Honestly I should just spend my day shopping for vintage jackets again, I haven't done that in awhile even tho I can't afford shit without a job.

I'm extremely happy with the two leather jackets I picked up a couple years ago- I get to live both my best mid 90s spy life and post punk bad bitch life (currently decked out with two B-T pins, one from 1990, and a shinjuku loft drink token I found in my pocket lmaooo but honestly I need more pins) and that makes me extremely happy.

But there is *always* room in the closet for More Jackets. 😐

I woke up with a lot of fucking opinions this morning. I feel like a lot of information was downloaded into my brain over night. And considering I do not need to be talking about any of it mostly because I'm screaming mad about parts of it I will be trying to stay out of relevant discussions today. Apologies for anyone waiting on replies, I'll try to get back tomorrow. 💗

Being a flop changed my life. The world is not my oyster, I am glowing. I walked into a pole this morning. There's very little I wouldn't do for $1,000

Thinking about Agamemnon sacrificing his teenage daughter in order to go to war. Thinking about Odysseus trying to avoid going to war but when the choice was to kill his infant son or to go to war he chose the war. Thinking about how upon the death of Achilles, Odysseus recruited Achilles's teenage son Neoptolemus to join the war. About Odysseus or sometimes it's Neoptolemus throwing Hector's infant son off the battlements to his death. About Achilles's ghost demanding the sacrifice of Hecuba's daughter Polyxena before the Greeks can sail home from Troy and when Hecuba begged Odysseus to spare Polyxena he said no, I want to go home, we're going to kill her. Thinking about how the only one of the Greek generals opposing Polyxena's sacrifice was Agamemnon. How Odysseus never wanted to be here but he will inflict the pain he wanted to avoid on others out of his duty to the other Greek soldiers. How Agamemnon, leader of the Greek soldiers, is so, so tired of sacrificing children to this war. How it happens anyway.

Mmmm stick stuck in my head this one. Idk why I love the BT songs that specifically sound like the panic attacks I used to have but 🤣

I want to translate this one for the blog next, I think, except this was one of the few albums I couldn't find in October which kind of broke my heart, so I wouldn't be able to post the lyrics page for them. Also the translation in this video is pretty much spot on and there's not a lot I can improve on I think (two tiny things only come to mind that they missed, others come down probably to stylistic choices) which is honestly rare for yt sub videos because usually they are Not Great! But yeah, kudos to whoever translated this one I think, but I still have the urge to put my grubby little hands all over the words and pick them apart piece by piece so I'll do it anyway. 😂

Oh the grief is really hitting today....I think I'm mostly just nervous about tomorrow so it's making me more susceptible to The Feels, but jeez man.....
