it’s remarkable how much money you can save by not leaving the house and not eating and not moving
looking at my bank account after a month of being in a depressive coma like wow. I’m so good at budgeting
The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being.

most movie scenes of all time (1/?) ↪ nose-breaking kiss scene from BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
“Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the shit beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.“ (2004, JAKE GYLLENHAAL) “Late in the afternoon, thunder growling, that same old green pickup rolled in and he saw Jack get out of the truck, beat-up Resistol tilted back. A hot jolt scalded Ennis and he was out on the landing pulling the door closed behind him. Jack took the stairs two and two. They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying son of a bitch, son of a bitch; then, and as easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard, Jack’s big teeth bringing blood, his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling, and the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis’s straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other’s toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, ‘Little darlin.’” (1997, ANNIE PROULX) ENNIS: Jack fuckin’ Twist! JACK: Son of a bitch. (2005, LARRY MCMURTRY AND DIANA OSSANA)
Hello internet user whose entire concept of feminism comes from tiktok. In front of you are three ancient myths about women. You have five minutes to figure out which one of them was made up in the 1970s. If you choose wrong, you will be ripped to pieces by Maenads.
Okay since everyone wants the test, instead of giving you three myths here’s several myths. One of them is a real Greek myth with sources of it from ancient times and the rest of them are fake. One of the misconceptions was specifically invented in the 70s.
1. In every version of the myth, Medusa is born a human and Athena turns her into a monster
2. Hestia, goddess of the hearth and family, willingly gave up her place as the 12th Olympian to make room for Dionysus
3. Persephone chose Hades and wandered into the underworld of her own free will
4. Pandora didn’t know what was in her jar and unleashed evils on humanity by accident
5. During the voyage of the Argonauts the huntress Atalanta beat the hero Peleus the father of Achilles in a wrestling match
6. King Midas of Phrygia decided to give up his golden touch after turning his daughter to gold
7. Aphrodite was widely worshipped as a war goddess in Greece
lmao I promise you that only one of these is real.
Hiding the answers under a cut in case you wanna guess on your own.
#5 is the real one. You can find a reference to Atalanta wrestling Peleus at funeral games while on the journey of the Argo in The Library by Pseudo-Apollodorus.
This is an artistic depiction of the event from a piece of pottery currently being held in Staatlishe Museum Berlin.
The one invented in the 1970s was the one about Persephone going down to the underworld herself. This was invented by Charlene Spretnak in her book Lost Goddesses of Early Greece and is often spread falsely as a real myth without crediting her.
Explanations for all of them, again under a cut.
Ovid invented the version where Medusa was originally a woman and Ovid hated most of the gods on principle. Also, he was Roman. The earliest versions of gorgon myths depict her and her sisters as being born as monsters.
There's no reference in ancient mythology to Hestia giving up her spot. In some regions she was one of the 12 Olympians, and in others Dionysus was on the list instead. The idea that she stepped down was invented by modern writers who like to have coherent logic in their stories.
Explained above. A bit of creative writing.
Pandora according to Hesiod was the first woman and perfectly aware of what was in her jar. She was created as part of the punishment for mankind. Human women didn't exist before Pandora according to Hesiod. But because Hesiod was misogynistic even by ancient Greek standards, writers and artists after the ancient Greek religion died out re-characterized her as stupid and curious rather than evil.
5. As explained above, real.
6. This version was invented by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the original myth, Midas just got hungry. No Daughter involved.
7. Aphrodite was worshiped as a war goddess mostly in Sparta and sort of Rome as Venus. Most Greeks weren't comfortable culturally with the idea of a goddess of love also being a goddess of war so in most of Greece she was just a goddess of love.

I’ve been obsessed with this for like 20 straight hours now
So if anyone is curious this is more or less true. (Except he didn’t say ‘effeminate boys’ he said the six-letter f word, because of course.) https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jan/16/what-orson-welles-really-thought-about-ernest-hemingway
But the funny thing is, this happened when Orson Welles was 22 (before he made any of his films) so this dumb-ass piece of shit:
decided to get into it with this 38 year old established American writer and war veteran:
Like, dude. He really was just like that.
Orson Wells was fully convinced he could fight god and nothing that ever happened in his life could’ve convinced him otherwise

they would've made a master and commander sequel if I'd been there to appear as a ghost in director Peter Weir's room in 2004 to whisper into his ear "Cate Blanchett as Diana Villiers psychologically dismantling Paul Bettany"

25. Do you regret not doing anything?
HMMMM. actually, if I can take a step back from myself, I don't think so??
there are definitely things I didn't do that would've been cool/fulfilling to do, but I think this year was one of the first where I genuinely understood why I wasn't doing something. like, I was planning on going to some things in November, but I got hit with SAD and some accompanying heightened social anxiety pretty hard. the big difference is that I didn't shame myself for being a stupid coward baby for that long, I did the very unsexy process of recognizing that my brain isn't making the right chemical soup right now, so it makes sense that some things are harder. I can do some stuff to make things easier, but it's wrong of me to expect myself to operate at peak efficiency™️.
so yeah, I'm sad that I might've missed out on some stuff that might've been fun, but I don't feel conflicted about it in a way that I would associate with regret, if that makes sense???
41. Did anything happen to you that you were sure wouldn’t change you as a person but it did?
playing ukulele!!! I used to play a few instruments and sing a lot when I was younger, but it kinda dropped slowly out of my life. I'm actually not 100% clear on why I got one, but it's been the instrument that I've clicked with most, and the one that's made me want to learn about music theory and stuff like that so I can understand songs better. it's also made me want to revisit guitar, which I liked, but found a little overwhelming when I played it
but on the human level, playing music and singing almost every day has been really good for me. learning how to play and sing songs that express something important to me is even more cathartic for me than listening to them. I adapt them to how I want them to sound, and I can only hear myself expressing them, which is really cool :)
