Unfortunate Discovery

TW: emeto, brief food descriptions

———

It was supposed to be a fun night out. They had just finished the final day of shooting for a short film and gone to a nice restaurant, and now Lucas felt sick to his stomach.

Armando was driving half of the crew—himself, Penelope, Lucas, Steven, and Ethan—on the two hour drive back to campus. Lucas, being the skinniest, was stuck between Penelope and his brother Steven in the back seats. It had only been a few minutes since they had started the trip.

With every minute that passed, Lucas’ stomach got more upset.

I don’t get carsick, so it can’t be that… and I don’t have any other symptoms, so I don’t think I’m actually sick…

He tried to figure out what could be making him feel so awful.

Did I just eat too much? I don’t think so…

The pressure of his stomach against the inside of his abdomen just kept getting stronger as more minutes went by.

Did I eat something I don’t usually eat? Let’s see, steak, rice, no, those are fine…

He leaned back in his seat to try to get more comfortable. It didn’t help. He leaned forward. It didn’t help.

Avocado? I guess I don’t usually eat that much of it. That could be it.

He tried to lean to one side somehow. It didn’t help.

Nothing was working. He held his seatbelt out from his body, which helped a little bit with the pressure.

“You okay, Lucas?” Penelope asked, breaking from her conversation with Ethan and Armando.

“Yeah, my stomach just feels a bit…” he shook his head, trying to think of the right way to describe it. “…bad.”

“How bad?” she pried.

“Are you gonna barf?” Steven teased him.

“I might just barf on you,” he quipped back.

“Seriously, though, so I need to get off the highway?” Armando asked.

Lucas thought about it for a moment.

“Yeah, probably,” he answered.

“Okay,” Armando said with a sigh. “You better not ruin my car.”

“Are there any plastic bags or anything in here?” Ethan wondered.

“I don’t think so,” Armando answered.

Ethan checked the glove compartment as Armando took an exit to get off the highway. The GPS voice started telling him how to get back on the highway.

“Ethan, could you turn that off and change it to avoid highways?” Armando requested.

“Sure,” Ethan said. “It needs your passcode.”

Armando skillfully typed his passcode without looking at his phone.

While Ethan messed with the GPS, Lucas tried to figure out whether he was really going to be sick or not. The feeling was right at the point where he couldn’t tell whether it was going to stay the same and eventually subside, or get worse and make him double over.

If it gets any worse, I’m definitely going to throw up.

It got worse. His stomach started to turn.

“Pull over,” he mumbled.

“What?” Armando asked.

“He said pull over,” Penelope told him urgently. “I think he’s going to throw up.”

“Oh, shit,” Armando said.

They were in the middle of a three lane road with a decent amount of traffic. He looked around for an opportunity to change lanes.

Don’t barf in the car, don’t barf in the car, Lucas repeated to himself, trying to prevent it from happening with sheer force of will.

Penelope noticed Lucas’ face getting pale and his cheeks getting flushed. His stomach churned and gurgled more and more. He pressed his hand over his mouth.

“If you don’t want your car ruined, you better get over, Armando,” Steven warned him.

“I know, I’m trying!” Armando snapped.

He cut aggressively into the left lane. Someone honked at him, but he didn’t care. Penelope unbuckled her seatbelt and got ready to jump out of the car. Lucas did the same while Armando pulled the car over onto the shoulder.

As soon as the car stopped, Penelope opened her door and gracefully hopped out of the way. Lucas clambered over the seats and practically fell out of the car. He staggered forward a few steps, then braced himself with his hands on his knees.

He gagged loudly, but nothing came up.

“Come on, get it over with!” Steven yelled from the car.

Lucas wished it was that easy. The pressure was unbearable. He heaved again, but still, nothing.

Steven mocked his retching noises. That finally sent him over the edge. His stomach violently contracted, forcing a large amount of his dinner up his throat and onto the grass.

He tried to spit out the awful taste. He could hear Steven laughing in the background.

Another painful heave sent up a mouthful of half-digested food. He spat again.

“Do you think it was something you ate?” Penelope asked, now standing next to him.

“Probably,” he responded.

Mucus dripped from his nose. His face was hot with embarrassment. He wondered how many people were looking at him from their cars.

He gagged again, puking up only a small stream of mucus and saliva.

He took a deep breath, letting the spit drip out of his mouth.

“Do you think you’re done?” Penelope asked gently.

“Maybe.”

He stood upright. He still felt queasy, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was before. The pressure was almost gone.

“Yeah. I feel so much better now,” he told her.

“That’s good.”

Revenge of the Sith (adapted by Matthew Stover)

First there was a video:

And not only did it give me an idea of things to watch, it also gave me a book recommendation, and I thought "Hey, that seems like fun!"

It was not. But it was very well-written. And an exploration of the book also requires a minor peak into the OSP video itself.

We know the story of Revenge of the Sith. Even outside the redemption of the prequels in the eyes of fans (and even for some like me whose taste is so shit we enjoyed them anyway) it's the best of the prequels, and the one whose story holds up the most. There's a hint of a good story within, but it's scrubbed away by poor directing and acting choices.

The novelization by Matthew Stover is as close as we're likely to get to that good story. But the bones of the tragedy of Revenge of the Sith are also shackled to George Lucas' vision, and the creative choices therein. I am reminded of the director's cut of Batman v Superman, which told essentially the same story but with better pacing and exposition, but was still constrained by the choices made for the original movie. If you didn't like that version of Lex Luthor the version with more of him wouldn't convince you to change your mind. Padmé still doesn't do a lot, and is made a damsel in the book and movie both.

But the novelization is pragmatic in what and how it chooses to adapt the material. One of the things that shocked me was its disregard for the original dialogue; I consider the cheese present in RotS to be essential, and if I were writing this book I would adapt it so the dialogue feels earned, but Matthew Stover frequently and overtly changes the words used to tell the same story.

A standout example is from the early chapters, during the fight between Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku: in the movie and in the book, Anakin brags to Dooku that "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, count" which, in the movie, is followed up by Christopher Lee's rich baritone "Twice the pride, double the fall". A classic, the subreddit loves it, but in the book Anakin is cut off before he can say "count" and Dooku interrupts with "How lovely for you" and attacks him again. It's a vicious demonstration of the way fights happen in this book: fast, brutal, and inherently deadly. The opening dogfight alone is rendered more tense by making the Jedi seem more powerful, a weird feat I wouldn't have considered.

This pragmatism can, on occasion, be weaker than the movie. In particular, Padmé's line about how liberty dies replaces the powerful "...with thunderous applause" to "...with cheering and applause". The dialogue is the one thing strengthened in this book, which for the most part is to the good but can cut down on the poetry of the spoken word. The Tragedy of Plagueis the Wise is rendered with common English (or Basic, shut up) and loses a lot of its powerful imagery.

This may well be a necessary flaw, however: the poetry of the narration is amped way the hell up in every regard, and in a tragedy this can make you feel the powerlessness of its players so profoundly that reading the book becomes uncomfortable. From that same OSP video is this quote which also describes the sheer familiar that Obi-Wan and Anakin have for one another:

In that same video, Blue also praises the dragon of the dead star, but I had no idea the sheer power that could come from naming the fear of death so profoundly. That cold shuddering recognition of the ultimate end is something I've struggled to feel, and it felt so, so real to experience when reading the book. It's a continuous foe for Anakin Skywalker and later Darth Vader, the one enemy he can't defeat.

Speaking of, there are two spectacular characterizations of Anakin and Obi-Wan in this book. For the latter, it comes at a highly-emotional moment and so re-contextualizes his entire relationship with Anakin and Padmé that I can't spoil it here. For the former, I would like to point something out: you notice how in the original trilogy, Darth Vader quips like there's no tomorrow? And have you ever wondered in Revenge of the Sith why we don't see that as much? Well, during the slaughter of the CIS leadership, we get that, and it's a familiar but cold flash-forward to the monster that Darth Vader is and will become. It felt nauseating to read, like an old friend who had only changed in one small way and revealed himself as your greatest enemy.

Personally, however, I think the best version of this story is the one told over 20 hours in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, DM'd by Brennan Lee Mulligan. In the book, there's an ambiguity of villainy because everyone presents themselves as doing the right thing utterly, such that it's no surprise Anakin was rendered so confused. A part of me even wonders if a villain was even necessary (would Anakin have taken the same path without being tricked into it? I'm unsure) but that's a half-formed wish. Calamity has everything this book has and I consider it absolutely perfect, up to a tragedy concocted by a villain who's nothing like what he seems.

In the end, this is a good fucking book. It works like the best tragedies, feeling at once inevitable and entirely avoidable, a string of happenstances that couldn't have happened any other way. On the night of Order 66 there was a pit in my stomach that wouldn't go away until Mace Windu died and Darth Vader was born, and it says something that a massacre released all that built-up tension.

I'd recommend this to Star Wars fans and those who like tragedy, and for those who are both you're in for a treat. For fans of neither it's a hard pull, but I'd recommend reading the opening and seeing if it's for you. It may just have a way of sucking you in. Or, if you have 94 minutes, check out OSP's video on the subject, and so become enlightened.

(Also for whatever reason the version I read included dozens of after-story bits, like previews for other books, and some helpful bits like the Legends timeline that's now been rendered obsolete by that bastard Disney. You'll probably find this a shorter read than you were at first alerted)

I’ve never read A Good Man is Hard to Find so idk how to help there but maybe you could draw a reference to pop culture with like how so many villains are physically deformed (prime example here being 2 face from the batman universe) and how that’s affected our current perceptions of beauty and goodness? It really irks me to see only evil characters have burn scars and stuff like that because I know burn victims and like??? They’re kids? Who had bad luck with a campfire or a stove? Or firefighters???? Why would you code that as being evil, I don’t get it. (guess why Luca has burn scars in Storge lol there’s some fun meta stuff for you)

Another thing about Hyde that I like that osp pointed out is that “He’s a resident of the uncanny valley” like perfectly average and forgettable but just *wrong* enough somehow to be unsettling without you being able to pinpoint what that wrong-ness is. idk if that would be useful at all but it’s a good point!

Good luck figuring it out! Compare and contrast is hard!

I want to rant about my English essay cause I dunno what to write for it and ranting helps me figure out my points but no one has read the stories I'm writing on also if I get started on a rant I will not stop

MACERATA – Dopo la press preview organizzata nella mattinata per la stampa, le porte del Musei civici a Palazzo Buonaccorsi si sono spalancate per l’inaugurazione della mostra “Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare”, promossa dalla Regione Marche, dal Comune di Macerata, Macerata Musei e organizzata da Sistema Museo e curata da Aldo Colonetti.

Presenti alla cerimonia il sindaco Romano Carancini, l’assessore alla Cultura Stefania Monteverde, il curatore Aldo Colonetti, l’archistar Italo Rota, Maria Grazia Mattei presidente del MEET centro internazionale per la cultura digitale,  Gildo Pannocchia presidente dell’Istituzione Macerata Cultura, Gianluca Trequattrini Capo del Servizio Segreteria particolare del Direttorio e comunicazione della Banca d’Italia, Gianluca Bellucci  direttore Sistema Museo e Paolo Baldessarri architetto del progetto espositivo.

A cent’anni dalla fondazione della scuola che ha rivoluzionato il design e l’architettura, a Palazzo Buonaccorsi arriva una mostra che vuole recuperarne la memoria storica e ripensarne le influenze nel futuro. “Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare” desidera individuare ciò che è rimasto di quello spirito rivoluzionario e interrogarsi se è ancora possibile progettare mettendo al centro “le idee” e non “le cose”.

Macerata è il luogo ideale: uno dei pochi italiani che hanno frequentato il Bauhaus negli anni Trenta è Ivo Pannaggi, artista maceratese, poliedrico innovatore. Dal 19 luglio al 3 novembre nel museo civico di Palazzo Buonaccorsi, Palazzo Pellicani Silvestri, ex sede della Banca d’Italia, e la biblioteca comunale Mozzi Borgetti, la mostra animerà il centro storico cittadino con esposizioni e attività ed eventi collaterali.

Il progetto culturale vuole essere non solo una ricostruzione dei fatti e degli avvenimenti. Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare” vuole essere un dibattito di idee nell’organizzazione e nella definizione della “cultura materiale”, ovvero tutto ciò che rende possibile un’esistenza più razionale, senza dimenticare il ruolo fondamentale del pensieri e delle arti, strumenti necessari per tentare di disegnare il futuro.

Una mostra diffusa tra più sedi che presenta sullo stesso livello le collezioni storiche e le installazioni di artisti che guardano al futuro. “Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare” è promossa dalla Regione Marche, dal Comune di Macerata, Macerata Musei ed è organizzata da Sistema Museo con la collaborazione di ADI Associazione per il Disegno industriale – Delegazione Marche, Abruzzo, Molise, Centro Studi Pannaggi, Comune di Esanatoglia, Confindustria Macerata, Confindustria Marche, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Macerata, MEET, centro internazionale per la cultura digitale di Milano con il supporto di Fondazione Cariplo, Associazione Culturale Il Paesaggio dell’Eccellenza.

“Questa mostra poteva nascere solo a Macerata – ha detto l’assessore alla Cultura Stefania Monteverde introducendo gli interventi dei presenti – la città che ha dato i natali a Ivo Pannaggi, l’artista poliedrico che nel Novecento fu uno dei pochissimi italiani che frequentarono il Bauhaus da cui trasse ispirazioni innovative e le cui opere sono conservate ai Musei Civici di Palazzo Buonaccorsi.

Con questa mostra vogliamo dare un’opportunità per conoscere una straordinaria epoca di innovazione artistica nel Novecento e allo stesso tempo fare un omaggio a chi continua a sperimentare l’innovazione libera e coraggiosa nelle idee e nel fare. Saranno molti gli appuntamenti durante l’apertura della mostra per scoprire lo spirito delle nuove imprese creative e del nuovo artigianato 4.0,”.

“Macerata celebra i 100 anni dalla nascita del Bauhaus con il coraggioso spirito di sperimentazione che connota la sua indole di città creativa – ha affermato invece il sindaco Romano Carancini -. La propensione alla ricerca e l’attitudine a varcare terreni inediti ci permettono oggi di saggiare un percorso che proietta il presente verso il futuro. Il valore di questa scelta, di allestire una mostra dedicata al Bauhaus, il più famoso esperimento nel campo dell’educazione artistica che si sia compiuto in epoca moderna, si sposa con la politica culturale che l’Amministrazione comunale ha portato avanti in questi dieci anni.

E non è una scelta casuale ma legata a Ivo Pannaggi, al suo rapporto con la città ed è un’occasione per ricordare che una sezione dei Musei civici è dedicata a lui e alla sua arte. Pannaggi incarna l’indole di questo territorio che è poliedrico, curioso, laborioso e attento alle esigenze del vivere umano, dove l’industria non tradisce i tratti essenziali degli antichi mestieri, si aggiorna e progredisce. Non celebriamo oggi il centenario di una scuola ma un modello, la forza di un’idea che vive, che continua, si rigenera prendendo spinta dal passato e guardando al futuro.

Nel percorso di crescita della città di Macerata un aspetto fondamentale è stato la partecipazione, la condivisione il fare rete nelle idee e nelle visioni e la partecipazione era un elemento fondante della didattica del Bauhaus: l’unione delle arti, non più divise tra loro, si fa simbolo ed espressione di un’unica volontà creatrice. Macerata, città creativa, ancora una volta diventa scenario di un’inedita esperienza che consiste nel sapere recuperare le buone idee del passato per riportarle al presente dando loro un nuovo respiro”.

La parola è passata poi al presidente dell’Istituzione Macerata Cultura Gildo Pannocchia  che per primo ha lanciato l’idea di allestire una mostra dedicata al Bauhaus “L’idea da sola – ha detto – non dice nulla se non cade in un terreno fertile. Nel nostro caso il consiglio di amministrazione dell’Istituzione l’ha fatta sua e ha iniziato a lavorare per realizzarla. Il progetto ha così preso forma, ma per dare l’impronta abbiamo chiamato Aldo Colonetti”.

Il sindaco Romano Carancini ha ringraziato Gian Luca Treequattrini per il ruolo che ha svolto nel rapporto con la Banca d’Italia, per fare in modo che Palazzo Pellicani Silvestri potesse essere un’altra sede della mostra diffusa.

“Da un punto di vista personale Macerata per me ha rappresentato un tuffo nel passato  – ha detto Trequattrini- perché in questa città ci sono nato. Macerata per Banca d’Italia è una connessione forte, ha un significato particolare legato soprattutto alla figura di Carlo Azelio Ciampi che ha vissuto qui 10 anni. La vicinanza di Banca d’Italia con questo territorio, vittima del sisma, è forte. Ha fatto molto e ha in animo di fare altro. La sede di Macerata è stata una delle,prime a chiudere e ci è sembrato doveroso e importante mettere il palazzo a disposizione della città”.

A raccontare le genersi e i contenuti della mostra è stato il curatore. “La mostra Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare non è soltanto una ricostruzione storica della più importante scuola di progettazione del XX secolo in occasione del centenario. Rappresenta un grande viaggio nell’utopia, dalla Germania al mondo, fino ad arrivare a Macerata – ha detto Aldo Colonetti-, dove è nato Ivo Pannaggi, un protagonista delle arti applicate italiane, viaggiatore eclettico tra le Marche, la Germania e il Nord Europa.

E’ in questo spirito indiziario che è nato il progetto; dai documenti originali, provenienti dalla straordinaria collezione storica di un architetto come italo Rota che, fino dall’inizio di questa avventura, ha colto pienamente questo viaggio nelle avanguardie nel suo significato più attuale, ovvero da dove veniamo e soprattutto dove andremo. Ecco allora, dopo i materiali storici, mai come oggi vivi e fondamentali per disegnare il futuro, l’incontro con la cultura digitale, attraverso la collaborazione con Maria Grazia Mattei e il MEET, con quattro installazioni di artisti e progettisti che, in una realtà solo apparentemente virtuale, ci raccontano di un linguaggio che non può far a meno di dialogare con la grande avventura “analogica” del Bauhaus.

Le radici della nostra modernità risiedono nel dialogo tra saperi diversi e, soprattutto, tra l’intelligenza delle mani e un pensiero che si sviluppa “facendo le cose”. Palazzo Buonaccorsi ospita, nei suoi straordinari spazi, questo doppio percorso, per approdare poi, direttamente nelle stanze di Pannaggi, alle quali si arriva, vedendo per la prima volta, alcune opere rare del terzo italiano, insieme a Augusto Cernigo, Alfredo Bortoluzzi che hanno esperimentato direttamente le aule e i laboratori della scuola.

Ma Bauhaus significa anche contemporaneità, in particolare per quanto riguarda due capolavori del design industriale che ancora oggi sono presenti nelle nostre case: la sedia Wassily di Marcel Breurer e la poltrona Barcellona di Mies van del Rohe, per testimoniare  che il passato è tra noi, anche se spesse volte, non ne siamo consapevoli, travolti come siamo dalla contingenza di un presente che ha annullato il futuro. La mostra continua, sviluppandosi nella città antica, con altre due tappe: Palazzo Pellicani Silvestri, ex sede della Banca d’Italia, dove protagonista è il territorio delle Marche, fotografato da una serie di autori, coordinati da una grande maestro, Gabriele Basilico, che amava questa terra, interpretando così un concetto che potremmo definire di derivazione “Bauhaus”.

Ovvero, come scriveva Giorgio Fuà, “un’industrializzazione senza fratture”, dove il paesaggio mantiene la sua funzione unitaria e riconoscibile. L’altro protagonista di questa seconda tappa è l’opera di Alberto Meda, realizzata in scala reale per la prima volta, “Lightness”: la leggerezza affidata a una composizione dove le  parole diventano architettura. E’ il simbolo più coerente e rappresentativo di un’idea di Bauhaus in grado di segnare una direzione progettuale nel segno della sostenibilità.

Il percorso si conclude con la terza tappa ospitata nella Biblioteca Comunale Mozzi Borgetti è rappresentata da una serie di copertine della rivista culturale “La Lettura” de Il Corriere della Sera che ha deciso di dedicare l’immagine di ogni numero ad artisti, architetti, grafici, illustratori, designer, fotografici, in sostanza rimettendo al centro, oggi, l’idea fondamentale da cui nel 1919 nacque il Bauhaus. Come scriveva Giulio Carlo Argan nel suo “Walter Gropius e la Bauhaus”, “l’arte come perenne volontà di coscienza, è l’antitesi di ogni brutale volontà di potenza, spirito di pace contro spirito di guerra, virtù contro furore”. Parole attuali come non mai: abbiamo bisogno ancora di tanto Bauhaus, perché nei suoi indizi, sparsi nel mondo, nella vita di tutti i giorni, possiamo ritrovare il nostro destino, senza nostalgia né gratuiti storicismi”.

“Raccontare le radici del nuovo è questa una delle missioni di MEET, centro internazionale per la cultura digitale nato a Milano nel 2018 con il supporto di Fondazione Cariplo. Abbiamo aderito con grande gioia alla “chiamata” di Aldo Colonetti perché Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare guarda al passato come innesco del futuro – ha affermato Maria Grazia Mattei presidente MEET – .A cento anni dalla sua nascita, la scuola tedesca voluta da Gropius ispira e plasma il lavoro di artisti e creativi di tutto il mondo, come raccontiamo nella sezione Digital Landscapes. Attraverso quattro progetti molto diversi fra loro viaggiamo per il mondo, da Hong Kong a Berlino, passando per Miami e Rimini, rintracciando parallelismi ed eredità che ibridano i codici del Bauhaus con i linguaggi e i processi dell’era digitale. Citando Gropius, potremmo dire che il “nuovo edificio del futuro” ha nella Digital Disruption un elemento fondante. Questa mostra consente di accoglierlo ed interpretarlo come ingrediente culturale di un processo di cambiamento globale e paradigmatico”.

A chiudere la serie di interventi è stato Gianluca Bellucci, direttore di Sistema Museo: “Abbiamo lavorato molto per questa mostra, l’abbiamo pensata, progettata e costruita. Raccontare un oggetto complesso come Bauhaus non è facile, speriamo di esserci riusciti”.

Nell’aprile del 1919 un volantino annunciava la fondazione di una nuova scuola con l’obiettivo di unificare l’Accademia delle Belle Arti e la scuola di artigianato artistico di Weimar. Dopo 100 anni, l’insegnamento del Bauhaus rimane vivo, soprattutto nella sua vocazione di relazionarsi con il sistema produttivo e le sue dimensioni politiche e sociali.

Le Marche rappresentano un grande laboratorio unico sul piano territoriale. In particolare quel modello di sviluppo economico che Giorgio Fuà ha analizzato, descritto e reso noto in tutto il mondo e che, con le sue parole, potrebbe definirsi “industrializzazione diffusa senza fratture” dove le Marche e soprattutto Macerata non dimenticano mai la funzione fondamentale delle arti, dalla pittura all’architettura, dal teatro all’opera.

Il progetto espositivo è curato da Baldessari Baldessari. La mostra si articola in tre momenti, tra il museo civico di Palazzo Buonaccorsi, la Biblioteca comunale Mozzi Borgetti e Palazzo Pellicani Silvestri, ex sede della Banca d’Italia.

Il museo civico di Palazzo Buonaccorsi ospita un percorso che parte da una suggestiva installazione luminosa ispirata ai colori del Bauhaus e curata da iGuzzini illuminazione, sponsor tecnico, e propone al primo piano i documenti fondativi originali del movimento, selezionati dalla preziosa collezione di Italo Rota, che ne è anche curatore. In mostra le storiche testimonianze per raccontare come il Bauhaus si è presentato al mondo per riuscire nella sua missione innovatrice.

Al secondo piano, sei opere di Alfredo Bortoluzzi, artista impegnato alle origini del Bauhaus, che introducono in un suggestivo confronto con la sezione permanete dedicato a Ivo Pannaggi, pittore e architetto maceratese che ha frequentato la scuola di Walter Gropius fino alla sua chiusura voluta da Hitler nel 1933.

Nelle Sale dell’Eneide e di Ercole è allestita la sezione curata da Maria Grazia Mattei di MEET, centro internazionale per la cultura digitale di Milano, e intitolata “Digital Landscapes Corpo linguaggio azione”. Attraverso quattro installazioni di altrettanti creativi internazionali si indaga la relazione tra analogico e digitale che la scuola tedesca ha saputo intuire.

Il percorso rintraccia alcune caratteristiche fondative comuni che legano il movimento artistico nato nel 1919 alla contemporaneità digitale, come interdisciplinarità, sperimentazione di nuovi linguaggi espressivi e ibridazione di competenze tecnologiche e umanistiche con finalità non solo creative, ma anche produttive.

A Palazzo Pellicani Silvestri, ex sede della Banca d’Italia, è protagonista il paesaggio dell’industria marchigiana, in un percorso fotografico, curato dall’associazione culturale Il Paesaggio dell’Eccellenza, a cura di Alessandro Carlorosi, che racconta per immagini la relazione stretta tra industria e territorio. Da metà settembre il palazzo ospiterà “Lightness”, una grande installazione di Alberto Meda con la collaborazione di Francesco Iorio,  con una serie di progetti di giovani designer della regione, curata in collaborazione con Adi, associazione per il disegno industriale – delegazione Marche, Abruzzo, Molise.  di tutte le attività creative e progettuali, per cui la sua filosofia fa riferimento alla lezione del Bauhaus. Sono presenti, tra gli altri, disegni di Renzo Piano, Patti Smith, Mimmo Jodice, Mario Bellini, Mimmo Paladino, Brian Eno, John Berger, Alessandro Mendini, il tutto proprio nello spirito della scuola tedesca.

Durante la mostra è previsto un ricco programma di eventi e appuntamenti culturali sulla storia dell’arte, del design, dell’architettura, sull’artigianato 4.0, sulle media arts e sulla ricerca di modelli espressivi di nuova generazione, in collaborazione con le scuole, le università, l’Accademia di Belle Arti, le associazioni culturali, le associazioni di categoria. Ci sarà anche un concorso, una call per selezionare prodotti della manifattura artigianale che saranno poi i protagonisti di una mostra.

semi femminizzati come funzionano

La discreta evoluzione delle piante di cannabis auto-fiorenti è un fenomeno recente e portato avanti soprattutto dai growers spagnoli. In Italia l'uso sanitario dell'hashish venne citato per la prima volta dal medico Nicola Porta, del manicomio di Aversa (Annali, vol. CLXVII, 1858). E' un termine non proprio facile da ricordare quello che classifica il principio psicoattivo tuttora marijuana ( canapa”), quale si ottiene dalle infiorescenze essiccate delle piante femminili di cannabis. La cannabis terapeutica può essere prescritta solamente dal medico ed è utilizzata principalmente nella terapia del dolore per gravi patologie quali la sclerosi multipla e le lesioni midollari, ma anche durante la cura dei tumori per alleviare i sintomi causati dalla chemio e radioterapia. Sfortunatamente, chi pensa di andare allo Spannabis per andarsene marijuana deve cambiare i propri piani; all'interno dello spazio espositivo è infatti proibito sia il basata che la vendita di marijuana, di fatto sembrerebbe esserne proibita anche l'esposizione giacché di cannabis non se ne vede davvero traccia (anche se nell'aria, più di un aroma lasciava intuire che non dovesse essere molto lontana… chi cerca trova…). Antonella Soldo e Francesco Gentiloni descrivono i passaggi in un dossier del giugno 2014 curato per l' associazione Luca Coscioni e Verso buon diritto, e il quale conteneva la proposta del senatore Luigi Manconi vittoria affidare allo stabilimento di Firenze la produzione successo farmaci a base vittoria cannabis.

Requests??? Okay, but like actually prompt/suggestion (if you'd like one):

Someone's sick with something and they wake up with a headache. They tell their friends to try to cancel out on a plan citing that they're 'tired and not feeling the best', but their friends are like "I'm sure you're fine" and "You can sleep in the car," etc. Cause they've been planning whatever trip for months.

Then the sick person is like "💪 Yeah! I can definitely do this!" So they get up and don't actually tell their friends that they actually feel horrible and sick. At wherever they went, after a bit the sick person is like "oh, maybe I can't do this" then decide to tough it out anyways.

Then they end up passing out because their headache turned into a migraine and uh oh pain dizzy. Then just to add insult to injury, their friends don't understand that it's a *migraine* at first. When they wake up to the bright lights of one of them checking for a concussion or something, they end up getting sick from the pain.

That was way more then I actually planned on writing, but I like my stupid descriptors. Also your writing is so fun and cool :D

∆

Omg thank you! I’m using my new film crew characters for this bc I put it off so long lol

TW: fainting and emeto, of course

———

Lucas woke up with a banging headache. He also felt tired and a bit off in a way he couldn’t place. He figured out he was probably sick.

And to make this all the more inconvenient, Lucas knew he always gets dizzy or lightheaded in response to severe or prolonged pain. It had always happened since he hit puberty, and there was basically nothing he could do about it except try to mitigate the pain. It hadn’t kicked in yet, but he would have to keep it in mind.

Today was not a great day for that (not that any day is). Today was the first day of shooting for Penelope’s short film. He really couldn’t miss that.

Still, he didn’t want to expose his friends to any illness if they didn’t want to risk it. He laid in bed for a minute, trying to decide what to do, and eventually decided to call Penelope.

“Hey, Luke!” she answered almost immediately. “Are you on your way over?”

“No, I-“ he stuttered, confused.

He propped himself up in bed and looked at his clock.

9:30 already?

“I actually just woke up,” he admitted.

“What!?”

“I must have forgotten to set an alarm. Anyway, I’ve got a bit of a headache and I think I might be sick.”

“Oh, no,” she replied. “Are you still up for the shoot?”

“Oh, I thought you wouldn’t want me to come.”

“Well, I want you on camera. If you’re really not feeling good I’m sure me or Armando could do it, but I’d like to have you.”

“Alright, then yeah. I’ll just grab breakfast. I’ll probably be ready in about 30 minutes.”

“Okay, nice! See you there. And make sure to take care of yourself. I don’t want to have to bug you about that all day.”

“I will, I will. See you soon!”

“Text me when you’re on your way.”

“Alright.”

Lucas hung up the call.

He popped an ibuprofen, ate some cereal and brushed his teeth as quickly as he could, then headed out the door.

•••

“Hi Luke!” said Regan when they saw him.

“Hey,” he said to everyone with a wave.

“There you are!” Armando called out. “Of course you get here after we’re done setting everything up.”

Lucas gave a half-hearted chuckle. He knew he was joking because Lucas was usually one of the first people to arrive on set, second only to Armando and sometimes Penelope.

Regan and Jessica were in front of the camera and Armando was behind it, getting them into focus. Magnus was having his makeup done by Vio. Raj was holding the boom mic. Thomas was wandering around aimlessly. Penelope was watching the pop-up screen connected to the camera to see what Armando’s shot looked like.

“Have you started shooting yet?” Lucas asked Penelope.

“No, but we’re ready to,” she answered.

“Alright, let’s get going then!”

•••

Lucas had hoped that his duties as camera operator and director of photography would keep his mind off of how he felt, but they didn’t. He had to constantly fight to stay focused on the camera.

Armando was the AD, as usual, because telling people to pick up the pace came naturally to him. He was doing a fine job, but Lucas was making his job difficult. Armando kept having to tell Lucas to focus and listen.

Vio noticed Lucas’ slightly paler than normal complexion, frequent rubbing of his nose bridge and temples and lack of focus and energy early on. They were always observant about that sort of thing. They started asking him if he was okay every once in a while and making sure he drank water.

As time went on, Lucas’s headache grew worse. He asked Penelope for painkillers, but she didn’t have any. She told him to drink water. He did, and it didn’t seem to make any difference.

He started noticing how dizzy he was right around lunch time. Fortunately it was well-timed, because he could sit down while he ate a slice of the pizza they got delivered. He hoped that nutrition would help with his lightheadedness. He felt a bit better after sitting for a while, but alas, they had to continue shooting.

He did his best to get good shots and keep up the pace, but he kept feeling worse and worse. The greasy pizza became heavy in his stomach and he felt it churning around every time he moved. The dizziness kept getting stronger as well.

During a take, a wave of dizziness and lightheadedness hit him so hard he was sure he would pass out if he didn’t do anything about it. He couldn’t let that happen. If he passed out, he would drop the camera.

He squatted down and set the camera gently on the tile floor. He heard a couple of confused voices around him, probably Armando’s and Vio’s, but he couldn’t tell what they were saying. They sounded muffled and distorted.

He leaned his head down, breathed deeply and covered his eyes, blocking out the light.

He felt a hand on his back, then another one. The voices sounded worried and like they were asking questions. He wished he could answer them.

“I’m sorry, I just got really dizzy for a second,” Lucas explained.

He wondered if that even came out coherently.

Someone lifted his chin and took his hands away from his eyes. He tried to open his eyes to see who it was, but the light was just too bright. The dizziness only got worse. He started to feel weak.

The next thing he knew, he woke up laying on the floor.

As he regained consciousness, a bright light shone directly into his face. It felt like the light was stabbing through his eyeballs and into his brain.

The pain made everything spin and his stomach throw itself around before he could even react.

He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to block the light with his hand, but his arms were too weak to lift.

“Oh, god!” he exclaimed.

Muffled voices chattered around him again. The light shut off, but the stabbing pain lingered. His stomach couldn’t take it.

“I’m gonna puke, I’m gonna puke, I’m gonna puke,” he repeated urgently.

Someone rolled him over onto his left side just in time for his abs to clench, forcing greasy pizza mush mixed with stomach acid out onto the floor.

He groaned and finally opened his eyes. Luckily, now, people were standing over him, blocking the overhead lights.

“Was that it or are you going to puke again?” Vio asked, holding a trash can.

“I don’t know,” Lucas breathed heavily.

“Do you think you can sit up?” they asked him.

“No,” he said frankly.

“Oh. Should we- should we call an ambulance?” Vio said to Penelope.

“No, don’t,” Lucas objected.

“Are you sure? Passing out and then throwing up is really bad,” Vio opined.

“Yeah. I just have a really bad headache,” he said.

“Oh, could it be a migraine?” Penelope asked.

“It probably is,” he told her.

“That explains it,” she said.

“Really?” Vio questioned. “I know people throw up from migraines, but they don’t usually pass out.”

“Lucas always gets dizzy when he’s in, like, a lot of pain,” Penelope explained. “I’ve seen him pass out from it before, when he broke his butt.”

“What?” Vio questioned.

“He broke his ass bone and then passed out,” Armando said. “It was hilarious.”

“Yeah, it was pretty funny,” Lucas said with a chuckle.

“Oh, okay then,” Vio said. “You’ll have to tell me that story later. But for now, are you feeling any better?”

“Yeah. I’ll be fine,” he assured them, propping himself up on his elbow. “I’ll just take a break.”

“Of course,” Penelope said. “Armando, you can do camera. I’m sorry for even asking you to come in today, Lucas.”

“It’s okay,” he told her. “I’m sorry. I should’ve known.”

“It’s okay. You go take a break,” said Penelope, gesturing toward a bench down the hall. “We need to keep shooting.”

“Alright.”

Lucas slowly and carefully stood up. Vio steadied him with their hand on his shoulder, even though when standing, he was much taller than them.

He walked down the hallway, stumbling a few times. He was glad Vio was there to catch him.

They reached the bench and he sat down, then leaned his head down and covered his eyes like he did before.

He heard a sound that was undoubtedly a trash can being placed in front of him, then someone sitting down next to him on the bench.

“Thanks,” he said.

“No problem,” said Vio.

Vio stayed with him as much as they could. They would occasionally get called over to help fix a costume or answer a question about the production design, but they were by Lucas’ side for most of the time.

Eventually the migraine subsided and Lucas drove himself home.

Acting Drunk

TW: alcohol, emeto

———

Magnus and Lucas walked onto set just on time. Well, they were technically late. Penelope already had the camera set up, Raj had the sound set up, and Regan and Jessica were in their costumes. Armando had the lights set up and was running around making sure everyone was doing their jobs.

“Hey, you’re here!” Penelope greeted them.

Then she noticed something strange. Magnus was staggering a little and had that stupid smile on his face that he always had when he was drunk.

“Wait, Magnus, have you actually been drinking for this, or are you just already in character?” she asked lightheartedly.

“Maybe a little bit of both,” he answered.

His words were just barely noticeably slurred.

“He’s had four beers already,” Lucas exposed him.

“Is that a lot?” Regan asked.

“It’s too much to drink before a shoot,” Armando said.

“Not for me,” Magnus countered. “I’m a very productive drunk.”

“I guess we’ll see about that,” Armando snarked.

“I don’t know about that, but I at least know he isn’t an asshole when he’s drunk,” Lucas remarked.

“But isn’t he supposed to be for this?” Jessica asked.

“That’s true,” said Lucas.

“I mean, I can be an asshole if you want me to be,” Magnus said jokingly, “but I figured you wouldn’t want me to be that kind of method actor.”

“You were right,” Jessica assured him.

“Oh, and check this out.” Lucas pulled two beer bottles out from behind his back. “We bought these for him to drink during the scene.”

“Oh my god.” Armando rolled his eyes. “He’s going to get way too drunk.”

“Hey, it was his idea to use real beer,” Lucas defended himself.

“I think he just tricked you into buying him a bunch of drinks,” Penelope joked.

“Maybe.” Lucas laughed. “But I’m the director, so let’s just say it was my ‘creative decision.’ Anyway, let’s get started.”

He was right about being able to act while drunk. In fact, he was so good at acting like an angry alcoholic dad that everyone on set was scared by it, especially Regan and Jessica. He apologized profusely after every take of yelling at them. At least it made for good reaction shots.

They moved to Armando’s living room (or more accurately, his parents’ living room), to shoot the next scene, in which Magnus’s character gets interrupted by his kids while drinking and watching a football game and then he chases them around.

Lucas wanted to have it all be one long take. Every time they messed something up, they had to do the whole scene again. Magnus kept basically chugging the beer at the beginning of the scene even though he didn’t need to, so he went through a whole bottle in three takes.

“Jesus, Magnus, you could slow down a bit,” Lucas said after the third take.

“No cause I’m trying to catch them,” Magnus objected.

“No, I meant with the beer,” Lucas clarified.

“Ah, it’s fine,” Magnus slurred. “Le’s jus’ do another take.”

In the next take he opened the second bottle. Luckily it was a good take and they could move on to the next scene.

“Alright, let’s move to the kitchen,” Lucas directed.

“Wait, first—“ Magnus stopped and covered a loud burp with his fist. “I think I’m gonna be sick.”

“Go outside if you’re really going to do that.” Armando pointed him toward the front door.

“A’right, c’mere and get it on camera,” Magnus said, motioning for Penelope and Raj to come with him as he stumbled toward the door.

“What?” Penelope asked.

“C’mere!” He opened the door. “Lucas can use it in the film.”

“…Okay. Go ahead,” Lucas told them.

“I can’t. I can’t watch someone be sick or I’ll be sick,” Raj explained.

“Luke, you take the mic then,” Magnus slurred.

Penelope picked up the tripod and followed him outside. Lucas took the sound equipment from Raj and followed them both.

“Rest of you, stay in there or you’ll ruin the shot,” Magnus told Armando, Jessica and Regan as he closed the door behind Lucas.

He stumbled over to a bush in the front yard and braced his hands on his knees. Penelope and Lucas started recording, still confused as to why they were going along with this.

Magnus let out a deep, wet belch. Usually something like that would make him laugh when he was drunk, but now he was clearly back in character. Suddenly, a torrent of vomit came gushing from his mouth. It was clearly just beer. He seemed utterly unfazed.

Jessica peered through the small window next to the front door. Magnus caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye.

“Hey, get the fuck outta here!” he yelled, shooing her away with one hand before puking up what was probably a whole bottle of beer at once.

Jessica scurried away from the window.

“Okay, cut,” Lucas said, shocked at Magnus’s performance. “Magnus, are you good?”

“Of course,” Magnus responded with an amused smile. He quietly heaved up a few spoonfuls of alcohol. “D’you get the shot?”

“Yeah,” Lucas said.

“You really need to drink some water or have something to eat,” Penelope told him.

“I will. Hold on.” Magnus burped up a little more liquid. “M’kay, I think I’m done.” He stood up and started to stagger his way back inside.

Penelope guided him with her hand on his back and the other hand carrying the tripod.

“You’re going to have a hell of a hangover,” Lucas said, following them in with the sound equipment.

“Nahhh, i’s fine.”

———

I keep writing these ones that are perfect setups for sequels lol. Maybe I’ll write about Magnus’s hangover eventually, if anyone wants to see that.

That Time Lucas Broke his Ass and Passed Out

This is set in Penelope, Armando and Lucas’ sophomore (second) year, when Pen had just joined the film club, so she and Lucas have not know each other very long

Inspired by #7 and #2 on my favorite whump tropes list

TW: breaking bones, syncope/fainting, avoiding medical treatment (due to the cost)

———

All he was going to do was walk backwards while filming. He had done this many times before. Totally normal situation.

Little did he know, this time would be anything but normal.

“Camera?” the director, Henry, said.

“Rolling,” Lucas responded as he pressed the ‘record’ button on the device.

It was his first time using the university’s biggest, heaviest, fanciest, and most expensive camera.

“Sound?” Henry asked.

“Speed,” said the sound tech, Penelope.

“Scene one, shot one-A, take two, marker,” Armando, the assistant director, said.

He then let the top of the clapboard fall, making the distinctive loud click. He stepped to the side.

“Action!”

The actors began saying their lines and walking toward Lucas. He started walking backwards quickly to keep pace with them. His mind was focused intensely on keeping the shot steady and walking smoothly. His feet barely lifted off the ground.

His heel caught on something. Sounds of concern came from several people in the room.

In the next few seconds, several thoughts raced through his mind.

Oh shit, I’m falling!

I can’t drop this camera. It’s way too expensive!

Welp, this is going to hurt, but it’s a sacrifice I’m going to have to make.

In real time, it just looked like him falling unceremoniously on his butt without even trying to catch himself.

It was way worse than he thought it would be. His tailbone smacked the tile floor hard. The pain shot up like a bullet through his spine. He definitely felt the right side of the bone crack.

“FUCK!” he yelled out involuntarily.

“Ooch, that’s gotta hurt,” Henry said.

Lucas squeezed his eyes shut and breathed shakily and slowly, trying not to scream.

“Are you okay?” Penelope asked.

The lightheadedness started to creep in.

Oh, I should’ve expected this…

He carefully set the camera down next to him.

“I think I actually broke my ass,” Lucas said.

Henry couldn’t hold back laughter. Lucas cracked a slight smile. He couldn’t say it wasn’t funny, even though it was extremely painful.

“Seriously?” Henry asked incredulously.

“Yeah, seriously,” Lucas responded.

Henry laughed even harder.

“Here, I’ll help you up,” Penelope offered.

He finally opened his eyes to see that she was standing next to him, holding her hand out for him to take.

He didn’t want to move, but he couldn’t just sit there forever. He grabbed her hand and started to pull himself up. The pain spiked, as he expected it to, and he pushed through it and stood up.

That may have been a bad idea.

The lightheadedness increased as well, as it usually did in response to pain. The room started to spin. He stumbled forward a few steps as his vision filled with colorful sparks. Penelope caught him by the shoulder and steadied him.

“You okay?” she asked.

“Yeah, just a bit dizzy,” he answered, leaning his head down to try to get the blood flow back. “It happens to me sometimes.”

“You should probably sit down then.”

“I’d rather lie down, considering my ass is broken,” he quipped.

“Okay, yeah,” she said with a laugh.

She started leading him to the nearest bench, her hand on his back. He staggered again. His balance was practically nonexistent. Penelope put his arm over her shoulder so he could lean on her.

He tried to blink away the colored dots but they wouldn’t go away. His legs got weaker and his head spun faster.

He heard her say something, but he couldn’t understand. It felt like he was floating away and falling asleep at the same time.

***

He seemed to be leaning on her shoulders more and more. She looked over and noticed his face looked paler than normal.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” she said.

The blush vanished from his cheeks. His eyes rolled back and he went limp in her arms.

“Lucas!?”

Luckily, he was rather light and she was rather strong, so she lowered him gently to the floor so he was laying on his front.

“Did he just pass out?” Armando asked in disbelief.

“I guess so,” Penelope answered. “Lucas?”

Everyone started to gather around him.

“What the hell? Why would he pass out?” Henry wondered aloud.

“I don’t know,” Penelope said. “He said he was dizzy, and he said ‘it happens sometimes,’ and then he just… went out.”

“Oh, if it happens sometimes then this might be, like, normal for him,” said senior and director of photography, Olivia. “So maybe we shouldn’t freak out about it yet. Plus, I’ve seen him get dizzy before.”

“Did he faint though?” Penelope questioned.

“No, he just sat down for a bit and had a snack and he was fine,” Olivia explained.

“Look, I think he’s waking up,” Armando noted.

***

The first thing he was aware of was some voices talking around him. The second was the white-hot pain in his ass. (No, not inside his ass. In the bone.)

Then he opened his eyes. Things were somewhat blurry, but he could see the floor and two sets of shoes and someone kneeling in front of his face. He noticed his cheek was pressed up against the cold tile floor.

Why am I laying on the floor?

He blinked the blur away and recognized the person kneeling in front of him was Penelope.

Nothing made sense. He didn’t understand what anyone was saying, where he was, or why he was there. Penelope seemed to realize she wasn’t getting through to him and placed her hand on his back. The feeling of it helped him stop panicking.

That’s really nice of her. She looks so worried about me, too. What should I say to her?

“Hi, Penelope,” he slurred out.

“Oh, hey, he said something!” she said to the others. “Hi, Lucas. Can you hear me?”

“Yeah, I hear you,” he responded.

“Good.”

“How do you feel right now?” Olivia asked him.

“Uh.. weird,” Lucas replied.

The feeling in his head was hard to describe, and it certainly wasn’t a state of mind that lent itself well to putting difficult descriptions into words.

“Are you still dizzy? Lightheaded?” she asked.

“No, that’s not it,” he told her.

The feeling was slowly disappearing.

“Well, have you ever passed out before?” Penelope asked him.

He took a second to process the fact that that must be what just happened—he passed out—and then to remember whether it had happened before.

“Yeah, I have,” he said. “Twice, I think. And it’s always been when I was in a lot of pain.”

“Ohhh. I guess this makes sense, then,” Olivia figured.

Lucas propped himself up on his elbows.

“Yeah, and a couple of times, I’ve just gotten a bit dizzy when something hurts. A lot of times, actually.”

“Oh, alright,” Penelope said. “Well, if you think you actually broke a bone, I guess you should go to an ER or something.”

“What are they gonna do, put my ass in a cast? No. I’m not gonna pay a bunch of money for them to tell me it’s broken and send me home.”

“They’d probably give you prescription painkillers,” Olivia suggested.

“Maybe,” Lucas admitted. “But I’m fine without them.”

“Are you sure?” Penelope questioned. “You did just say you pass out from pain a lot. That sounds… rather inconvenient.”

“It’ll be fine. I have Tylenol.”

“If you say so.”
