Anonymous asked:
what is it about Rothko (with the intention of uncovering some deep, inaccessible part of my being through your answer)
It's hard to write about art. It becomes a lot of assembling and dismantling adjectives, storing anecdotes and often, because of why you're writing about it, some gentle coercion to get someone to like something that you do. It's a genuine impulse but a hapless task.
I love lots of artists and Rothko is one. However, I never intended to get so involved in him, I just thought he was the right artist for a once a day mediation. Rothko is an ecumenical painter. He wants everyone to look. He names nothing in his paintings. He offers no intellectual distractions or influences. He literally would not have it any other way. Few artists invite that kind of scrutiny and come back swinging, but Rothko measures up pretty well.
I went to the works on paper show a few times. The group on display were punchy as hell. They looked just painted. It didn't look like paper, it hardly looked like paint. It reminded me that I look at Rothko paintings every single day and I still find them full of new things to excite me. Maybe I'm a sucker.
I imagine every one of us wishes we could show our favorite things and magically have them fall on everyone like love, but I don't think anything is for everyone. Like Proust, I do recommend that everyone tries a little Rothko now and then to see if you have lined up with it. In Rothko one thing hides another. And the other can be an endless sea.

Watching Rhys smile and keep looking at Taika to see if his improv will make Taika crack while also remaining in character as Stede radiating absolute sunshine are some small moments in the show I live for.

Broke:
Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.
Woke:
Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.
So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.
If anyone is curious here is the wikipedia section describing this.
[ID: Gif image from Disney's Beauty and the Beast with Gaston leading a large group of villagers down the road holding a torch. The atmosphere is dark.
Wikipedia screenshot containing the following:
According to accounts by Kristin Enmark, one of the hostages, the police however was acting incompetently, with little care for the hostages' safety, which forced the hostages to negotiate for their life and release with the robbers on their own. In the process the hostages saw the robbers behaving more rationally than police negotiators and therefore developed a deep distrust towards the latter. Enmark had criticized Bejerot specifically for endangering their lives by behaving aggressively and agitating the captors. She had criticized the police for pointing guns at the convicts while the hostages were in the line of fire and she had told news outlets that one of the captors tried to protect the hostages from being caught in the crossfire. She was also critical of prime minister Olof Palme, as she had negotiated with the captors for freedom, but the prime minister told her that she would have to content herself to die at her post rather than give in to the captors' demands. Ultimately, Enmark explained she was more afraid of the police whose attitude seemed to be a much larger, direct threat to her life than the robbers.]
Hope the ID helps, it's my first time writing one.
Excerpts from “See What You Made Me Do: The Dangers of Domestic Abuse That We Ignore, Explain Away, or Refuse to See” by Jess Hill
Here are some other facts you should know about Nils Bejerot: He had a major influence (this involved founding the "Swedish National Association for a Drug-free Society") on Sweden's zero-tolerance approach to drug use.
And he wrote "Barn, Serier, Samhälle" (Children, Comics, Society), basically the Swedish version of "Seduction of the Innocent"; an infamous anti-comics book by Fredric Wertham that led to the Comics Code Authority.
Bejerot described comic books as a "significant mental hygiene and cultural problem that concerns us all."
This is the man who coined the phrase "Stockholm syndrome", guys.
...he is weaving the chocolate. Do you copy, this bitch is WEAVING CHOCOLATE

(first off: I'm not an astronomer, and I may be wildly off, but…) I had always assumed that "This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour", on the first page of Good Omens, was a throwaway joke. Today I realised it might actually be a reference; was it?
AIUI, Ussher said that although the creation occurred on the autumn equinox (22 September), he gave the date as 21 October to account for the drift caused by the Julian calendar, which was in use in Ireland at that time. I think he also said that it occurred at 9am Irish time, because that's noon in Jerusalem.
What just occurred to me is that Irish civil time is calculated from the Greenwich meridian. But Ussher lived in Armagh, 6.55° west of Greenwich. The solar time in Armagh at noon in Jerusalem is 9:19am and on 21 October is 9:11am. So 9am is off by almost a quarter of an hour.
Thanks for all the happy memories and the solidarity over the years.
I just want to show this to Terry Pratchett.
