#this is how I counter act

My boss: One day I see you on your computer while behind the windows, and all I saw was pictures of birds.

Me: You watch what am I doing from behind the windows ?

Feel like Neil couldn’t have been any other kind of actor than one in theatre. If he was a movie actor or on social media or whatnot, it would not be the same. Theatre by nature is fleeting. Recorded mediums can be rewatched over and over, creating a time loop of sorts. We the audience can keep going back to a time when Neil is still alive. Theatre however is live and once the play is over, there is no going back except in our memories. It is much like life. We are forced to live in the moment in a theater lest we miss it altogether. It’s not that the poets choose to live in a world where Neil is dead, it’s that they must because the only other option is to die themselves. I feel like Keatings teachings could only be reflected in stage theatre because that’s the only way there can be no time loop of grief. I think dead poets society itself isn’t about overcoming the authority in your life to do what you want but rather about grief, about allowing oneself to feel grief and all one’s emotions without letting it consume you and to keep living after, to live every day in the moment lest you fall into grief and regret that will destroy you or force you into a miserable life

One thing about me is that if you shun or try to isolate a friend of mine (or just anyone who you’ve dubbed a “fault in the system” or harmful despite evidence to the contrary) after you misjudged them for being a bad or malicious or untrustworthy person, I am going to rabidly support them and be extra fucking loud about it and make sure their voices are heard from every corner and it will literally be my driving force to stay online and alive for years.

Kay, thanks for this link, reading the essay was almost quasi-religious to this lifelong atheist. It's an absurdly optimistic piece and all the more rebellious for it, I think.

I could quote so much more from it, but perhaps this is the most relevant bit right now...

For radicals, fetishizing the guillotine is just like fetishizing the state: it means celebrating an instrument of murder that will always be used chiefly against us.

Those who have been stripped of a positive relationship to their own agency often look around for a surrogate to identify with—a leader whose violence can stand in for the revenge they desire as a consequence of their own powerlessness. In the Trump era, we are all well aware of what this looks like among disenfranchised proponents of far-right politics. But there are also people who feel powerless and angry on the left, people who desire revenge, people who want to see the state that has crushed them turned against their enemies.

Reminding “tankies” of the atrocities and betrayals state socialists perpetrated from 1917 on is like calling Trump racist and sexist. Publicizing the fact that Trump is a serial sexual assaulter only made him more popular with his misogynistic base; likewise, the blood-drenched history of authoritarian party socialism can only make it more appealing to those who are chiefly motivated by the desire to identify with something powerful.

-Anarchists in the Trump Era

Now that the Soviet Union has been defunct for almost 30 years—and owing to the difficulty of receiving firsthand perspectives from the exploited Chinese working class—many people in North America experience authoritarian socialism as an entirely abstract concept, as distant from their lived experience as mass executions by guillotine. Desiring not only revenge but also a deus ex machina to rescue them from both the nightmare of capitalism and the responsibility to create an alternative to it themselves, they imagine the authoritarian state as a champion that could fight on their behalf. Recall what George Orwell said of the comfortable British Stalinist writers of the 1930s in his essay “Inside the Whale”:

“To people of that kind such things as purges, secret police, summary executions, imprisonment without trial etc., etc., are too remote to be terrifying. They can swallow totalitarianism because they have no experience of anything except liberalism.”

the thing about a starstruck odyssey. that i run into. is that margaret's position is not really discussed w any depth or specificity at least up to like. the point i have watched to. and that's a bummer specifically bc the position of the show seems to be that: she decided to help this ragtag team and she left the company before she did anything irredeemable. but this is disproven by her position. like it is unbelievable that she did not believe in scummy things and go along with horrible actions in order to reach her level of prestige.

the impression that margaret is a good person, that she's trying to get out of bad company, is largely bc ally plays margaret as someone who is fair and sympathetic to other people. ally beardsley (player) wants to help so margaret encino (character) must also have good impulses. which is nearly impossible to reconcile with margaret's backstory at this point. like. why is she doing any of this. she's such a weird character.

also. the way the show/game reacts to her wielding her power is a little unsettling. none of the crew are good people necessarily, but there is a recognition of the way norman's power and his use of it is abusive. this recognition does not carry through into recognizing the inevitable harm margaret must have actively pursued to have the position she does, and the way that power then influences the crew. its a little bizarre!

Do y'all think Jayce will become a rude bastard like his character in LoL (from what I gathered) after act 3?

In the sense that, even if he keeps his moral compass, he might try to distance himself from others after this fuck up of the century?

[aromanticasterisms]

This photo of what I found has me screaming, crying, throwing up and biting at the cage bars. Someone on a uranium glass page said it's from Czechoslovakia but that the exact maker is unknown. I've got two more pieces from the same set but the pics don't look anywhere near as cool but I'll still post them 😅
