Detail from the “unswept floor” mosaic made by Heraclitus, showing a mouse eating a walnut. 2nd century CE, now on display at the Vatican Museums.

Imagine trying to clean this floor–or even walk across it–and constantly wondering, “Wait. Is that one REAL?”

You are well within your right to be angry about the help you didn't get and should have gotten.

You are well within your right to be angry about having your needs neglected.

You are well within your right to be angry.

When I say “I love you,” it means that I want to be near the feeling of ambivalence our relation induces and hope that what’s negative, aggressive, or just hard about it doesn’t defeat what’s great about it really—or in my fantasies of it, anyway.

"There's a moment when the light begins to strike things, making them stammer out their shapes and then their successive names, starting out with the very 'thing' that is the beginning. First there's 'something,' and then 'some things'. Exactly like in the Book of Books. There's an infancy of the features of the world, of a day, of any given place."

Anne-Marie Miéville, The Old Place, with Jean-Luc Godard

It would be funny if nuclear waste warning messages become an attraction for future historical linguists.

I mean look at this thing:

A parallel text in 7 languages, with 4 different scripts between them! And pictograms! All designed to be preserved intact!

Hello! Hope you’re doing well.

I was just watching Snow Trail and remembered the incredible Toshiro Mifune video you made 😍 I love it.

Have you read any biography of Mifune that you would recommend?

Hi hello!! First of all, I hope you enjoyed Snow Trail! I always observed it as a western in the mountains sans cowboys, it just has that rush within itself that can only be found in that genre. And thank you for loving the fancam, no matter how many times I hear the praise for it, it means more and more every time <3

As per your question, I haven't read any, sadly, at the time when I was first discovering Mifune and Kurosawa (pandemic), I wasn't exactly reading much. What I can recommend you, though, is this documentary titled Mifune: The Last Samurai. It is very well made and narrated by Keanu Reeves. The book that I've noticed circulating in my Mifune circles is The Emperor And The Wolf: The Lives And Films of Akira Kurosawa And Toshiro Mifune by Stuart Galbraith, but I've yet to read it myself.
