keep thinking now about the idea of the ancient greek stage building as a doorway into death, which is separated from the stage (the space of the living) by the screen of the skene. cassandra calls it as much ("the gates of hades") when she enters the house of atreus. by convention characters cannot die on stage but must exit, usually into the skene, to be killed. cassandra's just extra explicit about it because of her foresight, but every entry into the stage building is a step into death. and then some people come back out of it!!!

so how do you cope with the realization that we're all going to have 40 years of full-time work at jobs that don't fucking matter. living for the weekends where you sleep one day and dissociate the other and then it's back to work on monday. and if you're lucky you retire just in time to start deteriorating physically and mentally. how do you live with that

Not to #victimblame (but also yes to do that lol) but why are presidents, present past and/or potentially future, having events in outdoor spaces in 2024 in the first place…?
