washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

you won't believe the weather we've been getting [remembers to avoid giving away my location] the sky was turned to darkness and the moon to blood, and the stars fell from the heavens.

a lot of scholars have written about Enkidu's "domestication" in the Epic of Gilgamesh as being about the tension between the new, urban, settled way of life and the "wilder" nomadic lifestyles of the past. Which, sure. That definitely influenced the Themes and Dynamics that were meaningful to the listeners. But it's also about Being a Person

There are a lot of things you can read into Shamhat's "taming" of Enkidu through sex, some uncharitable. I think it's really interesting that loss of "virginity" in this story irreversibly changes you but doesn't have a gendered or "moral" meaning. I feel like interpreting it as a condensed way of depicting, like, 'adult' experience/interfacing with other people/intimacy/understanding that Other People Are People and You Are A Person in a mature way

Up until this point Enkidu's relationship with other humans is distant and dislocated, like he knows that other humans exist but he hasn't Realized. He feels more kinship with the animals than human beings. And then he meets Shamhat and he gets intimate with her and it's like...oh shit. He IS a human. Once you've realized you're a Person you can't un-realize it.

Like experiences do change you. And throughout your maturation process you repeatedly realize: Oh no. I can't go back.

Like Enkidu's beloved animals fleeing from his all-too-human smell, the things that once were important to you seem to slip away when you try to get close to them. You've changed. It's not a bad change but it is maddeningly permanent. You know what I mean?

[Video description–

Two videos uploaded to TikTok by Harper Watters @‌ theharperwatters, who is the first black queer soloist in the history of the Houston Ballet.

The start of the first video is captioned with a reply to a comment by someone with the handle ‘broadcast711’, that reads:

Post more for Black history month please [clasped hands emoji, red heart emoji, black heart emoji, green heart emoji]

The videos show Harper Watters executing some fluidly elegant ballet choreography in a studio. At various junctures he freezes momentarily as the camera cuts away to a photo (often vintage) of a male black dancer in exactly the same pose that Harper has adopted, heightening the drama of each pause. The choreography is studied, deliberate and respectful, and the videos read like a beautiful homage to talented dancers who have come before (and perhaps helped to pave the way) for Harper himself.

The dancers featured in the various cutaways are:

Benjamin Feliksdal

Sylvester Campbell

Kiyon Ross

Jermel Johnson

John Alleyne

Rubinald Pronk

Christopher Boatwright

Ronald Darden
