PRIDE (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus

Several times on here I've seen the take "I know local theater is bad and cringey, but you have to support it anyway!" And while I understand what they're getting at, I'm always like, why do you assume it's going to be "bad" just because the artists are members of your own community? I just saw a local production of The Importance of Being Earnest and it was HILARIOUS. Everyone was DELIGHTFULLY funny and we thoroughly enjoyed it! There have been so many times I've been greatly moved by "amateur" or student art, and if you can't allow yourself to appreciate anything but "the Best" (and who decides what "the Best" is anyway? This production of "Earnest" was way funnier than the version that Judy Dench and Rupert Everett were in, as deservedly "famous" as they might be) then you are just being a joyless snob. There's beauty and talent all around you. And if that makes me "easy to please," then well... That means I'm pleased more often! And why should I want to apologize for that?

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

Allow me to share this image of very medically accurate top surgery scar placement options I found in my pre-op research.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern. it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this

follow up question to the chaucer post but why do you like canterbury tales? do you have a favourite? (i'm studying for a chaucer exam in about a week so the canterbury tales are currently the bane of my existence but i'd love to hear why you're into them!!)

The Canterbury tales are a lot of fun in general in my opinion. They’re an impossible little slice of medieval life. They’re social commentary and entertainment and it’s a shame that Chaucer never got to finish them.

In real life people of this many different social classes would never travel together as equals, pilgrimage or not, but that doesn’t matter for the broader story.

The way that the characters are portrayed and the stories that they tell are proof that in medieval England a guy had opinions. Medieval society is often portrayed as a monolith of miserable people all blindly thinking the same things. Untrue.

We see greedy and hypocritical religious leaders, dishonest merchants, knights who don’t live up to their supposed ideals.

There’s also stories told that are unusually kind to women for the time period (even if they have their own sexism issues). A woman cheats on her husband and farts in a man’s face and she isn’t the butt of the joke or portrayed as particularly wrong in that situation. The moral of one of the stories is explicitly that the thing that women desire most is equality in their marriage.

The canturbury tales is funny, it’s stupid, it’s insightful, it has a lot of personality beaming off of the page. It’s not hard to see at all why it was preserved for so long. It’s a good read.

there’s a local guy called the Sidewalk Astronomer who sets up outside the clubs downtown with a giant telescope and lets the drunk people walking by look at the stars. he’s my hero and he let me see the moon and Jupiter today

About to take an 11 hour plane ride so I've decided to re-listen to my favorite musical

Y'know? The one about 9/11...

lebagelgirl

Sorry that's not fair, I forgot to mention that it is a feel good heart warming musical... about 9/11.

lebagelgirl

Seriously, go listen to Come from Away, it will make you cry (positive) and then cry (negative) and then cry (positive). And when its all over you'll be left with a feeling that i can only describe as feeling very big in the way a star is very small
