“…forgive me Darling, for every word I say — my heart is full of you, none other than you in my thoughts, yet when I seek to say to you something not for the world, words fail me. If you were here — and Oh that you were, we need not talk at all, our eyes would whisper for us, and your hand fast in mine, we would not ask for language —”

— Emily Dickinson, in a letter to Susan Gilbert (Dickinson), 11 June 1852

Ophelia, raised from the water, battles furiously with it, and the original painting is suddenly shattered by a powerful feminine figure who finds another way to be unforgettable.

The Jewish bride in Talmudic times was veiled and elaborately crowned, her hair arranged and covered. Symbolically set apart and consecrated, she may be seen as corresponding to the sacrificial victim, whose status as sanctified and set apart from the flux of the profane is also marked by covering its head. Greeks wreathe and garland the heads of both brides and sacrificial victims; Jews cover the heads of their brides and lay hands on the heads of their sacrificial animals.

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”

#that's how they talked about christians historically though!#there was lots of accusations of cannibalism etc. when christianity was first becoming a movement

Another one of my incredibly unpopular anti-lit tungl opinions is that Her Body And Other Parties wasn’t actually that great but I DID find a copy in the basement somehow (my house is kind of a vortex that sucks books into itself against all logical explanation) so I’m willing to try it again

Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn’t lie. Tune in.

This is actually called thin slicing. Your brain recognizes patterns from very small “slices” of information by comparing them to things you have experienced before. This all happens very quickly on a subconscious level without our conscious mind being involved. So intuition is actually really fast pattern recognition, and it can be very accurate. So yeah, if you have a gut feeling that a person or situation is not good, get the hell out. Your brain knows what’s up.

Yes, I admit it. Every post I make, I’m like “this is the one that makes my future wife fall in love with me”
