NIGHT LAND

When nothing but ash covers the daylight, you know things are really bad. As a young couple flee in their car, we, the audience, start to piece together what is happening and also, what's lurking in the dark to get them! The production design and camera work, really help build cool visuals here.

Urlaubs- und Unaufmerksamkeitsbedingt haben wir leichtfertig Carol Burnetts 90. Geburtstag (am 26. April) unbemerkt verstreichen lassen, dabei hätte dieser doch einen hervorragenden Vorwand geboten, die herausragende Märchenverfilmung unserer Zeit Once Upon a Mattress einmal wieder anzuschauen. Wir haben das aber sofort, nachdem wir unser Versäumnis bemerkt haben, nachgeholt und leiden nun wieder am “happily, happily, happily ever after”-Ohrwurm.

Let’s Have a Real Conversation About Barbara Walters Seventeen leading broadcasters on her legacy and making their way in the world she made. https://www.thecut.com/article/barbara-walters-legacy.html

[thorraborinn]

hello there! today i came across a claim that sort of baffled me. someone said that they believed the historical norse heathens viewed their own myths literally. i was under the impression that the vast majority of sources we have are christian sources, so it seems pretty hard to back that up. is there any actual basis for this claim? thanks in advance for your time!

Sorry for the delay, I've been real busy lately and haven't been home much. Even after making you wait I'm still going to give a copout answer.

I think the most basic actual answer is that it's doubtful that someone has a strong basis to make that claim, and the same would probably go for someone claiming they didn't take things literally. I think we just don't know, and most likely, it was mixed-up bits of both literal and non-literal belief, and which parts were literal and which parts weren't varied from person to person. We have no reason so suppose that there was any compulsion to believe things in any particular way.

About Christians being the interlocutors of a lot of mythology, this is really a whole separate question. On one hand there's the question of whether they took their myths literally, and on the other is entirely different question about whether or not we can know what those myths were. Source criticism in Norse mythology is a pretty complicated topic but the academic consensus is definitely that there are things we can know for sure about Norse myth, and a lot more that we can make arguments for. For instance the myth of Thor fishing for Miðgarðsormr is attested many times, not only by Snorri but by pagan skálds and in art. Myths of the Pagan North by Christopher Abram is a good work about source criticism in Norse mythology.

Though this raises another point, because the myth of Thor fishing is not always the same. Just like how we have a myth of Thor's hammer being made by dwarves, and a reference to a different myth where it came out of the sea. Most likely, medieval Norse people were encountering contradictory information in different performances of myth all the time. So while that leaves room for at least some literal belief, it couldn't be a rigid, all-encompassing systematic treatment of all myth as literal. We have good reason to believe they changed myths on purpose and that it wasn't just memory errors.

I know you're really asking whether this one person has any grounds for their statement, and I've already answered that I don't think they do. But this is an interesting thought so I'm going to keep poking at it. I'm not sure that I'm really prepared to discuss this properly, but my feeling is that this is somehow the wrong question. I don't know how to explain this with reference to myth, so I'm going to make a digression, and hope that you get the vibe of what I'm getting at by analogy. Edward Burnett Tylor (1832–1917) described animism in terms of beliefs, "belief in spiritual beings," i.e. a belief that everything (or at least many things) has a soul or spirit. But this is entirely contradicted by later anthropology. Here's an except from Pantheologies by Mary Jane Rubenstein, p. 93:

their animacy is not a matter of belief but rather of relation; to affirm that this tree, that river, or the-bear-looking-at-me is a person is to affirm its capacity to interact with me—and mine with it. As Tim Ingold phrases the matter, “we are dealing here not with a way of believing about the world, but with a condition of living in it.”

In other words, "belief" doesn't even really play into it, whether or not you "believe" in the bear staring you down is nonsensical, and if you can be in relation with a tree then the same goes for that relationality; "believing" in it is totally irrelevant or at least secondary. Myths are of course very different and we can't do a direct comparison here, but I have a feeling that the discussion of literal versus nonliteral would be just as secondary to whatever kind of value the myths had.

One last thing I want to point out is that they obviously had the capacity to interpret things through allegory and metaphor because they did that frequently. This is most obvious in dream interpretations in the sagas. Those dreams usually convey true, prophetic information, but it has to be interpreted by wise people who are skilled at symbolic interpretation. I they ever did this with myths, I'm not aware of any trace they left of that, but we can at least be sure that there was nothing about the medieval Norse mind that confined it to literalism.

For multiple reasons this is not an actual answer but it's basically obligatory to mention that some sagas, especially legendary or chivalric sagas, were referred to in Old Norse as lygisögur, literally 'lie-sagas' (though not pejoratively and probably best translated just as 'fictional sagas'). We know this mostly because Sverrir Sigurðsson was a big fan of lygisögur. But this comes from way too late a date to be useful for your question.

[senlinyu]

Hey Sen, do you find any classical literature has had any impact on you? I know you were inspired by wuthering heights, but was there anything else that peaked your inspiration?

A lot of my reading growing up was Victorian and Edwardian. I didn't have much access to contemporary literature. Most of my childhood books were the books from my parent's childhood in the 50's and 60's. So I was very passionate about mythology, especially Greek, because it was the most scandalous thing I could get my hands on.

Once I was older than ten, I mostly read things like Doyle, Dickens, Alcott, Montgomery, Burnett, Aldrich, Porter, Wilde (I'm not sure how he snuck in), Christie. In my teens, I was allowed read the Bronte's and Austen because I was old enough to 'appreciate them' according to my mother (however Shakespeare was a potentially dubious influence so I was only permitted limited quantities).

I used reread all those authors a lot because I simply didn't have much access to other books. And my parents had very conservative religious ideas about fantasy unless it was a religious allegory or had christian undertones ( eg Lewis and Tolkien only).

Because of that, my literary knowledge comes from a sideways angle because what I did have access to was literary analysis and studies on literary tradition and history since my parents liked to collect very pretentious looking academic anthologies and keep them as decor in our living room. But I would read them even though I didn't necessarily have access to the works of literature they were about.

I personally have always found it fascinating to follow the evolution of things, like language or literary tradition or culture or etiquette back to it's source to see how it shifted and the impact it had. It made me think about writing and reading in very different ways I suspect, so a lot of my inspiration comes from my pleasure in the concept and traditions of writing and story-craft, themes and metaphors, rather than a specific primary source.

It’s written by Andrew Lippa and he mucks up the plot really bad but it’s objectively an ok show. I want to play Miss Minchin in it soooo bad. Carnally. If you want to read a 38-slide-long pdf I made about a little princess, the secret garden, and Christianity (veggietales) literally just ask I will tag you in the post with it faster than you can blink!!! I have like a billion thoughts about A Little Princess and frankly, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s work as a whole, so if you ever need anything. I am always lurking in the shadows ready to write paragraphs about it.

literally always.

Interestingggg and YES i want those 38 slides PLEASE

Hiiii kazoo! A, S and T for the A to Z bookish review

Thankyou!!

A. Author You’ve Read The Most Books From

I think that would be Frances Hodgson Burnett! I've read at least fifteen of her works 🤍 A close second is Rick Riordan; right now I'm working on my fifteenth of his books (not counting graphic novels, which I've read one of!)

S. Series You Started and Need to Finish

Trials of Apollo! I'm partway through Burning Maze but I keep getting distracted by Other Things I Want To Do. Also, if fanfic counts, @jessicas-pi 's This Is Fine and Commit To The Bit. Technically those are singular fics and not a series, but I still need to finish them!

T. Three Of Your All-Time Favorite Books

The Shuttle, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 1000000/10 stars, I could talk about this one for YEARS! The parallels, narrative foils, plot twists, love (both romantic and familial!) and character arcs mean EVERYTHING to me!!!!!

So You're Single, by Edith Margaret Clarkson. It's a book written by an older single Christian lady about how being single isn't a burden, and I'm a huge fan of the way that she describes the journey of singleness! There's a LOT of quotes from it that have been suuuuuuper helpful to me!

The Silver Chair, by C.S. Lewis. This one's my favorite Narnia book, and I just love how it focuses on Eustace's journey a little more. He's one of my favorite characters from Narnia, and that sounds REALLY weird if all you've seen is the movies and never read the books. I also really like Jill and Puddleglum in it!

thanks for the asks!

The FLiRT variants are offshoots of JN.1, which was the dominant variant in the U.S. this past winter.

This family of variants appears to be very contagious, thanks to mutations in the spike protein that may improve the virus’s ability to bind to human cells. “When we look at their molecular profile, some of those mutations potentially could allow the [virus] to escape from previous immunity,” Hopkins explained.

According to Dr. Nikhil Bhayani, an assistant professor in the department of internal medicine at the Burnett School of Medicine at Texas Christian University, one variant in particular is gaining steam right now: KP.3. It’s currently responsible for roughly 25% of cases.

Two other variants in the FLiRT family, KP.2 and KP.1.1, make up 22.5% and 7.5% of infections, respectively. Research from Japan found that KP.2, the dominant variant this past spring, was more transmissible than its predecessors and potentially better at outsmarting our vaccines.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like the illness will be any different with the FLiRT variants, according to Hopkins. He suspects they’ll trigger the typical COVID symptoms: Fever, cough, congestion, sore throat, body aches and, though less common these days, loss of taste and smell.

The increase in cases also doesn’t appear to be causing an uptick in hospitalizations. “There’s no evidence they’re more severe than what we’ve been dealing with,” Hopkins said.
