PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE FINE PRINT THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST FOR DECORATION AND IT'S ALL REALLY BORING WE SWEAR
is your job performance suffering due to a persistent desire to lead a fulfilling life? the friendly pharmaceutical companies have developed a solution which they have generously made available for purchase. here watch this drug advertisement we worked so hard on. it shows people free of pain enjoying their day at the office. these are actual patients we cured, not paid actors. questioning this or any statement indicates affiliation with political extremism on both sides and means you're probably a terrorist. maybe even a double terrorist. besides, knowledge is a burden, wouldn't you rather just trust us, the way you do with your health? you should ask your doctor if workmoronal is right for you. workmoronal treats all symptoms related to resistance and/or defense of personal freedoms and can reduce your sense of having a soul in under two weeks. get back to being a productive employee with workmoronal from johnson and johnson. a family company. but not your family. you don't really see them anymore. and you're fine with that. really. by now you're generally ok with whatever the boss decides. another full recovery made possible by workmoronal.
it's really wonderful the way science is helping people lead better lives every day. not people like you though. people like the guy who owns johnson and johnson. who remembers what his family looks like. but he worked hard. he earned what he has. his collection of bank notes proves that he's a better person than you, and this moral superiority has kept him healthy. he didn't need a doctor's help to be a Valuable and Productive Employee. you, however, require a treatment regimen of workmoronal. also you've been asking too many questions and the doctor has diagnosed you with chronic curiosity, which, without treatment, can be fatal (for someone much more important than you). so you've been prescribed two capsules of acceptall, to be taken with booze. this should help slow down your higher brain and reduce symptoms of critical thinking. you may return to work tomorrow. in fact you have to or you'll starve in the street. if you would prefer to use a suicide booth at this time, please see the reception staff to schedule an appointment. patients who miss their appointments will be charged a fee they can't afford. this reflects a society that values keeping one's word. otherwise people might find you unreliable. and that doesn't look very good on a resume.
it would seem that the severity of your case demands a higher level of care. may we suggest our outpatient treatment program to correct confusion surrounding life's purpose? it's the doctor's opinion that you're a good candidate for priority readjustment therapy. this is highly effective and a great opportunity for you. well, no it won't bring you any peace or reduce the psychic impact of the horrors, and it doesn't actually help you feel better in any noticeable way. but we're healthcare providers. that's not what we do here. we are however proud to offer a wide array of pill-shaped solutions to problems. well, not your problems. once again, we refer to the problems of the johnson and johnson guy who gets to see his family. and one of his problems is you. specifically what remains of your humanity and the stubborn way in which you cling to it. workmoronal will make you forget about all that. we have pills that can gut you from the inside and lobotomize you irrevocably until you no longer suffer or despair. you will no longer know love or joy either, but it won't take you long to be desperate enough not to care. they'll make real life so miserable you'll line up to have the spark of your spirit chemically extinguished. you might even be grateful for it. almost everyone is eventually grateful for it. but don't be too hard on yourself. you're only the picked-clean ghostbones of a human, after all. you were such a cooperative patient that even the scavengers got their fill. and everyone has already eaten by the time you realize they never set a place for you at their table. for those born to your station, there are only two options at every meal: you're either the servant or you're what's being served.
#cue greater omaha by desaparecidos lol but no really do it that song rocks#workmoronal is my new favorite joke#i'm finding every opportunity to use it irl and now my friends are saying it#in a clinical trial workmoronal produced a 20 percent increase in willingness to remain a slave#and showed a marked increase in indifference toward trading one's single life on earth away to benefit rich strangers#this unsavory advertisement has been brought to you by the company that owns all the drug companies#(makers of workmoronal: the only cure for creeping feelings that there must be more to life than this dear god please let there be more)#late stage capitalism#take your productivity pills and charge your surveillance state cell phone#the future is worse#text

hi tumblr, your friendly neighborhood culinary student here! the inaugruation luncheon menu is perhaps the single most politically-charged menu i've ever laid eyes on, and i want to deconstruct it. so without further ado:
a culinary student's analysis of the 2025 Inaugural Luncheon Menu
First course: Chesapeake Crab Cake with tomato tartar[e], bay sauce, pickled vegetables, romanesco, dill, and chive oil
right off the bat, we're presented with a single-option menu, which from an event planning (and thus business, which i'm majoring in) standpoint is already a horrible choice. it's also very indicative of Trump's view on choice. my way or the high way, even if its impossible for you. it's immediately alienating people with a shellfish/seafood allergy. this is going to be a common trend here. (also, note the misspelling of "tartare." tartar is a mayo-based sauce. tartare is a finely chopped vegetable dish, which the tomato element is far more likely to be.)
Second course: Greater Omaha Angus Ribeye Steak with Thumbelina carrots, broccoli rabe, carrot top herb sauce, red wine truffle jus, and potato gratin
this course is the most obvious display of values. we start with the omaha steak. statistically, men (however my professor is defining "men") are more likely to prefer steak to other meats, while women (however my professor is defining "women") are more likely to prefer lighter proteins like chicken or fish. it's very in-line with actions taken against women's rights and reproductive health, like the removal of resources.
similarly, this also declares a support of the beef livestock industry, which is the most negatively-impactful sector of the food and beverage industry on the climate. for years, there's been a push to promote alternative meats or make more plant-forward dishes to reduce the impact of beef farming. this is the exact opposite of that. the meat draws the attention in this menu.
this also excludes anyone who cannot eat red meat, or follow diets that exclude it for health, environmental, or political reasons.
then we move to the jus, which is a sauce made primarily using the juice lost in the pan during the cooking process of a meat, normally beef or veal. in this instance, it's combined with red wine and truffles, both viewed as luxurious foodstuffs by most. the dish radiates the vibe of a classic steakhouse dish. very "i'm so high-class, look at me! i'm protein-heavy and full of fancy things!" a very plain meal under a veneer of costly ingredients and percieved value.
Third course: Minnesota Apple Ice Box Terrine with sour cream ice cream and salted caramel
my immediate question, as someone who grew up in NY, is why they went with Minnesota apples as opposed to NY apples when NY is far more known for the fruit. the answer is quite simple. Trump doesn't like NY. NY voted against him, so they chose another state's apples. (this isn't to say that Minnesota apples are lesser than NY ones at all. it's simply a matter of expectation when NYC is the Big Apple and cideries litter the local landscape.)
and again we see the exclusion of those with dietary restrictions with the sour cream ice cream. good luck to anyone in attendance with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.
and lastly, a note on the wines. all four were from the USA. not a French or Italian or just generally foreign one in sight. two of the four were California wines, likely as a nod to his Silicon Valley friends. the other two were Virginia and New Mexico.
the menu overall reinforces what we've already seen: a highlight on the rich, the exclusion of anyone who isn't a cishet white man, and even then alienation of anyone who isn't physically flawless. this is fascism in a menu.

Pour one out for the tragedy of Bobby and Rufus.
Rufus, who saved Bobby's life, taught him what's out there and how to hunt, and they were partners, until Omaha and Bobby did something Rufus says he'll never forgive Bobby for, and Rufus dies with Bobby unforgiven. They loved each other, still, and they're like family--showing up for each other even if Rufus can never forgive Bobby for Omaha.
In the same episode that underscores again that Samuel Campbell didn't earn being family.
It's right there in the text, expressly, from Dean's mouth how this works, "Just 'cause you're blood, doesn't make you family. You gotta earn that."
And at the end of the ep, Dean, looking at the tragedy of Bobby and Rufus, hands out blanket forgiveness, because "at the end of the day, you two were family." Because they earned that.
Bobby and Rufus are parallels for two relationships--they're Sam and Dean, who have fought and forgiven each other, because they've earned it, they live up to their brotherhood, and they're also Dean and Cas. Including where Bobby and Rufus's brotherhood is formed by brothers-in-arms, not blood brothers from infancy. They are as much about Dean and Cas as they are a mirror on Sam and Dean, and are more the type of relationship Dean and Cas have than Sam and Dean.
"I was just a job...this guy comes busting in...sends that demon straight to hell...Taught me a thing or two about what's really out there"
The ***foreshadowing*** and the forgiveness!!!!
The family don't end with blood!!!
The unbreakable bond even if someone screws up, because they've earned forgiveness, they've shown their goodness and their love and even if they do something spectacularly stupid, the good is greater than the failing.

Hi, everyone -- I had a new “this day in history” story written for this morning. It was about something that happened during the Civil War. It feels wrong to post that story, though, given the events of the weekend. I don’t want to tell a story about a time when we were divided. Instead, count me among those who are joining the call for unity today. With that in mind, I’ve pulled a quote from Ronald Reagan’s farewell address in January 1989. It’s reprinted below.
It's long past time that we remember who we are. God Bless America!
-------------
“[A]re we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn’t get these things from your family you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. . . .
. . . . we’ve got to teach history based not on what’s in fashion but what’s important -- why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. You know, 4 years ago on the 40th anniversary of D-day, I read a letter from a young woman writing to her late father, who’d fought on Omaha Beach. Her name was Lisa Zanatta Henn, and she said, “we will always remember, we will never forget what the boys of Normandy did.” Well, let’s help her keep her word. If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual.
And let me offer lesson number one about America: All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven’t been teaching you what it means to be an American, let ‘em know and nail ‘em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.
. . . .
I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That’s how I saw it, and see it still.”

Dr. Reames! I read where you promised you wouldn't put up a Tumblr paywall and haven't created a Patreon either, because your school pays your salary so you can answer asks here for free.
That's cool, and super generous. Seriously. I've learned so much. The level of detail in your posts I wouldn't expect outside a university class or buying a book. So if, yeah, you get paid by them, is there a way your followers here who aren't your students... but kinda ARE ...support what you're doing? Other than buying the novels (which is actually how I found you to begin with).
Also, do you have any online classes on Alexander like those "Great Courses"? I'd love to take an online course with you if you have lectures.
Thank you!
I’m delighted people read these things! Ha. Some are rather long. But sometimes the answer is complex. (I should make a couple polls; I’m curious how much/many of these people do read.)
Anyway, to answer the questions:
No, I don’t have any online ATG class at present. I am working on putting up Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Origin (e.g., from early Macedonia/Alexander I to ATG). But you’d need to be enrolled with UNO to take it. It’s still a couple years out, at least.
As for other ways to help.
First, buy the books. (The asker said they already have.) Ironically, I get greater royalties from ebooks than paper. Sometimes people buy paper thinking it helps me more. I prefer paper books myself, so certainly buy paper if you also prefer them, but don’t pay the higher price for paper just because you think that benefits me.
TALK ABOUT THE BOOKS … on both Tumblr and TikTok (+ Bluesky and Twitter). I understand Song of Achilles had only a minor following until it blew up on BookTok. So, if you have a TikTok and really liked the books, talk about them and tag it #booktok & #historicalfiction (et al.). There have been a couple BookToks done in Italian, but I’ve not seen any in English. Doing one would be fantastic. On Tumblr, people have mentioned it and shared lines from it in the past, and some folks have found it that way. Word of mouth works. The recent Alexander Netflix series has brought new people looking for fiction (and queer-positive fiction) about him.
Rate (and review?) the novels on Goodreads and/or Amazon (or elsewhere), especially if you liked them enough to give them 5-stars. But of course, be true to your honest opinion. If there’s a fair bit of skepticism about the value of Goodreads/ Amazon ratings in the publishing industry, agents and publishers still (perhaps hypocritically) pay attention to them.
Last, and not book related, but if you read and enjoy my posts here on Tumblr, and feel you’ve learned something from me, keep in mind that it’s the University of Nebraska-Omaha History Department that’s making this possible by paying my salary. 😊

Meet Stress Test Editors John K. Roth and Carol Rittner!
John K. Roth
The Edward J. Sexton Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Claremont McKenna College, where he taught for more than forty years and was the founding director of the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights (now the Mgrublian Center for Human Rights). He is a Protestant Christian with Presbyterian and Methodist ties. Long friendships with Elie Wiesel and Richard Rubenstein, Eva Fleischner, and Franklin Littell impressed on Roth how deeply the Christian tradition has been implicated in antisemitism and the Holocaust.
In books such as The Failures of Ethics (2015), Sources of Holocaust Insight (2020), and Warnings: The Holocaust, Ukraine, and Endangered American Democracy (2023), Roth looks for ways in which Christians and Jews can work together to resist anti-democratic authoritarianism and to defend human rights. Against long odds, he remains hopeful that a two-state resolution, which he has long supported, can be found for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Hamas-Israel War
Carol Rittner R.S.M.
Dr. Rittner is the author, editor or co-editor of numerous essays and books about the Holocaust and Christian-Jewish relations, including Memory Offended: The Auschwitz Convent Controversy (Westport, CT: Praeger, 1991); What’s the “Good News” After Auschwitz? (Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 2001), Pius XII and the Holocaust (London and New York: University of Leicester Press/Continuum Publishers, 2002); No Going Back:Letters to Pope Benedict XVI on the Holocaust, Christian-Jewish Relations and the State of Israel (Laxton, UK: Quill Press, 2009); The Holocaust and Nostra Aetate: Toward A Greater Understanding (Greensburg, PA: Seton Hill University Press, 2017); and The Holocaust and the Christian World, 2nd ed. (Mahwah, NJ: A Stimulus Book, Paulist Press, 2019). She is the co-editor, with John K. Roth, of the forthcoming book Stress Test: The Hamas-Israel War and Christian-Jewish Relations (iPub Global, 2025).
Her international engagement further demonstrates Dr. Rittner’s commitment to fostering interfaith understanding and peace. Between 1985 and 2010, she led numerous groups of Christians to Israel, facilitating meetings with Israeli Jews, Muslims, Druse, and Christians. These visits also included interactions with Palestinians in Bethlehem, providing a platform for learning about and discussing the ongoing obstacles and possibilities for peace in the region.
She is the recipient of four Honorary Doctorates from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA (1990), King’s College, Wilkes Barre, PA (1999), Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ (2002), and The College of St. Mary, Omaha, NB (2011). In 2022, the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education at Seton Hill University, Greensburg, PA, honored Dr. Rittner with the Nostra Aetate Award, which “acknowledges distinguished work in the field of Jewish-Catholic relations and, in particular, recognizes scholarship that enhanced interfaith understanding.”

D-Day was a powerful illustration of how alliances make us stronger in the defense of freedom. This lesson has never resonated more.
[President Biden]
* * * *
LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
June 6, 2024
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
JUN 07, 2024
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had good news for the American people when he gave his twenty-ninth Fireside Chat on June 5, 1944. The day before, on June 4, Rome had fallen to Allied troops. “The first of the Axis capitals is now in our hands,” Roosevelt said.
The president pointed out that “it is…significant that Rome has been liberated by the armed forces of many nations. The American and British armies—who bore the chief burdens of battle—found at their sides our own North American neighbors, the gallant Canadians. The fighting New Zealanders from the far South Pacific, the courageous French and the French Moroccans, the South Africans, the Poles and the East Indians—all of them fought with us on the bloody approaches to the city of Rome. The Italians, too, forswearing a partnership in the Axis which they never desired, have sent their troops to join us in our battles against the German trespassers on their soil.”
This group of ordinary men from many different countries had worked together to defeat the forces of fascism.
But FDR warned Americans that the fall of Rome was only the beginning. “We shall have to push through a long period of greater effort and fiercer fighting before we get into Germany itself,” he said. [T]he victory still lies some distance ahead. That distance will be covered in due time—have no fear of that. But it will be tough and it will be costly.”
FDR knew something his audience did not. On the other side of the Atlantic, paratroopers, their faces darkened with cocoa, were already dropping into France, and the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allies were on their way across the English channel.
The order of the day from their commander Dwight D. Eisenhower that day had read: “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed people of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
“Your task will not be an easy one,” it read, but it assured the troops that the Germans had suffered great defeats and Allied bombing had reduced German strength, while “[o]ur Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!”
Eisenhower’s public confidence did not reflect his understanding that the largest amphibious invasion in military history was a gamble. On June 5, in pencil on a sheet of paper, he had written a message to be communicated in case the invasion failed.
“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops,” it read. “My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and dedication to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
On the morning of June 6, 1944, five naval assault divisions stormed the beaches of Normandy. Seven thousand ships and landing craft operated by more than 195,000 naval personnel from 8 countries brought almost 133,000 troops to beaches given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. By the end of the day, more than 10,000 Allied troops were wounded or killed, but the Allies had established a foothold in France that would permit them to flood troops, vehicles, and supplies into Europe. When FDR held a press conference later that day, officials and press both were jubilant.
Today, eighty years later, world leaders and more than two dozen U.S. veterans of D-Day gathered to commemorate that day. They met above Omaha Beach at the Normandy American Cemetery, where the remains of 9,388 Americans, many of whom were killed on D-Day, are buried.
“Hitler and those with him thought democracies were weak, that the future belonged to dictators,” President Joe Biden said in a speech. “Here, on the coast of Normandy, the battle between freedom and tyranny would be joined.”
Biden honored the visiting veterans by name—Kenneth Blaine Smith, Bob Gibson, Ben Miller, Louis Brown, Woody Woodhouse, Marjorie Stone—and recounted what they did that day: operating radar, driving an M4 tractor mounted with an anti-aircraft gun, dragging injured soldiers to safety, treating wounds, driving trucks carrying supplies, flying and fixing planes.
Echoing FDR’s chat about the fall of Rome, Biden attributed D-Day’s success to ordinary people. “Every soldier who stormed the beach, who dropped by parachute or landed by glider; every sailor who manned the thousands of ships and landing craft; every aviator who destroyed German-controlled air fields, bridges, and railroads—all—all were backed by other brave Americans, including hundreds of thousands of people of color and women who courageously served despite unjust limitations on what they could do for their nation,” Biden said.
The story of the veterans “has always been the story of America,” Biden said. “Just walk the rows of this cemetery…. Nearly 10,000 heroes buried side by side, officers and enlisted, immigrants and native-born. Different races, different faiths, but all Americans. All served with honor when America and the world needed them most.”
“Millions back home did their part as well. From coast to coast, Americans found countless ways to pitch in. They understood our democracy is only as strong as all of us make it, together.”
“The men who fought here became heroes not because they were the strongest or toughest or were fiercest—although they were,” Biden said, “but because they…knew, beyond any doubt, there are things that are worth fighting and dying for.”
“Freedom is worth it. Democracy is worth it. America is worth it. The world is worth it—then, now, and always.”
“Here we proved the forces of liberty are stronger than the forces of conquest,” Biden said. “Here we proved that the ideals of our democracy are stronger than any army or combination of armies in the entire world.”
D-Day also proved that alliances make us stronger, Biden said, a principle that after the war led to the creation of “the greatest military alliance in the history of the world,” NATO. He continued, to applause: “America’s unique ability to bring countries together is an…undeniable source of our strength and our power. Isolationism was not the answer 80 years ago, and it is not the answer today.”
“The struggle between a dictatorship and freedom is unending,” he said, and he vowed that the U.S., NATO, and allied countries will not walk away from Ukraine in its fight to resist Russia’s assault. “[T]o bow down to dictators,” he said, “means we’d be forgetting what happened here on these hallowed beaches.”
“History tells us freedom is not free,” Biden said. “If you want to know the price of freedom, come here to Normandy…and remember: The price of unchecked tyranny is the blood of the young and the brave.
“In their generation, in their hour of trial, the Allied forces of D-Day did their duty. Now the question for us is: In our hour of trial, will we do ours?
“We’re living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than at any point…since these beaches were stormed in 1944. Now, we have to ask ourselves: Will we stand against tyranny, against evil, against crushing brutality of the iron fist?
“Will we stand for freedom? Will we defend democracy? Will we stand together?
“My answer is yes. And it only can be yes.”
“Let us be the generation that when history is written about our time—in 10, 20, 30, 50, 80 years from now—it will be said: When the moment came, we met the moment. We stood strong. Our alliances were made stronger. And we saved democracy in our time as well.”
During the ceremony, the past and the present came together. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky shook the hand of a U.S. veteran in a wheelchair. When the man tried to kiss Zelensky’s hand, the Ukraine president instead stooped and hugged him. “You’re the savior of the people,” the man said. Zelensky answered, “You saved Europe.” The exchange continued: “You’re my hero.” “No, you are our hero.”
As the crowd cheered, the old man turned to look at the younger one and said, “I pray for you.”

An Angel in Oz (also on AO3)
One morning, as Anthony Crowley was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his red, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections.
"Satan's bollocks," he groaned. "Not again."
⁂
Meanwhile, Aziraphale was having a much more interesting adventure. He had nodded off in a comfortable armchair after some particularly delicious cocoa, and his dreams had been light and whirling and airy, a rainbow-coloured gavotte. When he opened his eyes, stretched luxuriously, and yawned, the view out the bookshop window was so unexpected that he was convinced he was still dreaming.
The little people crowded around the outside of the shop seemed mildly curious about the place, but they evidently did not regard it as an especially startling addition to their town. It seemed that buildings fell out of the sky here fairly regularly, and that for them it was no more out of the ordinary than the opening of a new restaurant would have been in London.
When the angel emerged from his front door, they greeted him with a brief burst of song.
"I do apologize for dropping in like this," said Aziraphale to a couple of blue-clad locals.
"Are you a friend of Dorothy?" one of them asked.
"Oh! I suppose that I am," said the angel.
"You'll be wanting to go to the Emerald City, then." The Munchkin waved a hand, indicating the recommended direction. "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
"But what about my bookshop? I can't just leave it here!"
At this, some of the Munchkins gave him looks that clearly conveyed he's mental without having to be so rude as to actually say it, while a greater number of them burst into peals of merry laughter.
"Humph. A fat lot of help you are," said Aziraphale, and ruffled out his wings irritably before launching himself into the brilliant Technicolor sky. He reasoned that any population who took the arrival of airborne architecture so calmly would likely be untroubled by winged people. Besides, it would be much faster and easier to follow the road if he was flying rather than walking.
⁂
Crowley wriggled a bit, and found that he was unable to turn himself over. After a minute, the effort tired him out and he went back to sleep again.
⁂
A short while later, Aziraphale landed outside the Emerald City, tucked his wings away, and gave himself a minute to catch his breath before he approached the gate. It hadn't been that long a flight, but he was a trifle out of condition. The Guardian of the Gates fitted him with a pair of protective glasses, and he proceeded into the city, where he found Dorothy walking down the street towards him.
"Mr. Fell!" exclaimed Dorothy, "How wonderful to meet you at last!"
"And you as well, my dear." said Aziraphale. "I never expected to have the pleasure, though as you know I have followed your adventures with considerable interest."
"Come and meet Ozma and the Wizard! And there's breakfast, if you'd like."
"I should be delighted."
⁂
The next time Crowley woke, he discovered that his form had shifted, and instead of being hard-backed and inflexible, he was now composed of innumerable jointed segments and hundreds of narrow prickly legs. Being able to move more fluidly was a great improvement. He scuttled contentedly up to a dim corner of the ceiling, sighed, and returned to his snooze once more.
⁂
"And then held by a slight bend of the thumb, so... whoops! Oh dear." The coin clinked onto the jewel-studded pavement of the garden path.
"Oh-ho, yes! I use a slightly different technique, myself. The coins here are somewhat larger than a good old Omaha half-dollar, which allows for..."
"I say, that was very smoothly done."
"Thank you, Mr. Fell. It's been a long time since I've had the chance to compare notes with a fellow practitioner of the Great Art."
"Excuse me, Mr. Fell, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation with the Wizard, but Glinda has arrived, and she says that she and Ozma can send your bookshop back where it's s'posed to be."
"Goodness, that is a tremendous relief. I can take myself back easily enough, I'm sure, but I was awfully concerned about the shop. One feels a certain responsibility toward the other tenants of the building, you know. Dorothy, my dear, would you care to do me the honour of visiting my humble establishment, before it leaves this land? I have some recently-acquired inventory you might enjoy."
⁂
The dim corner of the ceiling was unoccupied once more. Down the wall ran a glistening trail where something slug-like had oozed. From a dark, amorphous, pulsating heap at the bottom (probably best not examined too closely) came a faint sound of snoring.
⁂
"Yes, I'm sure Adam would be quite pleased to think that you had that one. And this is the back room, where Crowley and I usually sit. Oh! Crowley! He was supposed to call me this morning to tell me how his latest project was going. I need to get home at once!"
"We're ready when you are. Tap your heels together three times..."
"Wait, shouldn't I be wearing special shoes for this?"
"It's not strictly necessary, but if you like. Here." There was the swish of a wand, and a sort of twinkling noise.
Aziraphale laughed delightedly. "These are very old favorites. However did you know?" Glinda winked at him.
He tapped his heels together three times, thinking, There really is no place like home. I'm on my way, Crowley!
⁂
There was a whooshing, swirling disturbance in the air, and something on the Soho street corner shimmered slightly. Though it would have been impossible, afterward, to say whether anything about it really looked any different than it ever had.
In Mayfair, Crowley woke with an uncomfortable jostle, and wondered why he was on the floor. Well, he'd woken up in worse places. He unfolded himself and wandered down the hall to his office, without exactly noticing that he was human-shaped again.
"Oh Heaven, is that the time? I was supposed to call Aziraphale."
⁂
Aziraphale opened his eyes and looked around the bookshop. A copy of Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz was sitting on the table next to him, and he didn’t think it had been there last night. He blinked, and yawned. And remembered, just as the phone rang.
"Crowley!"
"Morning, angel."
"What's happened to your voice?"
"Dunno. Has something happened to it?"
"Well, perhaps it's just a touch of static on the line. How's progress on your little...endeavour?"
"Brilliant! Everything I could have hoped for. They'd already started writing it, so now they'll be arguing over whose name will be listed first when it's published, and which of them is more likely to get tenure. I hardly had to do anything, really. Just buy them a few drinks, and ask a couple of casual questions."
"Sounds like you had a lovely evening, then."
"Yeah! Only, uh, that last round of absinthe was maybe a mistake. I had the weirdest dreams."
"It's funny, but so did I!"
"Didn't think you ever even bothered to sleep."
"Well, I don't, normally, but I don't think any of it could possibly have been real. I mean, I went out the door and they all started singing!"
"...you know what, angel, why don't we meet for lunch and you can tell me all about it."
Good evening sir!
Would you like to drop a morsel to ignite the Good Omens fan base? Dealer's choice.
Not really. I mean, you still have a long time until summer. The last thing I want to do is exhaust you all by telling you stuff now so by the time the show comes out you'll all be bitter and jaded.
I could make something up, though. Crowley wakes up at the beginning of episode 1 to find himself transformed into a giant cockroach, while a huge storm blows up and carries Aziraphale's bookshop off the Land of Oz....

Critical Analysis
Jimenez, S. (2022). THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN DISNEY ANIMATED FILMS. [online] Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1189&context=university_honors_program.
Sharik Jimenez’s sociology thesis from the University of Nebraska at Omaha analyses the female representation of women in Disney animated movies. It explores the evolution of female characters through cultural, media, and historical analysis, going from traditional to modernized and independent protagonists. The studies both acknowledge the progress and evolution of the company in challenging norms and underrepresentation in culture, body inclusivity, and the consistency of stereotypes in Disney princess movies. Using reliable sources and examples, it underscores the way media shapes the societal perception of gender and identity.
Over the selection (pages 24-25) the article studies Disney’s depiction of gender roles in their animated princess movies, highlighting the contrast of the traditional portrayals of Cinderella with progressive characters like Mulan. Additionally, it critiques the constant stereotypes that have shaped Disney’s storytelling throughout history. While this analysis covers valid concerns about representation and societal impact, it also oversimplifies some complex issues. This article presents arguments with strengths and limitations and could benefit from deeper exploration.
The critique has strengths as it contrasts Mulan and cinderella, highlighting the evolution of Disney regarding their female protagonists. The analysis examines the submissive and passive roles that early heroines in Disney often play by observing how cinderella is often silenced and interrupted. As this portrayal aligns well with the mid-20th century gender dorms, the contrast with Mulan's break from traditional behavior, showing a female character who goes against expectations to achieve greatness, draws attention to the progression Disney showed in its its storytelling. Moreover, this analysis recognizes the cultural and societal influence of Disney’s representations, illustrating the reciprocal relationship between cultural norms and media. Furthermore, they focus on necessity for Disney to reconsider their gender narratives, and to go beef the superficial characteristics, such as appearance and beauty. This study highlights the need for greater inclusivity and equality in media, emphasizing the importance of changing narratives for younger audiences and considering the important role of children’s media in shaping societal attitudes.
However, while the excerpt appropriately contrasts Cinderella and Mulan, it exaggerates and oversimplifies Disney’s evolution by representing these movies as opposites. Their chosen perspective overlooks the complexity of gender representation. For example, while Cinderella is portrayed as respecting traditional norms, her kindness and diligence are her strengths. Likewise, Mulan does not entirely lack problematic elements, such as her success being implicitly associated with masculine traits like combat skills. A ore refined examination would take into consideration the ways both movies challenged gender norms within their individual historical contexts. Then, the selection critiques Disney’s habit of relying on stereotypes. However, it does not completely explore how these stereotypes are manifested across different movies. For instance, they claim that female leadership is usually associated with the lack of self-control but they don’t provide any example to support this argument. Furthermore, the claim that Disney doesn’t change their corporate culture is quite deistic, taking into consideration their societal shifts and evolving employees. While in the past Disney has undeniably relied on conservative structure, their recent movies such as Frozen and Encanto show a big effort to offer diversified narratives. In Encanto, the main themes are familial roles and finding your identity, without having tonally on a traditional antagonist. This movie showcases more nuanced and significant storytelling. These shifts are important as they show Disney’s improved trajectory.
Disney has relied on traditional gender roles in older movies, reflecting their origins in a cultural context based in the mid-20th century, resonating with the basic fairy tale narrative emphasizing the passive girl and her courageous male savior. However, as societal norms have evolved, so have Disney’s stories. Most recent movies, like Raya and the Last dragon, reject the damsel in distress narrative, showing the reimagination of traditional story telling. In addition, a challenge Disney has been facing recurrently is finding the right balance between feminine traits and empowerment. Mulan achieves success by acquiring traditional masculine traits. In contrast, Moana and Elsa show that strength, compassion, and vulnerability can coexist. This recognizable change showcases that empowerment does not need an abandon of femininity. Besides this, while Disney’s story telling progresses with the changing societal norms, the commercial motivations behind these shifts are important to consider. Disney ensures it’s constant global relevance by appealing to more diverse audiences. The article could add depth to the analysis by exploring whether the significant changes are genuine social responsibility or calculated responses to demands.
This excerpt could use some deeper exploration. Firstly, as this article compares the princesses across the different eras, examining the impact of societal changes on gender representation, they could highlight the company’s evolution, while also acknowledging the areas where the progress might remain incomplete. As well as acknowledged evolution, another important intersectional lens that would enrich the excerpt, would be the portrayal of the intersection of ethnicity race and cultural diversity. This perspective has always proven to be crucial in understanding the wider suggestions in a society that is multicultural. Furthermore, good support for the critique would be the exploration of how audiences perceive and respond to Disney’s gender narratives. For example, analyzing some character’s popularity among young viewers, such as Elsa and Moana, would well illustrate how these different portrayals resonate with modern audiences. Lastly, situating the representation of gender within the broader context of animated movies would offer a more refined analysis. Comparing the different approaches from Disney to other studios such as Pixar and Dream Works could show who’s leading and who’s fooling the industry in representation.
In conclusion, the analysis of the gender representation of Disney in princess movies does raise significant questions about stereotypes, the influence of society as well as the need for more progressive narratives. While this article contrasts well the traditional and modern portrayals, it could explore the evolution of Disney’s strategical storytelling. The research could deliver a better understanding of the role Disney holds in shaping cultural narratives about gender by analyzing more in-depth intersectionality, context, and the impact on the audience. In the end, Disney princess movies consider and showcase both the challenges and opportunities of evolving gender representation in a changing world.
