once malice is embraced as a virtue, it is impossible to contain.

god i can't stop thinking about the odyssey. there were so many perfect moments. the twist that's not really a twist but which made me cry, the interweaving of three lines of plot, the nods to oral history as mixed with most-current understandings of ancient history, the spectacle, the action, the fucking costumes were actually perfection. it felt so real and cohesive both aesthetically, historically, and mythologically and it's something i care about so deeply. and then there's the SOUND DESIGN, the music, the action, all the raw stuff that makes a good movie. zendaya's dual casting reveal. lupita. agamemnon. whatever the fuck antinous had going on. just felt like such a lived in world and modern to itself in a way you almost never see in historical fiction. and it respects the audience. there's not really any hand holding about the history, the mythology, classic literature, regional knowledge. it's been so long since i felt like a film wasn't doing baby hours. mmmm mmm i can't wait to see it again in 70 mm. annnnyway i think it's worth watching!

sorry to everyone out there who thinks they have the funniest tshirt but i think i can confidently say i just saw the actual funniest tshirt just now. i passed by a beautiful black woman with long multicolor braids blowing majestically in the beach breeze & she was wearing an oversized tshirt that said in gigantic letters "WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR"

academic writing these days is always like “be/longing” “re-membering” “(under)standing”

STEM academic writing is like "we present the results of the ACRONYM project (A ContRived mnemOnic is NecessarY Material)"

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

[paverics]

comedians can only dream of writing something this funny

kitten update: i wanted a pair of boy kittens and so i had a multiple day crisis over these two kittens being girls because it means getting them spayed which is a much more involved process. i finally came around after being convinced by multiple people that it wouldn't be that big of a deal and i would still be giving them a good home and getting two potential mom kitties off the street. previous owner thought they were girls, too. anyway they got their shots today. guess what. i can't fucking tell cat genders apart apparently. they are both boys.
