Byrhtferth's Diagram of the Microcosm and Macrocosm. Makers of science. 1923.

An 11th century monk attempted to show a correspondence between everything in the universe. That a fourfold structure underlies nature, time, the human body, and the cosmos.

The four elements — Earth, Fire, Water, Air

The four cardinal directions — East, North, South, West

The four seasons — Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring

The four solstices and equinoxes

The four qualities — hot, cold, wet, dry

The four winds

Various zodiac signs and months along the outer rings

I blog for those who feel too much but say too little.

I was thinking. Let’s say I’m a mad scientist who took a bunch of corpses from the graveyard and tore them apart to get what pieces I needed for the monster I’m making. Does the quantity of pieces I got from a specific gender dictate my monster’s gender, or does the gender-specific organs I give my monster dictate it? If every piece came from women except the reproductive system, do I have a woman monster or a man monster? Or do I just call my monster an “it” and dehumanize my monster to the point that this question no longer applies?

#frankenstein #gender #philosphy #just thinking aloud #i shall buy my ticket to the arctic #i said i was a mad scientist #not a moral one #i could let the monster choose #but that would require me to talk to my creation #we can’t have that #i am terrified of what i’ve created #mayhaps i shouldn’t have played god

why do i not see traditional like art of people jacking off over things honestly. i think the world needs a michelangelo of a group of guys playing soggy biscuit, like the last supper style
