people always talk about the doomed love timeloop when they talk about hadestown. look i love that shit as much as the next homosexual but can we please talk about the revolutionary politics. genuinely one of the best anticapitalist pieces of art of the 21st century. can we watch act 2 with our brains please

YEEESSSS PLEASE

dare i say it's, like, the main point of the show? yes, the cyclical nature is important, but that cyclical nature is used as a piece of the anti-capital message.

it is inevitable that there will be oppression, someone at the top taking advantage of others. we live in a broken world, it's bound to happen.

but it's also inevitable we will fight, that we'll find that community and art and love is what saves us. to take back our humanity and use it to fix what is broken.

it will happen again and again. it's a sad song, it's an old song. but there will always be people motivated by their love and motivated by each other.

#calling it just a love story is reductionist and frankly a lil disrespectful #anais mitchell ily #hadestown

We need to renormalize not carrying smartphones everywhere, we need to renormalize not being available any and every waking minute of the day, we need to renormalize things like paying with cash, writing things in physical notebooks and calendars, waiting long periods to get answers or responses, and other things that have been taken over by a smartphone function.

Peeta’s boobs are bigger than katniss’ send post

#some of yall do not draw peeta chunky enough ok #he is a UNIT #josh hutcherson ily but peeta is NOT 5'6 #thg

oh, there is something to be said about the hunger games romance duos (snow/lucy gray, haymitch/lenore dove, peeta/katniss), how two out of three ended in hurt and only one made it out. something about the necessity of peeta. there wouldn't have been a revolution without peeta. there is something here. i can feel it but i can't grasp it.

No cause why is snow always beefing with 16 year olds like what are you doing you’re literally the president of panem

do we think, post-mockingjay, katniss continues to hunt with traps? or is it too reminiscent of the games & the war?

A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.

It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.
