me when the book has a vile, morally reprehensible protagonist and/or an insanely unreliable narrator who's prolly making shit up
forever thinking about how after reading tsh in highschool i started reading classics and then i went to college in vermont and went to one (1) classics club meeting and got so blinded by their aura that i got scared and never went again. one of them exclusively wears suits and trench coats and can be seen smoking around campus. i cant tell if its a bit or not. the president of the club actually said (paraphrased) "we welcome all majors! we dont want people thinking we're.... yknow."
Richard Papen pisses me off so bad especially in opposition to Judy Poovey like Judy is the exact representation of "young girls coming to conclusions men need a philosophy class to get" and she's also actively participating in the modern equivalent of bachannalias all week without murdering innocents. Also she's actually nice, dresses fancy and doesn't hide being a cringe fail bisexual. Richard keeps criticizing her bc he's misogynistic but really he fucking WISHES he lived like her. Meanwhile he gets high at a party once and discovers basic empathy. Jesus Christ
Richard Papen is truly god's strongest soldier because imagine being in love with every single member of your friend group and then learning said friends regularly host hedonistic rituals in which they all sleep together and to which you alone are not invited
Winter/December Solstice
December Solstice is the longest night and shortest day of the year, which usually occurs during December. This year it is celebrated on December 21. What is it about the winter solstice that inspires such myth and magic? The earliest people on Earth were fascinated by it. It’s safe to say we’re still smitten even today. The solstice marks the disappearance and return of the sun. And thus, celebrations can be both literal and metaphorical. No matter where you live, the solstice happens for everyone at the same time. That’s pretty magical and a reason to celebrate.
History of December Solstice
December Solstice or the Winter Solstice has always inspired mythical celebrations. The earliest humans learned to observe the sun’s path and the length of daylight. They noticed patterns of shifting sunrises and sunsets throughout the year.
To better understand the phenomenon, many ancient cultures dedicated monuments to charting the sun’s movement. Some historians believe that ‘Macchu Picchu’ in Peru and ‘Stonehenge’ in England followed the sun’s progress throughout the year. Today, we know a solstice is an ‘astronomical event’. The earth orbits around the sun at a tilt, not upright. What this means is the Northern and Southern Hemispheres take turns receiving the sun’s light directly. Thus, the earth’s tilt creates the onset of summer and winter, not our distance from the sun.
On the December Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is at the farthest away from the sun. It’s why the days become shorter and the nights become longer during this time. December Solstice marks the official beginning of winter. The solstice takes place at the same time everywhere on earth. You would need to research the exact time of the solstice per C.S.T. or U.S.T. time and calculate the difference per your time zone.
December Solstice has deep spiritual connotations too. When daylight increasingly retreats, it symbolizes a period of going within. For many cultures, this is a time of rest and introspection. At the same time, it’s also a celebration of light and the anticipation of spring. Solstice festivities differ widely across countries. It’s incredible how this astronomical phenomenon binds so many cultures. Each one has a different interpretation of this most special time of the year. No matter where you are in the world, the occurrence deserves celebration.
