Okay, I'm not sure it this hasn't been already talked about but

ARE WE ALL AWARE OF THE CHANGE THAT HAD HAPPENED IN KRIS?!

Remember that one interview, when he said that back when he was a child he used to be called a "girl" because of his longer hair? And then he cut them short to stop the comments

And now? Now, during their BIGGEST concert he was wearing a Diana-revange outfit, his hair longer again and he absolutely slayed. The confidence shown, the joy while performing, all of his soul put into singing NGVOT... This man went through such a big change

I am so fucking proud of him, it must've taken him a while to figure all those things out, because these things are difficult to get through. And now here he is, slaying as hard as he can, being who he wants to be and not giving a fuck

That's an inspiration, that's an icon

Celine Song, director of Past Lives

Today's teensy rabbit hole discoveries include 2 interviews with Celine Song : The Guardian (Aug 2023) about her work + UK GQ (Dec 2023) about her most recent film in particular. Loved learning a bit more about this creative person's journey + their work. LOVE this summary of a movie which is STILL with me, rattling around inside:

“But halfway through, the film reveals itself to be about something grander and more universal: learning to make peace with the life you’ve built for yourself.”

THRILLED to see Manhattan in a fresh way!!!

“Though Past Lives is part of the lineage of great New York films, it’s also a new kind of New York film – and an additive one to the Western canon. Cinematically, Manhattan is still a place where pretty blond women can traipse through the West Village in Manolo Blahniks. But now it’s also a place where Korean Canadian creative types can fall in love, lose their shit on the sidewalk, and hold real power over the men in their lives.”

And this?! Seeing Song's intention with the bar scene?!!!

“Take, for example, the widely discussed bar scene in which Nora and Hae Sung gaze at each other while reminiscing in Korean about their past, all while Nora’s husband, Arthur, sits quietly beside them, unable to follow the conversation. To some men, I tell Song, it almost plays out like Arthur is being cucked. She laughs, and considers the interpretation. “If you are somebody who likes masculinity and likes men, it’s really hard to see that as a sign of weakness,” she counters. “Because my thing is, Arthur sitting there is a sign of strength…. To me, there’s nothing hotter than that. That’s nothing more masculine and ooh” – here she feigns fanning herself – “than someone who’s able to not make that moment about themselves.”

magpie, magpie

i loved you at first glance

i kept my distance

i didn’t want to scare you off

magpie, magpie

a little birdie told you my secret

but you said you felt the same

and i really did believe you

magpie, magpie

i loved you when your feathers were blue

dark blue to match your dark eyes

i half wish you had kept them short

magpie, magpie

you never told your parents

or even the rest of your flock

i only met one because they were perched with you

magpie, magpie

i remember when you dyed your feathers green

your wings and neck stained green

because you wouldn’t listen to a word i said

magpie, magpie

i was deafened by your birdsong

and gentle pecks on the cheek

i never paid attention to the flags you carried

magpie, magpie

you got bored after a month

you sought other thrills

you left in the middle of your song

magpie, magpie

you were never honest

gave me different reasons over time

and each one hurt more than the last

magpie, magpie

you never take a hint

i’m sick of your song

yet you still perch and sing

magpie, magpie

you’d never listen anyway

pierce your beak in the last place you should

just don’t cry to me when it hurts

magpie, magpie

you still perch next to me

sing things to me i never said you could sing

and you ask why i sit so angry

magpie, magpie

i know i’m the only one you’re still attached to

i don’t want to hate birds like you

but you never learned your lesson

magpie, magpie

i’m beyond ready to let you go

i don’t how how else i’m supposed to say it

when the door to your cage has been open the whole time

— magpie, magpie

so I was skimming some of the flavor text in the dnd cookbook justin got for christmas, and the intro to elven cuisine mentioned many elves having dietary restrictions like vegetarianism and veganism because of "their great respect for all life", and not to be too galaxy brained and/or maybe kind of a bitch but I really feel like a lot of elves and druids specifically aren't vegetarian, because they have a better than average respect and compassion for all life but they also have a better than average understanding that that includes plants

Slow creep back into Warframe.

An idea for when Mancer(this Frost) was still an Orokin and the Qortan family crest. Sometimes a warrior, primarily a hard worker and animal handler. He would rather spend time with the animals his family cares for and breeds than fraternize with other Orokin. Unless they are close friends of the family.

Additional fact: at some point for their family line they stopped with the blue skin and elongated arm and switched over to expressing animal traits. Caught some grief but didn't last for too long as they have a stranglehold on some lucrative animals.

Especially upsetting now that there’s literally at least one study demonstrating how our brain capacity and ability to be productive caps at about six hours, and the rest of what we do at work is actually a sort of fruitless waste of time

I think it was in scandinavia somewhere that we tried introducing six hr workdays and it didn’t worsen productivity. What it did do was raise people’s life satisfaction and their wellbeing. Preventing mf burnout

I know I don't shut up about this but frankly not enough people are angry about the 5-day/40 hour workweek (and I am AWARE a lot of people work even more than that). I feel like a lot more people should be absolutely furious that we only really have two days a week and some occasional hours in the evening to socialise, run errands, do chores, or relax.

It's no wonder so many people are profoundly lonely and disconnected from their communities when maintaining a social life in what little free time we have is incredibly difficult. If you have kids, a second job, a very long commute, or other responsibilities, it's nearly impossible.

We literally aren't meant to live like this and I'll never stop being shocked how many people just take it as the natural state of things and don't want to throw a brick through a billionaire's window every time they think of it.
