“It’s summer now, and you’re craving a simpler existence. You want to read. You want to write. You want to meet strangers for dinner, and not refuse another drink at another bar. You want to dance. You want to find yourself in a basement, neck loose, bobbing your head as a group of musicians play, not because they should, but because they must. It’s summer now, and you’re looking forward to worrying less. You’re looking forward to longer nights and shorter days. You’re looking forward to gathering in back gardens and watching meat sputter on an open barbecue. You’re looking forward to laughing so hard your chest hurts and you feel light-headed. You’re looking forward to the safety in pleasure. You’re looking forward to forgetting, albeit briefly, the existential dread which plagues you, which tightens your chest, which pains your left side. You’re looking forward to forgetting that, leaving the house, you might not return intact. You’re looking forward to freedom, even if it is short, even if it might not last. You’re looking forward.”

— Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

obsessed with the way that zopilote machine has no track listing. anywhere. the back of the cd case just says "kid you fell in the milk". the booklet is mostly latin

@catilinas HOLD ON. THATS what that means??? Wait wait please explain

the orphic gold tablets are these 4th century bcs tiny sheets of gold leaf found in burials, inscribed in greek with Mysterious Instructions for navigating the underworld?? becoming immortal?? reincarnation?? unfortunately the texts themselves are all scholars have to go on and they are super cryptic. no-one really knows what's going on with them. but several of them mention the 'kid falling into milk' image. i was thinking of this one (translation by sarah iles johnston):

if you want to know more i recommend the book 'ritual texts for the afterlife: orpheus and the bacchic gold tablets' by fritz graf and sarah iles johnston :-)

@dahniwitchoflight coming at us with some BANGER theories in the comments

[[Screenshot ID:

1- catilinas' tumblr tags, saying: I don't listen to The Moutain Goats but "Kid you fell into the milk???" As in, "You have become a god instead of a mortal. A kid you fell into the milk." from the orphic gold tablets?? Like the orphic ritual texts for the afterlife?? Actually, yeah, that tracks with everything I know about TMG.

2- ID in alt

3- Tumblr replies from daniwitchoflight, saying: I think what's being missed here is the phrase "falling into milk" back in the old days was like coming into milk, the kid here is a baby goat, a kid falling into milk was a young baby goat suddenly becoming full of milk and miraculously able to provide, not like, a human child falling into a bucket of milk literally lmao. That's why it's paired with become divine instead of mortal, the word of falling into milk implies it happened suddenly rather than gently coming into. Also why it's paired with the idea of coming into sufferings you haven't experienced before, a transformation that's sudden and possibly painful, a mortal becoming divine, a baby goat suddenly pregnant and producing milk.

I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written

in the beginning, the trump assassination attempts were spaced by twenty four weeks. then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. the last one, at the white house, was a week. in four days we could be seeing a trump assassination attempt every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. we should witness a double event within seven days,
