All Art Is Quite Useless.

im walking away from omelas do yall want anything

yes on one hand it is not an effective refutation of andrew tate’s ideology to say he has a small dick but on the other hand greta thunberg is 19 years old and literally never wanted to be a public figure and was @ed out of nowhere by a sex pest youtube personality i think she can say whatever she wants. get some perspective

like if i had 1 billion twitter followers or whatever and had had to spend years with right-wing commentators harassing me and making weird sexual comments about me and also getting trotted out to eb ignored at a climate summit every year like a show pony id be fucking killing and eating people at that point

something about sitting in a train station at night waiting for your connecting train feels like floating in time and space. i'm not supposed to stay here

as you might know i am fairly neutral on the matter of retellings and i only watch commercial Feminist Retellings TM from afar because they are not quite the kind of dialogue with the ancient i am interested in, but i Do have an active concern about them, which is that my impression is that they often come from a position of arrogance and unwillingness to listen to what the ancient has to say. the core assumption is that the ancient has nothing more to say as it is. the core assumption is that ancient stories about ancient women need to be reworded, reframed, transformed for us to be able to connect with them. that horror and violence have no place in these stories. as if the modern world didn’t know any helen, any persephone, any philomela and procne, any arethusa, any cyane and so on. engaging with the ancient means picking up a millennia-long thread. if you cut it, you are either doing something revolutionary or something deeply meaningless.

I go to the bookstore. There is yet another greek myth retelling about a woman scorned. I leave
