Life Reboot check-in

Check in time! The life reboot is still on-going, and I think I’ve done pretty well this month. Exercise consistently – 5/5 I kept to my schedule of working out four days a week, and since the semester started, I’ve been walking with a friend after classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays on top of going to the gym. Tuesdays and Thursdays are long and exhausting days, but I’m sticking with my workout…

Ghostbusters, an equation:

4 funny women over 30, where the panning shots are of their talented action and not sexualizing their bodies. + 3 women with PhDs, and 1 with an encyclopedic knowledge of New York, who go into business for themselves and help each other get over craving validation from academia; all the while demonstrating that skill, talent, and knowledge can happen outside institutional systems of oppression. + 2 friends who wrote a book together, and the central love story is a platonic love story. + 1 queer artistic genius engineer with keen fashion sense that represents the mad scientist every little girl wanted to be growing up. = Why people in their 30s find themselves spontaneously crying at this movie, and this is why Ghostbusters is the signal that everything is changing.

oh my god. Imagine being Whoopi and hearing that though.

Well, when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,“ Goldberg says. “I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.” - See more at: http://www.startrek.com/database_article/goldberg-whoopi#sthash.gKeuf3XI.dpuf

That’s three generations. Nichelle Nichols to Whoopi Goldberg to Leslie Jones.

“At what point did you decide to take Will and Hannibal’s romance from subtext into text? Was that always the plan from season one?”

Bryan Fuller: “No, it naturally evolved because I guess I was absorbing so much of Mads and Hugh’s performance, which felt like it was growing in intimacy, and it would have been inauthentic not to address it. Because all of these characters, and particularly Bedelia, was able to call out what she had witnessed [between Hannibal and Will], it seemed like a natural conclusion.I remember when I turned in the rewrite pages where Will asks Bedelia if Hannibal is in love with him, I got a note from Don Mancini, one of our writers who was always pushing for more homosexual text – not just context or subtext but text, text, text – and he was like, “I’m so glad you put that in there! They said it! They said it!“I was a little surprised by how excited he was because it just felt organic to me, so I guess I had been fooling myself about how obvious that element of the story was. Maybe I had been reacting to the feedback in the Twitterverse, where there was a lot of Hannigram wish fulfilment. I hoped that it wouldn’t be interpreted as pandering to the hardcore Hannigram fanbase, and that it was felt to be an authentic, logical extension of everything we’d been doing thus far.” [Bryan Fuller interview for Digital Spy on September 6, 2015]

at what point in history do you think americans stopped having british accents

libby-on-the-label

lesbian-state-of-mind

Actually, Americans still have the original British accent. We kept it over time and Britain didn’t. What we currently coin as a British accent developed in England during the 19th century among the upper class as a symbol of status. Historians often claim that Shakespeare sounds better in an American accent.

Always add in the video that according to linguists, Native southern drawl is a slowed down British.

T’ be or not t’be, y’all.

sogayitwrites

Fun fact: Same thing happened with the French accent. French Canadians still have the original French accent from the 15th century.

I’ve been trying to find this post for months. I’m freakishly obsessed with this and want the truth of what early colonists sounded like.

neil-gaiman

The early colonists would probably have sounded a lot like Shakespearian Original Pronunciation. Watch this… (and listen).

So I woke up today (Feb. 20, 2015, 7:14 AM here on my side of the world) to a glorious Twitter rant from one of my favourite authors about how one can’t say the “hard” sciences are more important than the “soft” sciences, and why neglecting things like history and anthropology is really lazy writing.

Fucking FINALLY. I’ve been saying this for years. BRAVO Scott Lynch.

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”

my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”
