can we get anne carson on hot ones
ANNE CARSON: The Hot Ones could be the name of a tragedy. Imagine that chorus. Chewing on spiced wings so their tears streamed down the masks and fell to the ground. If a tragic actor was crying from eating hot wings how would you know? The mask doesn't tell you. Only if he cried OTOTOTOI POPOI DA but that is his text. No dividing what is pain from what is pain. According to Aulus Gellius, the actor Polus used the urn that held his son's bones and ashes onstage. He was using grief to play grief. It does away with the problem of feigning. You can't feign spice either. Either your eyes water and you retch or you don't.

harlots greatest tv show of all time that approximately three (3) people watched. including me
harlots might be my roman empire. every time i watch a costume drama that tries to put a cheap ""feminist" twist on some historical subject i wish i was watching harlots instead. the emphasis on working class women instead of aristocrats???? the representation that is actually faithful and not lobotomised???? the fleshed out complex relationships between women??? and to top it all off the costumes being stunningly gorgeous??? we dont deserve her
also just to be clear, my issue is not with adaptations that subscribe to/suggest a feminist reading of history. my issue is with reinterpretations of events along the lines of Cleopatra was the Original Girlboss or Marie Antoinette was #justagirl.
basically i think that at best this cheapens the story and at worst grossly misrepresents history in order to fit a plastic feminist marketting template. there are so many ways to tell these stories with nuance and of course to address the way patriarchy has shaped the lives of women across time so WHY do we keep getting costume dramas about war criminals and colonisers where the tagline is "the men of her time just werent ready to see a girlboss win 😔"
a "hebrew" is a drink for men

The Philosopher
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
And what are you that, wanting you, I should be kept awake As many nights as there are days With weeping for your sake?
And what are you that, missing you, As many days as crawl I should be listening to the wind And looking at the wall?
I know a man that's a braver man And twenty men as kind, And what are you, that you should be The one man on my mind?
Yet women's ways are witless ways, As any sage will tell, -- And what am I, that I should love So wisely and so well?
They introduced a roaming minotaur to my local public library which really adds a lot of fear to the whole place
this joke is NOT public library tech approved. we would never get funding approved for an additional regular guy to roam the library, let alone the physical manifestation of the Gods' distain for King Minos!

couples costume idea: signifier and signified
It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society
a question for my fellow bi/multilingual grammarians
on this quote by philosopher Bayo Akomolafe:
“what we rudely call ‘nature’ today does not even have a name in
Yoruba culture because there was no distinction between us and
the goings-on around us. […] mountains could be consulted, trees
could have privileges…”
do you consider your native language to make a meaningful distinction between the natural world and the human?
my native language is so small that if I named it I'd be doxxing myself (because I'm named in some of the only english language resources on it) but I think the biggest semantic divide we have is between "village" and our terms for other places like forests, oceans etc.
id love to hear takes from other minority languages on this point!
Hey so I have a library question.
If my local library doesn't have a book, and I want that book. Can I approach the library with book money and offer to buy it for them then check it out and read it? Like is this a common thing? Will they just stare at me dumbly then make me explain that I have run out of room for books in my life and I really only plan to read the book the once anyways?
Can I do this with other types of media?
Is this burdensome to the library in anyway?
reblogging my answer in case anyone else finds this useful - YES !!
please do ask us if we can order books in for you because 99% of the time we can and want to. we might struggle to source things that are limited print like indie magazines etc but we won't be mad at you for asking!
you dont need to offer your local library any money though. the point of the service is that its free :)
one thing you maybe shouldnt do is insist that the public library service purchases your self published vladimir putin self insert erotica. as much as i admire advocating for your work, there are some things the general reading public isnt ready for. anyway she ended up kicking off because i said our bibs team wouldnt consider buying it as its only available on amazon (we only acquire new books through a few specific partnered services).
as long as you avoid that sort of request i expect your local library team would be happy to hear from you!
Thank you very much, as a follow up are baked goods/ sweets/ snacks appreciated by librarians? If they're going to get me a book I would like to get them... something
in most cases absolutely!!
our jobs are to provide a free service funded by the your taxes and grants from the govt. and purchase requests are a common service we provide so you wouldnt be putting anyone out of their way at all!
so nobody would be expecting anything but im sure baked goods would be appreciated + venerated in the staff room.
some places *might* have policies against it (because the general public can be odd in some areas) but this usually isnt the case :)

every once in a while you'll be reading pliny the elder and he casually drops a mention of baby zoroaster having psionic powers because his brain was so huge
bollocks i did this as well its not hard
“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
