this DOES actually make me feel old btw

want to feel old? we're now further from the day in 1995 when the protagonist of "The State I Am In" was troubled by a dream (which stayed with them all day) than they were from the day when they were happy and surprised (in 1975)

@antifuchs yeah i liked orphan black (the first few seasons at least?) but i'd say it is like 100% about trauma

could really use some media that playfully mythologizes and glorifies the lives of single women in their late-thirties the way eg scott pilgrim does for men in their early twenties, that ISN'T focused on sex (eg _Sex and the City_) or trauma (eg _Russian Doll_)
