not that either is a good thing but there is a small cosmic sort of irony to appreciate in the way that the russian invasion of ukraine and the most recent nakba happened so close together and how they through comparison made it undeniably clear how much the definition of war crime and genocide and atrocity &etc depends on the geopolitical interests of the imperial core

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

blippity-bloop

i recently read a different take on this. where eurydice begs orpheus to look at her, not because she thinks he's ignoring her or anything, but because she knows she's dead and beyond saving, and it breaks her heart to see him so deep in denial that he's willing to go to the underworld to find her. when he looks at her he's facing the fact that she's gone, and he lets go of this ghost hope he was carrying around, to begin mourning in earnest. it was heartbreaking, and gorgeous, and so different from the other versions i'm familiar with. and it exposes the humanity that lies at the very heart of this myth, the interplay between grief and love and how harmful it can be.

#for anyone wondering #it was “assenza: Orfeo ed Euridice” by Valeria Parrella #It's a theatre piece in Italian #She won a premio strega a while back so she might be famous enough for translation who knows

All I need is for someone to gently cup my face and tell me I'm not as doomed as I feel.

hi-yenas

Terfs after they get butch women kicked out of womens bathrooms for looking too much like a man, call cis women men because they don't fit a white western beauty standard, say people who've had mastectomies (which are mostly cancer patients) are mutilated, reduce women down to their anatomy, act like trans men are clueless little girls who can't think for themselves, say women are naturally worse at sports and quiz shows and beauty pageants than men, flash a fake bush in parliament with children present, rile up so much bullshit about trans athletes that now there's laws being made where little girls have to have genital inspections, and throw intersex people under the bus at every opportunity

Hopepunk is the cold hard knowledge that wallowing in despair while the world burns does nothing to mitigate the situation and that the only logical course of action is to fight back. It is, in essence, disillusionment with disillusionment.

Disillusionment with disillusionment. I love that, it's very true.
