I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

I wrote a whole book on Abel Ferrara's MS.45, and while its gender politics are overt, Zoe Tamerlis was a fearless (and ironically very vocal) socialist activist who only took the part because she saw the real villain of the film was Thana's boss - the very embodiment of capitalism itself.
