When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"

When the Good Place said "Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also 'Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

canthaveshitingotham-crucified

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

these exchanges and this fiddling about for the collective to appreciate in passing is, to me, true artistic spirit. I don't know what the past was truly like to live, but in my heart i know that humans have always been... like this

Dragon Bones by artist Stefan Koidl.

[Image description: a closeup of an artwork, and the full artwork. It’s a photorealistic painting of a person in a rowboat, seen from above, rowing over intensely blue water that starts out shallow but deepens, in which are the bones of a massive winged dragon. The boat is about the size of its head sans horns.]

OP of the original post turned off reblogs but as of 3 hours ago 3/3/24 Deux Face is still alive and doing well!! According to the farm's Facebook she is starting to try to stand and getting better at holding up her head. The farm has been very clear that they're going to care for her and do their best to meet her needs, they are not planning to sell her or show her off to the media. They also haven't mentioned any other noticeable deformities inside or out and have noted that both heads connect at the same throat, and she's lived for about 5.5 days at this point which is shockingly long for an animal with this level of deformities. Go Deux Face!

Deux Face update 3/6!!

She is continuing to make "very slow but positive progress" to stand, managing to stand for a couple seconds a few times since the last update.

They also confirmed some fun facts: she breathes out of both noses at once and can see with all four eyes! There really are twice as many stars for little Deux Face.

Plus some new photos released by her farm :)

[Two images of a brown and white mottled calf lying on the ground. I has two muzzles and one skull. It has 4 eyes with the two centre ones close together.

The text following the images reads,

two-faced calf born on february 28th on breaux farm in louisiana: "This morning 2/28 we woke up to our normal routine of work and school. Checking on the cow that was in labor, we found that she had her calf successfully but with a 1 in 400million chance, she had a calf with two faces. We know this calf will have a short life span and will most likely only live a few days. She has beaten a lot of odds by being born alive and currently still alive at least 14hrs after birth. We have named this calf Deux Face, French for two face." as of today, march 1st, she is still alive and doing well.

A set of tags reading:

#per the farm's facebook #as of 10 hours ago she was still alive and as well as can be expected #she can nurse from either side #(there's a video - whichever mouth she isn't using still does the motions) #she's able to eliminate #she can't stand independently but they've got a sling for her so she can be upright #and she doesn't appear to be in any pain or distress #that's about as good welfare-wise as you can hope for #and to boot it sure looks like she's got four complete and functional eyes #so you know #something something twice as many stars

An image of Deux Face in her sling, legs still twisted as she tries to figure them out.

Two images of the cow resting on a black mat. In one her faces are resting on a extra, smaller mat.

A set of tags reading:

#cow #mutations #tw body horror #just in case? #i hope she makes it to be a healthy adult and gets to see all the stars the other calf only saw for a night

Another set of tags, these reading:

#"tomorrow the farm boys will wrap the calf in newspaper and deliver it's body to the museum" #no. tomorrow they will build the calf a sling #so she can almost stand #they will pet her foreheads and make sure she is fed #tomorrow they will sit with her in the barn #check which eyes she can see from #(all of them) #check that she is breathing alright #that nothing is wrong enough to kill her #tomorrow they will love her. #and tomorrow they will love her. #and tomorrow and tomorrow and the tomorrow after that #and there will be twice as many stars as usual #but the stars do not compare to fingers stroking across her back #to the hands that help her upright ever so slowly #to the love she will know until she dies

Someone today will read Shakespeare’s hamlet and say omg he’s just like me fr. Another person will read moby dick and proclaim Ishmael as an adhd king.

A person grieving for their recently deceased lover reads the iliad and they watch as Achilles rages and rages and god how righteous anger fueld by love is so devastating that it’s ramifications still affect the world several thousand years later.

We might one day settle down and read the epic of gilgamesh and watch as a king has to accept the death of the person he loved the most. One of the very first stories ever written and it was about coping with death, and how to grieve.

We don’t read classics because they’re old, we read them because they remind us that we are never alone. That a character created over 500 years ago struggled with the exact same problems we all still have today. That even a king from centuries past had to deal with death just like me. That’s what makes stories so powerful–they prove to us that we are never truly alone in what we are feeling.
