Starting my speech at the Omelas city council with a child acknowledgement statement

[caintooth]

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.

professor just said “Macbeth’s best friend is not his wife, it is the audience.” not even my shakespeare class professor. my head is spinning. his best friend is the audience...

[butchhamlet]

i know that in many ways this is just how soliloquies work. but now i'm also thinking about how macbeth increasingly withdraws from lady macbeth through the second half of the play, becoming less and less transparent. and to some degree he does this with us too, his language getting more tangled as he hesitates to put words to his worst plans, but then, he hesitates to say "murder" in his first soliloquy too. we're the ones who go with him to the witches; we're the ones who hear tomorrow and tomorrow. again i promise i understand this is how soliloquies work but it's not something i've thought about this way with him before rather than, like, hamlet

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

Was just having a discussion with my fiance that taco bell should change their slogan to "it's gonna be okay" or at the very least shorten "live más" to "live". just feels like thats what we need from them

[funstyle]

They should change it to "live por favor" and when they hand you your order you hold hands for a moment and look in each others eyes

Sorry I think the reason I’m so stuck on supernatural is because it understands American loneliness kind of more than any other show. Like who else’s pussy was big enough to put an angel next to a vending machine. That’s so powerful. How are you going to have a show about America and most of it takes place on highways and in offbrand motel rooms confronting monsters. Not to mention the uncanny valley of shooting in backwoods Canada and trying to pass it off as Route 66. It’s so perfect because it says America is a distant dream that we can’t reach and a land of ghosts and then it follows through. It says there’s always a war below the surface and we are all fighting constantly to keep it in check. Death drives a hotrod through Chicago. There’s two brothers and a demon in a diner and they’re getting milkshakes together. How can you show a man losing faith with an angel next to him. My brain feels so hot can someone please microwave me.

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."

-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

[wizardnuke]

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

“Take year 3 student Emma Glenfield, who started with a simple question about magpies and wound up conducting some cutting-edge research almost by accident."

Do magpies target you? This eight-year-old's viral research could explain why

Emma Glenfield wants to know why magpies swoop. She's conducting some cutting-edge research — and displaying her results with Lego.

[adastra-sf]

"I watched the people he swooped and I recorded it," Emma said.

"Then I got everything I recorded and I figured out that the people Mr Swoopsalot swooped were male, they were tall, and that they had thin or receding hair."

y'all i don't usually say this shit out loud but please read the link. she got 30 THOUSAND responses to her survey. THIRTY THOUSAND. And she's eight. So learning how to use MS Excel for that data wasn't really an option.

So she made a graph out of Legos. LEGOS!!

This kid is an absolute genius and I am so excited for her.

wonder if someone has written academic text on folk horror from an indigenous perspective

[bagofbonesmp3]

not written from an indigenous perspective per s but i really liked this article (‘It’s All an Indian Burial Ground’: Folk Horror Cinema’s Reckoning with Colonial Violence)

[wizardysseus]

you may have found this before, although i didn't see anyone mention it in the notes, but a glossary of haunting by eve tuck and c. ree is available for free, a piece by two indigenous scholars about american horror and colonization. i have come back to it frequently since the first time i read it.
