there's this question that makes the rounds of Twitter now and then, what's a piece of art that really gets you
I found something more heartbreaking than a 1936 Yiddish language film which shows Warsaw's Jewish Quarter.
https://youtu.be/HoO47PEmwcw is May 1939, so everyone you see in this movie will be dead within 5 years. Wanna know what it looks like right before the world ends? This is it.
more "with translation, Ashkenazic Jewish culture becomes Japanese culture, and vice versa;"
compare the lyrics to "Beltz"
"The little house is old
overgrown with moss.
the little house is old
no glass in the windows
the little house is old
the walls are bent
I would surely
not recognize it again."
and "Kojo No Tsuki"
"Now there is the moon over the desolate castle.
Whom is it shining for without change?
Only tendrils remain on the walls.
Only the storm sings between branches of the pines."
Throw out your hands! Stick out your tush!
Hands on your hips! Give them a push!
You'll be surprised you're doing the French Mistake, voila!

Dude! Look what someone posted in its entirety to YT!
One of those “you can’t have patriarchy without matriarchs demanding their experience be morally good” sort of deals.
Probably not a new discovery to most of y’all but I was thinking part of why TERFS hate transness so much is it calls intensely misogynistic indoctrination into question. You can’t feel all moral for your suffering as a woman when someone simply walks away from womanhood… or they walk IN, and now you have to face your years of sexist misery not winning the suffering competition. I’m sure there’s a similarity fucky male equivalent.

Was thinking about social media in terms of picnics;
LinkedIn is a picnic with coworkers
Facebook is a picnic with relatives
Instagram is a picnic with the model railroad club, pretty good but basically you don’t get any interaction friendlier than looking at models
Twitter is a picnic with friends and fellow hobbyists except now the park’s full of billboards and your chances are of running into someone’s political rally are fairly good

oh YEAH! Horner's musical cue for when the Achaeans attack the Tractor Factory! oooh, and referencing both the Schostakovich 11 and Prokofiev's "Alexander Nevsky"! ZA RODINU!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
