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.

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!

stupid sexy skeletons
send shivers down your spine

re Pathfinder “Inner Sea Taverns” splatbook;

ARRRR lad, we chum the waters here from the tavern not eight yards from the jakes, fer nought feels more “pirate” than knowing them snapping jaws and razor sharp teeth be only a little below yer bare jacksy! ARRR! Yarrrr.

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.

interrupting the banjo concert with enthusiastic shouts of “a queer sort o taown at the mouth of the Manuxet River”

My good deed for the day was pointing an older well intentioned white lesbian onto King’s “How Long Not Long” speech. For this I should get at least one cookie nebbech.

“Finding my dream job” yeah? what if my dream job is drawing? What if it’s working for a museum? What if the dream aspects of the job are an okay place to stay at but pays enough to survive AND travel AND have more hobbies? Capitalists literally don’t think of shit like that.

“We’re turning around. They’re taking us back to Germany.”

“It tells me that goose-stepping mortals such as yerself should try READING books instead of BURNING ‘em!”

Exciting pulp adventure soundtrack except every time the little militaristic leitmotif plays the Germans need to loudly pull back the bolts on their MP39s. Every time.

Decided The Map Room Dawn or Out to Sea are tied for my favorite John Williams movie track.

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
