i feel like something we don’t talk about nearly enough is that the quote “if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known” is from a new york times opinion piece and the context of it being written was that a man emailed all his coworkers photos of a herd of goats he had rented and got sad when one of them accidentally cc’d him back “oof”

[lawyer voice] mothers and fuckers of the jury-

Why does everyone say that they played someone ‘like a fiddle’? Fiddles are actually pretty difficult to play? Why not say ‘I played him like a recorder’? ‘Like a xylophone’? ‘Like a triangle’?

I think it’s got to do with detail and subtlety. If you play someone like a fiddle, that’s like, Iago or some shit. If you play someone like a triangle, you just told them there was free food somewhere when there wasn’t.

Writing that one down for future use tbh

wow the Carousel revival looks awesome guys
