cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amounts to around 125-150 mL in the human body at any given time. The stabilizer daily doses look around 4-5 mL each, providing enough stabilizer for a month at a time. Also, CSF gets replenished every 6-7 hours, and up to 500 mL can be produced in a day (100 doses of stabilizer over 24 hours). Also that Tuohy needle didn’t need go that deep ffs. do your math and get a grip girlllllll

(I also enjoyed the backwards cannulation - needle pointing towards hand - when Elizabeth switches Sue back and they both come back)

must be Greta Thunberg’s favourite movie

there's something tremendously endearing, captivating, about wim wenders' characters, a naivety that's almost childlike -- no matter how absurd the situations, how horrible and desperate their choices. they respond to evil in clumsy ways, wide-eyed, as if experiencing it for the first time. or perhaps it's just bruno ganz.
stunning work by robby muller, as usual. side note: dennis hopper taking polaroid selfies while sobbing and lying down on a pool table drenched in neon light is life.
