“I was sitting in a box in which I had rented one seat. Three ladies sat in front of me and a young man occupied the place behind me. The intense excitement under which he was laboring, thanks to the potent force of the music, betrayed itself presently when he began to beat rhythmically on the top of my head with his fists. My emotion was so great that I did not feel the blows for some time. They were perfectly synchronized with the beat of the music. When I did, I turned around. His apology was sincere. We had both been carried beyond ourselves.”

— American writer and music critic Carl Van Vechten on the premiere of The Rite of Spring. Paris, May 29th, 1913.

"Salmon Meidine" Paddle

Margaret August

from the website: “Salmon are considered the keepers of wisdom and inner knowing who despite strong river currents, will always return to the place of its creation. Their determination is driven by that very wisdom of instinct and inner knowing. Coming full circle, salmon finish what they begin, bringing cycles to closure.” – Margaret August 2024

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

"There is a long-held stigma against people considered to be having “too much” sex, but there’s also one held against those having “too little,” with the goalposts of judgment moving for every person and their individual opinions. Slut-shaming is a huge problem, with women in particular being ostracized for having multiple partners. On the flip-side, vanilla⁠-shaming is a topic being spoken about a lot at the moment, with Tiktok trends glamorizing rough sex and shaming teenagers who aren’t thrilled with the idea of being choked when they haven’t even figured out what they like and what they don’t yet in terms of sex and sexuality.

People seem to have a problem with sex no matter how much or little you have of it, and that’s the true root of the problem. The number of people you choose to sleep with isn’t the crux of sexual liberation. People who choose to have sex with fewer (or no) people shouldn’t be ashamed, and neither should people who choose to have multiple partners. It’s all about the choice - having the agency to sleep with as many or as few people as you please. It doesn’t make you naïve or boring or a slut⁠ or a whore; it’s just a choice that you’ve made, and that in itself is sexually liberating."

#abaolutely grinds my gears how common choking has become online as a 'vanilla' act #it is quite literally one of the most dangerous things you can do and that's IF you know what you're doing #seeing people putting very obvious pressure on someone's hyoid bone bc they dont realize you can EASILY break it makes me want to scream

i think the advice came from @ms-demeanor !

This was in 2020 and it was advice about how not to lose your mind when deprived of the ability to go outside.

I made this comic back in July of 2020 after starting my daily meteorological fiction project in March of that year! I was never able to remember where I first read that phrase, but as far as I know, it should have been over 15 years ago. I think the way it was phrased was rather specific, but it also is a common piece of advice, which is why I didn’t feel too bad basing my comic around it.

Honestly, the more people spread the sentiment, the better, and I still mean every word of this comic, maybe even more than when I made it.
