WINONA RYDER as MINA HARKER and SADIE FROST as LUCY WESTENRA

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992)

dir. francis ford coppola

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

To the cast and creative team of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, We write to you as Greeks, not as fragments of antiquity, not as echoes fr

A story can belong to humanity while still recognising the people and language from which it first emerged. We say this not in anger, but in recognition. Because too often, Greek history is treated as something that ended rather than something that continued. As if Greece exists only in a classical past, rather than through Byzantine continuity, through Ottoman endurance, through revolutionary rebirth, and into the present day; in cities, villages, islands, and diaspora communities across the world. So as you step into Homer’s world – into seas, wanderings, gods, and returning kings – we ask that you carry this awareness with you: That Greece is not only a setting in antiquity. It is a living country. Greek people are not historical figures. We are contemporaries. And when future opportunities arise to tell stories from any period of Greek history – ancient, medieval, or modern – we hope you will remember that Greek heritage is not absent from those stories. It is present, living, and still speaking for itself.

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

I'm reminded of the television series "Tales from the Green Valley" which is part of a series where historians and archaeologists pretend to go back in time and live how average people lived long ago for a year (specifically this season is the reign of James the First). The main cast spend most days together, at least large chunks of their time, but then we meet the charcoal maker. The charcoal maker is a transient man who goes from farm to farm, camps out, makes his charcoal through the day and into the night for as long as the farm owner wishes and then leaves. He spends little time with any other human, just him in the forest. Even in this idealistic historical setting of a rural farmer, there is still a job for the loner. The charcoal maker left little behind historically, there are no last names to indicate it was a family business and very few written records about them. It was the job of the solitary, prickly, obsessive, nocturnal, contrarian, private or just plain difficult man. So yeah, I urge people to consider that there will always be a place for a guy who wants to spend all his time away from people and there were jobs like that even under the reign of King James the First. They'll find their place, as they always have.

people get so mad when you tell them that their lowbrow entertainment they enjoy is actually lowbrow

epiphainie

everyone wants their self-indulgent romantasy to be considered high literature and whatever new mainstream pop boy/girl to be treated as the next beethoven and their gay fluff show on streaming apps to be revolutionary art changing the world and like, they're not. and that's okay. i'm literally watching the stupidest show right now and it's fine. it doesn't have to be more.

epiphainie

there's also the argument of how pop culture used to be the trickle down from high culture for the longest time but now it's an ouroboros eating itself as access and willingness to engage with high culture have been systematically destroyed and diminished through the last decades so your popcorn flick moviemaker now only gets inspiration from other popcorn flicks when their foreparents used to actually read literature and see art of all kinds and your pop musicians used to listen to all sorts of new and old music rather than just their contemporaries/competition and maybe this absence of any sort of culture outside of our easy algorithms is why everyone's so defensive of what they passively consume and so attached to it as a part of their identity but that's a discussion for another day
