reposting this an additional time bc I feel so strongly about it, Women and Other Monsters is a spectacular book and the best thing that could possibly come out of this little cultural moment around Greek mythology would be for it to become the phenomenon it’s always deserved to be
Jess Zimmerman@jesszimmerman.com · 2w agoI can’t believe it took me this long into the Odyssey discourse to think to post this but… if you loved the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis and you also love stuff Elon Musk would consider too woke, have I got a book for you
Larry laid his mouse in front of the press to be photographed. Lest you ask, this is a real photograph via the Press Association.
Seriously one of the great productions of recent years. If you don't know, it's a jazzy bluesy take on the story of Orpheus going down to Hades to rescue his Eurydice. A truly fantastic cast, great songs, a great story and a great ending. Even if you're not into musicals, go see it. Trust me.
Racheline Maltese@racheline.bsky.social · 2w agoBecause I’m discovering people don’t know this - the pro shot of Hadestown with the original cast is in movie theaters for five days only in a few days and you should go.

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com This is just a fraction of her 50 years of quilting.
Omg this sounds like an amazing event
Erin L. Thompson@artcrimeprof.bsky.social · 4w agoAt the @nychistory.bsky.social for the reenactment of the toppling of the statue of George III by New Yorkers who’d just listened to the Declaration of Independence.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel. The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

Equal protection, but not of those people. Yuck.
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last mo.The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

this episode is an absolute delight. I personally feel that rescheduling Hanukkah to a convenient date is acceptable. As a person who grew up having 25-30 people at our house for Passover and will share my mother's advice for hosting Passover
