A.S Byattâs books got a cover redesign and look how pretty
Because sometimes we all just need to see a guy head-bump a beautiful Beluga whale
Note: that is not a lumberjack!!! Most likely it is a domesticated marine biologist, possibly a domesticated fisherman, (you can tell because it has been clothed in wool, which stays warm when wet, so it is is clearly well cared for).
While this may be appropriate enrichment for your DOMESTICATED and WELL TRAINED marine biologist or fisherman, please remember that lumberjacks may be tame, but are not domesticated. They are still wild, and they absolutely will freak out if they see you swimming around in their forests.
did you write this notice for the belugas or
Who else would I write it for? Itâs not like orcas care about ethical wildlife photography.

recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours
My daily stuff stays in my desk drawer, because I eat breakfast at my desk. The random stuff like cold meds and ibuprophen stays on the shelves just outside the bathroom since there's built in storage there and no medicine cabinet in the actual bathroom.
Scattered through my house like a chronic illness bread crumb trail of exhaustion and "any flat surface will do."
Morning meds/vitamins/supplements in the kitchen on a magnetic shelf stuck to the side of the fridge, evening meds/supplements in a basket on a shelf in the bathroom. Iâm always in the kitchen in the mornings, and the bathroom is always my last stop before bed, so I almost never miss a dose.
I did grow up with meds in the kitchen cabinet next to the glasses and cups, tho. Still kind of baffling to me. Like, right there with your dishes???

Adult friendships be like âI miss you bro, let's hang out in November"
âAnd so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.â
âand all i loved, i loved alone.â
Edgar Allan Poe
I am 100% convinced that âexit, pursued by a bearâ is a reference to some popular 1590s meme that weâll never be able to understand because that one play is the only surviving example of it.
Seriously, weâll never figure it out. Iâll wager trying to understand âexit, pursued by a bearâ with the text of The Winterâs Tale as our primary source is like trying to understand loss.jpg when all you have access to is a single overcompressed JPEG of a third-generation memetic mutation that mashes it up with YMCA and âgunâ - thereâs this whole twitching Frankensteinian mass of cultural context we just donât have any way of getting at.
no, but this is why people do the boring archival work! because we think we do know why âexit, pursued by a bearâ exists, now, and we figured it out by looking at ships manifests of the era -
itâs also why there was a revival of the unattributed and at the time probably rather out of fashion mucedorus at the globe in 1610 (the same year as the winterâs tale), and why ben jonson wrote a chariot pulled by bears into his court masque oberon, performed on new yearâs day of 1611.
we think the answer is polar bears.
no, seriously! Â in late 1609 the explorer jonas poole captured two polar bear cubs in greenland and brought them home to england, where they were purchased by the beargarden, the go-to place in elizabethan london for bear-baiting and other âanimal sports.â Â it was at the time run by edward alleyn (yes, the actor) and his father-in-law philip henslowe (him of the admiralâs men and that diary we are all so very grateful for), and would have been very close, if not next to, the globe theatre.
of course, polar bear cubs are too little and adorable for baiting, even to the bloodthirsty tudor audience, arenât they? Â so, what to do with the little bundles of fur until theyâre too big to be harmless? Â well, if thereâs anything we know about the playwrights and theatre professionals of the time, itâs that they knew how to make money and draw in audiences. Â and the spectacle of a too-small-to-be-dangerous-yet-but-still-real-live-and-totally-WHITE-bear? Â what good entertainment businessman is going to turn down that opportunity?Â
and, voila, we have a death-by-bear for the unfortunate antigonus, thereby freeing up paulina to be coupled off with camillo in the final scene, just as the comedic conventions of the time would expect.
youâre telling me it was an ACTUAL BEAR
every time I think to myself âhistory canât possibly get any more bananasâ I realize or am made to realize that I am badly mistaken
Not just an actual bear. A polar bear cub.
Imagine a fully grown man running offstage to be âkilledâ by a baby polar bear.
exit, pursued by bear. i.e. THE BEST STAGE DIRECTION OF ALL FUCKING TIME
[Image description: an animated GIF of a tiny baby polar bear and their human keeper. The human places the bear cub on the floor and it waddles, very unsteadily toward the camera. Description ends]
This post has lived in my head since it was first posted almost 5 years ago.
The thing is: for modern audiences and theater producers The Winterâs Tale is something of a mess. Because most of the action immediately after âExit, Pursued by bearâ is a harvest/shepherdâs feast, with the guests breaking into random songs, and then stopping to watch a troupe of dancers perform, rinse and repeat, for a full half hour or so, and doesnât seem to do much to move the story forward at all.
But Shakespeare wasnât writing the play for us. He was writing for an audience with a whole bunch of people who didnât usually go to hear a play, and only showed up to catch a glimpse of this bear everyoneâs been talking about. That moment happens in the middle of the story. So how do you keep a whole chunk of the audience from leaving, after the cute white fluff ball has waddled his way across the stage?
You give them a musical concert and acrobat show â get them singing along to favorite songs they already know, get them to feel like theyâre actually guests at a real feast, instead of just watching one. And then, at the height of the fun, when everyoneâs laughing and having a grand olâ time, you bring the plot back, and threaten the young heroine and her family with death by hanging.
Brilliant audience wrangling, if you ask me.
If I were going to do a revival/retelling, I might make it a Space Opera, and instead of a polar bear, promise a spectacle of a Jim Henson Workshop monster. And turn the shepherdâs feast scene into a rock concert with wild dancing and songs. I donât know enough about current music to know who Iâd try to get as Autolycus (pickpocket and song-leader at the party) though.
