That's All Carry On - Tumblr Posts

Watching The Handmaid's Tale and there is a scene (don't worry this isn't really a spoiler for the plot) where the doors close as Aunt Lydia leaves the room with all the handmaids, after which all the handmaids get up from their sitting on their beds and run to a handmaid who is on crutches. They all start to hug her, smiling and laughing and whispering stories to each other in this close knit mob of women, momentarily free from the eyes and ears and ears of authority. I feel like those kind of scenes are so rare in TV and movies today, showing how women always manage to find community and resilience in each other even in the darkest places. It just hit me hard in the emotions.
