cladistically included but traditionally excluded

Just letting everyone know I’m reading a book right now. I also drank 7 glasses of water yesterday. Im not saying explicitly that I’m a better person than you, but it is heavily heavily implied. Heaven is going to be awesome!

So much of understanding myth is about placing myths in historical context and understanding textual history. Hesiod and Ovid are writing 700 years apart, and that matters. Chretien de Troyes is a Frenchman writing about Welsh mythology, and that matters. The Poetic Edda is a collection of older poems with their own individual histories, and that matters. Why can’t I just get the story of the One True Version of What Actually Happened beamed directly into my brain without having to grapple with the people who wrote and interpreted and transmitted these stories that shaped and were shaped by the cultures in which they existed?

every fleetwood mac documentary i've ever watched is like "the band was at the height of their success, enjoying the fame rolling in from their #1 hit 'i know about the other woman, lindsey'. however, nobody could have sensed the tension brewing between members."

"the group initially disbanded immediately after the release of the single 'well get the fuck out if you're going to be like that', leaving thousands of fans shocked."

An even funnier thing is knowing that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham lived in an apartment with Warren Zevon in the early 70s as well, because if there's one single thing that could have made that living situation more toxic, it's adding Warren Fucking Zevon into the mix. I really don't know who I feel the most sorry for.
