You know how when a friend ditches their trashy partner you bond by letting rip about how shitty they were?
Yo Byron literally wrote a bros before hoes poem when a friend was having problems with his mistress and then within a month they got back together and Byron had to write another poem being all “oh my bad, she’s great. You’re still a fool but she’s great” 😂 (also managed to get a line into both poems about how much of a player he was)
We are all just disasters tumbling through history!
Do you think they realize how much cooler that makes it sound?
Like. I'm not even an apotheosis type of guy. But you do know that makes it sound so much cooler right?

Mom sent me a facebook link to a PBS news hour post about how the anti-lawn movement is growing. The vast majority of the comments on it were stuff like this:
Most people are on our side here, even the so-called "boomers." We just have to be spreading ecological knowledge and practical means of creating useful habitat in back yards! Educate! Protect! Resist!

Dracula Daily sketch(es) for October 5th.
In which Mina grows worse, the Count makes a daring fashion choice as he flees, and Jonathan makes a promise.
“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”
ok but one thing i love about goncharov is the ironic subversion of themes. like we have katya, the madonna-like character whose white palette screams of loyalty and purity, while andrey is the judas-like character whose motifs are the dagger and the poisoned cup.
but at the end, it’s katya who draws a gun on goncharov, and andrey who’s left holding his bleeding body in his arms. by having the “loyal wife” be the backstabber and the “doublecrosser” be the broken-hearted lover, scorsese subverts both biblical imagery and gender roles, and he does it in such a subtle and poetic way too, without taking away the complexity of either character.
