I've thought about what is gallows humor? It's not really laughing at something or making a joke because something is sad. The humor is ever present. It's just the ability and the desire to locate it, to say, I want to attach laughter to this experience. Because you could just look through the whole thing darkly. You could just say, oh, this didn't go the way I wanted it to.
This didn't go the way I wanted it to. And I'm dying of cancer. And the real life Molly in the podcast, she has this totally innocent bemusement about the situations that she would find herself in and also a complete lack of judgment about what people wanted to do and what their bodies craved and how she was a part of that and how it made her own body feel. She was this observer.

And also, I don't want to use the word angel because she's like a very real person, but she was looking for the best version of things and sitting in a neutral space about bodies. Even when she's talking about her cancer treatments and what's happening to her body and how her body is failing and all of the secretions that a body can make and that they're happening in tandem.

And sickness is something that is being done to your body and your body is... acting against your own will, and that sexuality is something where you can have strong ideas. You can sort of both be in control and out of control, influenced by the other person, and then learning more about yourself in the process of it.

And that these two kind of bodily experiences, both full of feeling and surprises and smells, she found a way to hold both experiences right until the very end. She was in hospice and she was still looking for ways to appreciate and love her own body. She really loved putting on like beautiful lingerie.

She would take a picture and she would send a sexy selfie and some guy would be like, oh, that was amazing, thank you. She refused to deny herself any pleasure in the midst of all this pain.

Yeah, because how do you know what you want until you try it? If you've been conditioned to believe that a certain kind of sexuality is acceptable, okay, normal, how do you even know what's out there? And how do you know if you like it or don't like it or if it's for you?

A patriarchy? Yeah, yeah. But things that we've inherited make that bucket that bucket. I hope that the generational turnover is going to drain that bucket into the bucket of, first of all, normal, acceptable, great, pleasurable, and also... personal.
