Thomson Street Foodstore, Northcote

GF what? Crumpets! Fruit bread!

It's a well-known fact that coeliacs know no bounds when it comes to getting their hands on gluten-free goods. Personally, we'd climb mountains (or at least to residential Northcote) for Thomson Street's house-baked gluten-free fruit bread and crumpets.

We don't know what twisted fate landed coeliac Felix Goodwin in the Saigon Sally kitchen, but we're forever grateful. Every single one of the desserts on the menu is gluten-free, including the Tira-me-Sally, lychee pannacotta and the mother flipping holy grail: vietnamese doughnuts with salted caramel and coconut sorbet.

Mary Jane Veloso was due to die on Nusakambangan Island before a request from her home country.

The only woman due to be executed along with eight other people in Indonesia overnight was given a last-minute reprieve from the Indonesian Attorney General.

The only woman due to be executed along with eight other people in Indonesia overnight was given a last-minute reprieve from the Indonesian Attorney General.

Veloso, 30-year-old mother-of-two was arrested with 2.6kg of heroin at Adisucipto International airport in Yogyakarta in 2010.

She was sentenced to death in 2010 and had her appeal for clemency rejected by Indonesian President Joko Widodo in March this year. As the eight other men were led to a floodlit clearing to be shot this morning, Veloso was left behind.

"The execution of Mary Jane has been postponed due to the request of the Philippines President in relation to an alleged human trafficker who recently gave herself up in the Philippines,” Attorney General spokesman Tony Spontana said this morning.

The Jakarta Post reports that Veloso is needed as a witness to a case involving Maria Kristina Sergio, who handed herself in to police on Tuesday.

It will be claimed that Veloso was tricked into carrying drugs into Indonesia by a trafficking syndicate. The stay of execution does not mean she will not be killed at a later date.

Speaking on Philippines radio this morning, Veloso's mother was ecstatic.

"We are so happy, I can't believe it. I can't believe my child will live," she said. "Miracles do come true."

"Ex Machina,""Gone Girl," And The Myth Of The Perfect Girl

0
0

The problem with the perfect girl is that she doesn’t exist. And is a murderer! (Warning: Spoilers for Gone Girl and Ex Machina within.)

Alicia Vikander as Ava in Ex Machina.

Universal Pictures International

Ex Machina tells the story of a beautiful cyborg trapped in the isolated estate of the reclusive genius who created her, and the young man who feels compelled to save her. Like Her before it, the movie examines the pitfalls of making a female consciousness to male specifications: A male protagonist sees a future for himself with a female artificial intelligence who (spoiler alert) ultimately abandons him to suit her own purposes.

But Ex Machina — more than being a horror film about the scary possibilities of artificial intelligence — is a flawed story about men losing control of women and the bankruptcy of gender roles. Basically, Ex Machina is the Gone Girl of 2015.

In the former, a sci-fi film, a brilliant and extremely rich programmer, Nathan (Oscar Isaac) designs an artificial intelligence to appeal to Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a less brilliant programmer who is brought in to test the intelligence of Ava (Alicia Vikander), the machine herself. She manipulates him into caring for her, and the infatuated Caleb sets her free. Unencumbered by human rules, she then leaves him to die after he enables her escape.

In the latter, a melodramatic thriller, Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) is compelled to follow her jobless husband (Ben Affleck) from a metropolis to Missouri, where he fails to be the man she married, while she continues looking and acting like the beautiful, thin, cosmopolitan woman he married. In the end, she forces his hand, dedicating the rest of her life to both punishing him and making him hold up his end of the relationship bargain.

Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne in Gone Girl.

Merrick Morton / Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises

Of course, there was more than one possible reading of Gone Girl. If you watched it as a horror film, then it was about male anxiety personified in a psycho bitch who trapped and tortured men by terrorizing them with false rape accusations and matrimony. But if you watched it as a revenge fantasy, then it was about a bitch who revisits the sins of men on them tenfold, holding men to the same unreasonably high standards of perfection to which she herself is held.

Likewise, Ex Machina is about a female character who, at first, seems to embody a male ideal of perfection. She's beautiful, smart, and charming. Like Gone Girl's Amy, who says she's obligated to love blow jobs, Ava is also programmed to love sex. Nathan tells Caleb that there's an orifice between her legs that he's rigged to a "pleasure response"; the hole is designed to be penetrated by a penis. "She'd enjoy it," he says, because like Amy, Ava is made to spec. She has no real choice but to enjoy it.

But the director of Ex Machina, Alex Garland, told Wired that Ava is "literally genderless," that "the things that would define gender in a man and a woman, she lacks them, except in external terms."

How could one's physicality and the way people read gender on one's body be disconnected from gender? Saying Ava is "literally genderless" is at best naive and at worst profoundly stupid. Tell that to any woman who has ever walked down a city street. Or any little girl who knows "you throw like a girl" is an insult. Explain it to a transgender person. "No, that man on the subway who told you your haircut was acceptable to him, he's not reminding you that he thinks you exist to be visually pleasing to him."

And then explain Ava, on whose naked body the camera creepily lingers. Ava, whose face and body are patterned on the porn performers Caleb masturbates to. Ava, with her ingenue dresses and her lost urchin pixie cut crying out to be rescued by a man. She is as gendered as it is possible to be. She has learned her gender.
