ysobelall from last night:
1. a West Wing episode where the wife of a Republican candidate announced she was creating a Republican Women group; their first event, highly publicized and televised, was skeet shooting, only she accidentally shot a bald eagle. The episode showed a badly-done cgi eagle landing almost on top of the wife, and then the eagle's face changed into the face of a Native American, following be the camera panning over to show two lines of Native American ghosts in stereotypical outfits. Episode ended with a press conference of the candidate announcing his divorce ("when I woke up this morning, I was lying next to my wife. Now, she no longer has a husband, I no longer have a wife, and she's packing up to move out") and withdrawal of his candidacy.
2. An X-Files episode where a government dude agreed to transfer a file of budget info to someone online, only when he initiated the transfer it allowed the other end access to everything including confidential stuff -- basically copying *.* in a way that government doofus couldn't interrupt. I, watching the ep, wanted to yell at him to pull the cord (either power or internet or both) but I was watching in a movie theater so couldn't. Rest of episode either didn't happen or I just don't remember.
3. Teen me (possibly only tween?) was going with my family to some sort of competitive test, possibly like a spelling bee. We had to pick a spot for me on the front bench; each spot had a reward of some sort. Some rewards were shoes, either dress shoes way too big for me or sandals that I couldn't really wear. The rest were fancy dress hats, mostly ... *stares at wikipedia page on hat styles* I guess picture hat and fascinator are the closest. I found one that looked like a tiny pink hat, meant to be worn perched on the side of the head, rather like this, and I put it on and felt like a queen. Rest of contest either didn't happen or I just don't remember.
4. Some guy reading from scripture that had been suppressed for centuries but recently re-found, detailing Jesus and his disciples ... basically having a giant orgy? It was written as being this ~mystic experience~ that ~transcended the limits of flesh~ but it boiled down to Jesus discarding his robe and joining them on the bed, so uhhhhhh yeah
5. The library here advertised showings of ... er, it was called "Cabaret", but not a musical and with a different plot, about trans people in Nazi Germany; the main character is this girl disguised as a boy who stays at a cheap boarding house that turns out to be all LGBT people, including a gay couple and a nun who turns out to be a trans woman; the main character falls in love with a trans woman and for a while is trying to figure out if she herself is trans or gay but eventually decides it doesn't matter because it doesn't change who she loves. I enjoy the movie but then my mom mentions wanting to see it (preferably with me) and that's a huge yikes because I'd have soooo much explaining to do, for her not to be confused.
(Also I woke up with "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" going through my head, which is definitely not Cavaret. Probably my brain snagged it via Moulin Rouge rather than Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? idk)
6. content warning: transphobia
Repeat of previous dream except Moms For Liberty was staging a small protest because of LGBT content, including signs mentioning "pedophilia" and "grooming children", so I decided to stage a counter protest. First I went to the nearby park, where people were having popcorn fights, and got a bullhorn and launched into this whole speech about how M4L and similar groups were right-wing hate mobs attacking the existence of LGBT, and how M4L etc were using the "groomer" attack as a reason why they should be allowed to look at kids' genitals so really who's the creepy side heee, and I was going to go over to the library to counter their protest so please feel free to join me and/or please sign this petition to get them banned from the university campus.
...the library isn't on campus (there's a university library, which is, but that's separate from the county library), so once I woke up I had a bit of a wtf moment, but dreams are like that.
