Anton Chekhov, "after the theatre"
Reblog to kill it faster
I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.
For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.
When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.
Playing Disco Elysium gives you a mental illness that makes you go "aaaaww so cutee" at drawings of balding middle-aged men
just finished "carol and the end of the world" -- leave it to netflix to drop one of the year's best shows right at the tail-end of said year. a very poignant, melancholic, powerful show about coming together to build a community and overcoming yourself even in the most dire circumstances. watch it immediately
