I am Julia. Be warned that this is a part-time archaeology blog and as such I reblog lots of spooky skeletons, some of them real.

it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows

that said you will not hear me complaining about the rain here ever. i love it so much and whenever people are like “ugh i mostly love it here but the rain 😩 if it rained less it would be perfect” i���m like not to be blunt but you sought work in a rainforest and then saved up money to move to a rainforest and then you looked for apartments in a rainforest and then you put down a $3,500 deposit in a rainforest and then you drove 1500 miles to get to the rainforest. and yeah it’s raining. if it rained less it would be an ecological disaster in fact

For years I’ve thought, if joy was a person, it would be Gavin Creel singing Put On Your Sunday Clothes in Hello, Dolly
What a wonderful talent gone way too soon

I know that Peter’s Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy technically has flaws but also….it doesn’t. It’s perfect.

I have a theory... and this is just like, conjecture! I'm not an anthropologist and I haven't done or read any studies or anything... I think the way our culture seems increasingly enthusiastic about ritualistic seasonal consumerism (the pumpkin spice lattes and aesthetic Gilmore Girls binges of Fall, for example) is that our lives are increasingly devoid of the rhythm of traditions historically provided by a common religion or societies organized around agrarian cycles. I think that as humans, we crave cyclical time-organization (each season is both new and exciting, yet comfortingly familiar) and social connection, but our society no longer naturally provides that. Most people are completely disconnected from the agricultural cycle, and with globalization and refrigeration, foods that were once highly seasonal are increasingly available year-round (convenient! Yet boring!). Harvesting and food production is no longer a communal activity, but yet another specialized commodity provided by a few professionals. So, what can we do to mark the passage of time? How do we connect with each other and keep from just drifting aimlessly? We buy stuff and consume media! This is increasingly all we have left.
