readings can be long. If it helps, I also had a doc where I put quotes and my thoughts as I was reading. That helped to make my bluesky posts.

Take care of yourself—some of the topics are hard, worth it, but hard. You can manage it and take care of yourself, just ensure you prioritize it. #bsueng490

Always be planning ahead! Give yourself time to read the readings, get the basic ideas, and take note of what other people say. You get an amazing experience to hear such unique voices unlike your own. Listen, engage, and empathize #BSUENG490

#bsueng490 PLEASE READ THE TEXTS!! if you don’t have time or don’t feel like it, at the bare minimum skim it because you’ll be screwed for the rest of the class if you don’t read anything

This semester I've noticed that there have been several comparisons between humans (more specifically women) and animals. This story adds to that comparison, especially when it comes to the desire for freedom #bsueng490

Family Guy!

Yes! Great distiinction.

I love that quote about wildness!

Good point. Her rage is rage at being a woman in her society!

In case you were wondering, the firefighters in France really do know how to party...#bsueng490

It's an incredible scene - you have to ask, why is the first scene sexy and the last scene weird/gross?

Yes, that's interesting - you could say she takes on a male presentation to save herself, not necessarily out of wanting to be a boy, but she definitely bends gender before that.

can’t lie the soundtrack in this movie is lowkey fire, interesting how the lyrics in this song mention self denial 👁️👁️

The baby was part machine because the "father" was a car.

Fire brigands get training in childbirth! #bsueng490

"Wayfaring Stranger" was on the radio when the car crashed at the start of the movie #BSUENG490

YES

Hahahaha

Compare this to how her dance at the beginning is received! And some of them Like it!!! #bsueng490

Ok but other than the car fetus everything else about pregnancy here tracks. You feel like there's an alien inside of you… #bsueng490

I think it has to do with her accident and the plate in her head that gave her an affinity with cars, like a cyborg!

YES yes yes

A bunch of men dancing together under a neon pink light as the only woman sits off in the corner, interesting. Lighting is seeming to have some significance right now. #BSUENG490

Hahaha

Just wait - best dancing scene is to come!

I'm very appreciative that the captain is being so understanding (in his own way) of Adrians mutism and alleged sexuality. The fact that Adrian felt comfortable enough to call him 'papa' when he was passed out shows a lot.

In all-male settings they are allowed to be free of toxic masculinity #bsueng490
