TeeDee is a nickname shared by two friends and it was supposed to be "cool" back when we were teenagers; this blog is nothing more than a timeline of my hyperfixations and some memes

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.

I just have one tiny tweak I wanna make to that last scene. Otherwise no notes, A+ game.

[image description: A five-panel comic shows a ginger cat walking out of a dark, overgrown alley and up some mossy stairs into the sunlight. The small drone the cat is carrying in its mouth gleams in the sun. After reaching the top of the stairs, the cat places the drone onto the mossy ground and sits beside it, looking up at the sun in the sky.]

My roman empire is that meme of Tarkovsky saying: 'Poetic cinema' while looking awe-struck, and that ppl use it thinking he means like "when a movie is really good", but he's actually talking about a specific film movement - Ukrainian Poetic Cinema - which influenced his work a tone, and a Ukrainian film director - Oleksandr Dovzhenko who was on the forefront of this movement in the 1920s - 1930s, and you can find also find the influence of the artistic continuation of the Ukrainian Poetic Cinema in the 1960s in his works, and he stanned Parajanov, and still the Western academia erases that influence, pushes the Ukrainian Poetic Cinema of the 1960s into the same box of the Soviet New Wave, even though this is a very distinct artistic movement with a unique visual grammar that you don't find in the russian New Wave, because the lens through which the cinema is viewed is still deeply colonialist
